Tensor factorization in civil infrastructure systems
… huge amounts of data generated from civil infrastructure systems. The conventional approach for analyzing structured data of this nature is to impose a matrix- structure on the data before analysis is done. Analysis tasks may include classification, clustering, regression and exploratory …

The Design of Resilient Engineering Infrastructure Systems
… emerged from a number of domains to address how systems, people as well as organisations can handle uncertainty and thereby not only survive hardship, but also thrive and prosper. This is of particular importance for engineering infrastructure systems which, due to the inherently long lifecycles …

Prioritized Reconfiguration of Interdependent Critical Infrastructure Systems
… of reconfiguration for restoration in critical infrastructure systems, with regard for the prioritization of those systems and the relationships between them. The complexity of the reconfiguration problem is demonstrated, and previous efforts to present solutions to the problem are discussed. …

Strategic intent and the management of infrastructure systems
Infrastructure is presenting significant national and global challenges. Whilst often seen as performing well, infrastructure tends to do so against only limited terms of reference and short-term objectives. Given that the world is facing a new infrastructure bill of ~£40T, improving the benefits …

Interoperable simulation gaming for strategic infrastructure systems design
Infrastructure systems are large physical networks of interrelated components which produce and distribute resources to meet societal needs. Meeting future sustainability objectives may require more complex systems with stronger integration across sectors and improved collaboration among …

Characterizing the Dynamics of Vulnerability for Roadway Infrastructure Systems
Critical infrastructure systems, such as transportation, energy, water and communication, are the backbones of sustainable economic and social development. The tragedies and catastrophic events in the past few years have motivated researchers to study the vulnerability of infrastructure systems to …

Publish-subscribe based middleware for heterogeneous critical infrastructure systems communication.
Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are physical assets and organizations responsible for the production and distribution of society’s vital goods and services. The increasing interconnection of CIs has resulted in interdependencies which effect the propagation of failure from one infrastructure to …

Screening vulnerabilities in water supply networks : risk analysis of infrastructure systems
The extreme importance of critical infrastructures to modern society is widely known. Recognizing that society cannot afford the costs associated with absolute protection, it is necessary to prioritize the vulnerabilities in these infrastructures. This Thesis presents a methodology for the …

Predicting Flood Risks to City Infrastructure Systems Utilizing Scalable, Time Sensitive Modeling
… and do not address the risks to various city systems beyond building damage. As a result, the contribution of pluvial floods to overall flood risks is underestimated, compromising infrastructure resilience. As flood model results are a critical component in flood risk assessments, the accuracy …

Risk-based Renewal Prioritization Models (RPM) for Potable Water Pipeline Infrastructure Systems
Water pipelines are critical infrastructure assets buried across the United States, responsible for delivering safe drinking water at adequate pressures from source to customers. A majority of these pipelines were installed in the mid-twentieth century without adequate financial planning for future …
