This article is devoted to the issue of how resources are interpreted in the form of technology reactors that, as a result of unexpected circumstances, turn into pyramidal or avalanche threat dynamics. Counteracting such catastrophic, terrorist, or war situations cannot begin in the face of mass casualties or significant material losses that will require reconstruction and the work of many generations. The decisive factor is the correct long-term operation and management of the economy. The starting point of this article is the concept of resource and structuralfunctional relationships of resources and all their possible interpretations consistent with the functionalities they play in the human environment, human aggregates, and whole nations. The aim is to draw the reader's attention to the importance (semiotics) of qualitative specifications and dynamically changing determinants contained in the material and structural-functional properties of the resources and their channel (information) communication.

“…The essence of the risk account in the decision spaces focuses on the integration of the event network with a multi-layer or hypergraph structure of objects connected through buffers. The mentioned elements of this integration are connected with each other by means of:  event forcing initiated on the external and internal buffers of potential p# objects in single-and multi-layer structures, as well as in hypergraph structures,  semantic analysis carried out using the paradigm of the characterization principle related to the semantic correctness 12 of p# CI objects.…”

Security in Topological, Functional and Semiotic Terms

The article is devoted to the modeling of object structures in sequences of event processes characteristic of critical infrastructure (CI) objects arising in emergency situations. The identification of risky sequences of events is a key issue carried out in topological, functional and semiotic terms. The topological approach includes flat, hierarchical and hypergraph - it is possible by means of transformations of equivalent models of the event network through its simplification to the form of a hypothesis or towards the desired functionality. The functionality approach covers theorizing and plural problems in the processes of the creation of a priori and aposteriorical errors of multiplication and synthesis on the basis of also incorrect graphical models of functioning. The semiotic approach captures combinatorically related functional and structural errors, which are impossible to identify and remove by means of arithmetic-logical tests. Currently, this is possible only on the basis of the paradigm of the characterization theory, which guarantees a semantic relationship between the correctness of the functioning and the structure of the analyzed versus the synthesized object of research.

“…The theory of fuzzy sets (Zadeh, 1965;Krupa, 1998), as well as rough set theory (Pawlak, 1991) and the theory of characterization (Gorbatov, 1979; Gorbatov, Krupa, 1984;Krupa, 2009a;Krupa, 2009b;Krupa, 2013) allow the use of vague concepts in the formulation of decision problems and finding their solutions.…”

Hierarchical Decision-Making Problems – Modeling and Solutions

2016

Self Cite

Article illustrates the state of the work conducted at the Faculty of Management Warsaw University of Technology on the issue of modeling hierarchical decision-making problems in the context of administrative and infrastructural conditions of the various forms of public safety. The aim is to develop a universal methodology of conduct for the management needs of the public administration, whose powers are focused on maintaining the continuity of the critical infrastructure of the State. The key issues covered by the article are: modeling of hierarchical issues and decision-making processes in the multi-layered organizational structures; harmonization of scales significance of decisionmaking areas with significance weights of elementary decisions in these decision areas; and a priori contradictions of elementary decisions from different decision areas and value assessments of taken problem decisions.
