Vulnerable Systems

The Safe Management Of The Complex Distributed Systems And Critical Infrastructures Which Constitute The Backbone Of Modern Industry And Society Entails Identifying And Quantifying Their Vulnerabilities To Design Adequate Protection, Mitigation, And Emergency Action Against Failure. In Practice, There Is No Fail-safe Solution To Such Problems And Various Frameworks Are Being Proposed To Effectively Integrate Different Methods Of Complex Systems Analysis In A Problem-driven Approach To Their Solution. Vulnerable Systems Reflects The Current State Of Knowledge On The Procedures Which Are Being Put Forward For The Risk And Vulnerability Analysis Of Critical Infrastructures.
