Critical Infrastructures Protection (CIP) : contribution to EU research on resilience & preparedness

Critical Infrastructure (CI) Preparedness and Resilience modelling, simulation & analysis (MS&A) receive a strong interest from systems safety and risk management engineering and research communities. This technical and scientific interest responds to the rapid growth of the use of the smart technology in the modern society activities. The concept of resilience in CIP is not yet clearly defined. However, a probabilistic model is proposed describing the robustness and the resilience of a well-defined infrastructure facing a given threat.
