PrefaceIn today's societies, multiple, but individual operational infrastructures such as transportation and power grids exist together and are connected via physical, cyber, and logical interdependencies to function as tightly-coupled socio-technical system of systems with complicated behavior. Continuous, reliable operation and resilience of such critical interdependent infrastructures is crucial for maintaining homeland security, economic prosperity, and quality of people's life.This edited book is motivated by recent advances in simulation, modeling, sensing, communications/information, and intelligent and sustainable technologies that have resulted in the development of sophisticated methodologies and instruments to design, characterize, optimize, and evaluate critical infrastructure systems, their resilience and interdependencies, and their condition and the factors that cause their deterioration.There are ten carefully selected chapters contained in this book which cover the broad spectrum of latest advances in the simulation, modeling, and intelligent engineering of sustainable resilient critical infrastructure systems. Each chapter has been peer-reviewed by at least two anonymous referees to assure the highest quality.The chapter entitled "Synthesis of Modeling and Simulation Methods on Critical Infrastructure Interdependencies Research" introduces a conceptualization of current research that integrates the multiple ideas in the field of infrastructure interdependencies into a unified hierarchical structure that navigates through research advances from early papers in the1980's to date. This research survey highlights that most of the existing interdependence modeling strategies are not competing but rather complementary approaches, which can provide a vehicle for immediate innovative studies on coupled infrastructures, such as stochastic interdependence, cascading failures across systems, and the establishment of risk mitigation principles.The chapter entitled "Interdependencies between Energy and Transportation Systems for National Long Term Planning" proposes a modeling framework to perform long-term electric and transportation infrastructure design at a national Preface VI level, accounting for their interdependencies. The approach combines network flow modeling with a multiobjective solution method.The chapter entitled "A Framework for Assessing the Resilience of Infrastructure and Economic Systems" proposes a general framework for assessing the resilience of infrastructure and economic systems. The framework consists of three primary components: (1) a definition of resilience that is specific to infrastructure systems; (2) a quantitative model for measuring the resilience of systems to disruptive events through the evaluation of both impacts to system performance and the cost of recovery; and (3) a qualitative method for assessing the system properties that inherently determine system resilience.
