Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience Literature Survey: Modeling and Simulation
Abstract
Defence R and D Canadas Centre for Security Science (CSS) is working in partnership with Public SafetyCanada (PS) on a long term objective to develop an integrated national and regional CriticalInfrastructure (CI) Dependency model for CI risk analysis and risk mitigation in support of the 2010National Critical Infrastructure Strategy. To frame discussions and serve as a starting point, CSS hasrequested NRC Knowledge Management to perform an exploratory study of existing scientific, industrialand government (domestic/international) literature on critical infrastructure protection and resilience(CIPR) and related concepts; including, but not limited to, CI interdependencies as well as modeling andsimulation tools.This report focuses on modeling and simulation tools and trends. In all, 2,151 publications, including asub dataset of 633 publications specifically focused on interdependency modeling and simulation, wereretrieved and analyzed using text mining software and a variety of visualization tools to identify trendsin the literature and key players. Additionally a listing of 113 tools found in the dataset are alsoprovided, among which 82 tools focused on interdependency modeling or simulation, 18 focused onregional or local modeling or simulation, and 13 focused on government/business continuity modelingand simulation with some repeats between groups. Government/business continuity tools are usedmost frequently to model and simulate CIPR in the Energy and Utilities and Water sectors.
