Critical Infrastructures

A mainstay of national economy, security and well-being. • A collection of components (e.g. a fire house,

a human operator, an information display)…

• But also an ecosystem of those components-- interconnected and interdependent---

• Organized in processes that deliver services to meet societal needs.

Critical Infrastructures are…

• Evolving, as new technologies come on-line; • Deteriorating, as physical components age; • Operating at or near design limits; • Interdependent, in that two or more infrastructures

require each others’ service to function; • Subject to a variety of risks and hazards over various

spatial and temporal scales; and • Producing and consuming an ever-broader range and

volume of data.

 

 

 

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on ICIs

• Mitigating failure and engineering recovery processes in ICIs.

• Understanding computational foundations and opportunities for cyber-based control and adaptation of ICIs.

• Examining relationships between engineering, cyber and social, behavioral and related phenomena.

9

 

 

   

Summary

• Integrated, multidisciplinary perspectives to provide insights on

• design, operation, prediction of ICI systems and processes

• under normal through extraordinary conditions • In order to ensure economic and societal well

being.

CRISP Program Goals

1. Foster interdisciplinary research community; 2. Enhance understanding/design of ICIs and processes under

disruptions from any cause; 3. Create knowledge for innovation in ICIs to safely, securely,

and effectively expand range of goods and services they enable; and

4. Improve ICI performance in the delivery of goods and services.

 

 

 

 

 

CRISP Research Objectives

1. Create new knowledge, approaches, solutions to increase resilience, performance, readiness in ICIs

2. Create theoretical frameworks/multidisciplinary models ofICIs, processes and services for prediction of complex behaviors

3. Develop frameworks to understand interdependencies created by interactions between physical, cyber, social,behavioral and economic elements of ICIs

4. Understand organizational, social, psychological, legal,economic, technical obstacles and enablers to improving ICIs

5. Undertake creation, curation or use of publicly accessible data on ICIs

Tips

• Check the FAQ via the solicitation. • Check RIPS/CRISP prior awards and results. • CRISP is a interdisciplinary program with

multidisciplinary panels. • Integrative interdisciplinary proposals

review better than minimally coupledmultidisciplinary proposals.

• Improving resilience may or may not involve adisaster-specific perspective.

• Reach out to CRISP PDs with questions. 22
