Project details

The Integrated Project "Integrated effect of uncertainty on objectives
[Click for more information]Risk Reduction of Information-based Infrastructure Systems" (IRRIIS) shall be carried out under the motto: Enhance substantially the dependability of LCCI's by introducing appropriate Middleware Improved Technology (MIT) components within the next 3 years.

IRRIIS will increase dependability, survivability and resilience of EU Information and Communication Technologies
[Click for more information]ICT-based critical infrastructures and has the objectives:

• to determine a sound set of public and private sector requirements based upon A scenario consists of a CI model, the initial states of all components and the scenario behaviour that describes the events that happen within the scenario.

• to design, develop, integrate and test MIT components suitable for preventing and limiting cascading
• effects and supporting automated recovery and service continuity in critical situations
• to develop, integrate, and validate novel and advanced Modelling denotes the action of designing and creating a conceptual model or a computational model or a CI model or a computer simulation. Other synonyms may apply as well.

• to validate the functions of the MIT-components using the synthetic environment and the results of the A scenario consists of a CI model, the initial states of all components and the scenario behaviour that describes the events that happen within the scenario.

The electrical power infrastructure and its supporting telecommunication infrastructure are chosen as first priority example test case. The IRRIIS approach is based on the analysis of vulnerabilities of Large Complex Critical Infrastructures (LCCI), LCCI person or organization that can affect, be affected by, or perceive themselves to be affected by a decision or activity

Novel ideas will be tested and validated by applying synthetic See computer simulation.
