Description:
| The MICIE project, being in line with EU initiative to establish a The European Council Directive 2008/114/EC defines: ‘Critical infrastructure’ (CI) means an asset, system or part thereof located in Member States which is essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions, health, safety, security, economic.. [Click for more information]Critical Infrastructure Warning Information Network (CIWIN), will design and implement a so-called "MICIE alerting system" that identifies, in real time, the level of possible threats induced on a given See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI by "undesired" events happened in such See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI and/or other interdependent CIs. In particular, whenever such events occur, the MICIE alerting system will support the See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI operators providing them with a real time effect of uncertainty on objectives [Click for more information]risk level (e.g. expressed in a chromatic scale such as white, green, yellow, orange, red).
The alarm conditions will be evaluated by means of an on-line prediction tool making use of properly designed abstract See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI models feeded with aggregated metadata describing the See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI status.
The See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI See conceptual model [Click for more information]model will make use of hierarchical 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. [Click for more information]modelling in order to evaluate the "level of interdependency" existing among the different CIs, which will be characterized through proper ?thresholds? values. The See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI See conceptual model [Click for more information]model will also include the identification and the formalization of proper "metadata" suitable for describing the See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI status, according to a "CI independent" approach which, as far as possible, leaves out of consideration the See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI peculiarities.
The MICIE alerting system will also include a proper discovery, communication and composition infrastructure able to operate in an heterogeneous See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI framework, aiming at discovering the "sensible" data in the different CIs, at translating them in See critical infrastructure [Click for more information]CI-independent metadata, at transporting them via a secure and available communication network and at aggregating them by means of properly defined composition rules. |
