“…The research is motivated by the creation of the CI sectors, which are described by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (Department of Homeland Security, 2014), as well as the need to strengthen and secure the nation's CI resources, as described in Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 21 (President, 2013). The need to perform such analysis that focuses on the interdependencies of the resources stems from systems becoming more interlinked and dependent on each other, described by Balducelli et al (2007). This will motivate the needs to evaluate both the directionality and impact of the interdependencies.…”

Modeling and Analyzing the Emergency Management Mission as an Executable Model

The Emergency Management (EM) mission requires that responders are able to successfully complete their mission, as well as rely on multiple Critical Infrastructure (CI) sectors to facilitate the execution of their missions. However, decision makers may not be able to visualize the interdependencies between these CI sectors and the EM mission, only seeing the end result of the mission. This near‐sightedness of the CI interdependencies may incorrectly lead decision makers to allocate resources on single CI sectors without realizing that attention to multiple CI sectors are needed. Without a means of analysis to quantify this contribution, decision makers may not have the full picture of what CI sectors contribute to the EM mission and may not understand where the EM mission chain fails due to this lack of resources. We offer a methodology for the EM mission to be modeled along with their respective CI sector contributions, in order to visualize where parts of the mission may be failing due to a deficiency in the CI sector contribution. This methodology converts the mission space into an executable model that may view where the mission succeeds and where the mission may be deficient. An illustrative example is used to describe the methodology.

“…The latter, incorporating the traditional risk and reliability importance measures, defined criticality as the combination of probability and importance (risk contribution) (Jenelius et al, 2006; van der Borst and Schoonakker, 2001). With the presentation of the difficulty of determining probabilities that terrorists would actually exploit a given vulnerability, vulnerability analysis has recently shown a special focus on critical infrastructures (Gheorghe et al, 2006;Johnson, 2007;Patterson and Apostolakis, 2007;Balducelli et al, 2007). However, care has to be taken when using vulnerability alone as a criticality parameter given that it might significantly vary with initiating events (i.e.…”

Maritime security assessment is moving toward a proactive risk-based regime. This opens the way for security analysts and managers to explore and exploit flexible and advanced risk modelling and decision making approaches in maritime transport. In this article, following a review of maritime security risk assessment, a generic quantitative security assessment methodology is developed. Novel mathematical models for security risk analysis and management are outlined and integrated together to demonstrate their use in the developed framework. Such approaches may be used to facilitate security risk modelling and decision making in situations where conventional quantitative risk analysis techniques cannot be appropriately applied. Finally, recommendations on further exploitation of advances in risk and uncertainty modelling technology are suggested with respect to maritime security risk quantification and management.

The critical infrastructures (CIs) on which our daily life depends are mutually interdependent. What happens to one infrastructure can directly or indirectly affect another infrastructure or maybe even more. The development of advanced techniques of modeling and simulation is significant for the interdependencies study between CIs. In this paper, an approach to model critical infrastructures as well as adopting HLA (High Level Architecture) standard to simulate the interoperations between individual models under system-of-systems design architecture is proposed. Two examples of interdependent systems (CIs), which are studied in this approach, are : Electric Power Supply (EPS) System and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System.
