Preface
In 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 Researc
