Chapter Chapter 1 in Risk and Interdependencies in Critical Infrastructures, 2012, pp 1-11 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents methods for analysing interdependencies in critical infrastructures. In general, there are three groups of methods for analysing interdependencies; (1) conceptual, (2) model and simulation and (3) empirical and knowledge-based approaches. Examples of methods belonging to these groups are presented. The latter part of the chapter discusses challenges related to modelling, focusing on how to deal with complexity, trade-offs between abstraction and fidelity, choice of consequence measures and obtaining information.
