Workshop Focus
The complex nature of interdependent, heterogeneous, dynamically evolving
networks characterizing modern critical infrastructure is exacerbated by
uncertainty of potential component failures that must be addressed in
realistic mathematical models.
The workshop participants will discuss
recent progress and will seek to identify most promising future research
directions on the following topics:
- Mathematical models describing structures that characterize the network's robustness and vulnerability to an attack.
- Probability-based risk measures characterizing a network’s vulnerability to edge/node failures
- Exact, approximate, and heuristic algorithms for designing minimum cost robust network topologies and for detecting robust structures of interest in networks.
- Mathematical models and algorithms for identification of critical network components.
- Optimization techniques to restrict and control the damages and losses associated with various risk factors that affect the operations of interdependent networked systems.
- Case studies with large-scale real-life transportation, communication, and energy networks.
