A modeling framework for the resilience analysis of networked systems-of-systems based on functional dependencies

Technology-related disasters: A survey towards disaster-resilient Software Defined Networks

“…A method towards resilience analysis of networked systems-of-systems is proposed in [17] by Filippini and Silva, i.e., a modeling framework for the resilient analysis of networked systems-of-systems based on functional dependencies. The originality of that research work is concentrated mostly in the modeling and analysis of complex and heterogeneous systems.…”

Quantitative Model and Metrics of Electrical Grids’ Resilience Evaluated at a Power Distribution Level

“…Broader definitions may consider different aspects, views or approaches. As a first approach, the definition of resilience is expanded by also considering withstanding capability to the event-causing disruptions, as is considered in [4,9,10]. Other works on resilience of systems in general consider other aspects, such as [2], which indicates that resilience includes at least two of the following three characteristics: avoidance, survival and recovery; or [6], which considers robustness, rebound, adaptation and graceful extensibility as the four characteristics of resilience.…”

“…Other past works considering the influence of humans on resilience are [3][4][5]7,13], which is also an aspect included in the proposed resilience framework. Several of these works, such as [8,9,11,12,14], also discuss the effect of dependencies, but none of these papers identify two key notions presented herein: the important role of storage as interface buffers limiting the propagation of failures and a mathematical relationship that explicitly shows and measures how dependencies affect resilience. Other potential concerns in these past works are that some, e.g., [3,7], still lack a quantitative approach or have models that are extremely complicated or abstract, which are difficult to apply in a real setting [4].…”

A framework for designing resilient distributed intrusion detection systems for critical infrastructures

“…As a result of these threats, securing current and future critical infrastructure assets has become an extremely high priority [9,12,13]. A significant body of research has focused on understanding the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructures and, more specifically, evaluating and quantifying the security risks of critical infrastructure assets [8,22].…”
