Modelling and assessing the resilience of interdependent critical infrastructures – METRI-KIT

Critical infrastructures underpin the functioning of every society. Their interdependence amplifies and complexifies the repercussions of the interruption or disruption of their essential services. The METRI-KIT project aims to assess the resilience and robustness of a territory by analyzing its critical infrastructures and their interdependencies, whatever their nature and the type of disruption they face. Three independent case studies and one realistic case study will be developed as part of the project. These will be used to design and develop the METRI-KIT POC (proof of concept), using an iterative approach based on five scientific seminars and three steering committees. Six outputs are expected: (i) two state-of-the-art; (ii) a realistic case study; (iii) a generic metamodel for modeling the functions, context, and behavior of interdependent critical infrastructures; (iv) a language model to automatically instantiate the metamodel from business documents; (v) the resilience and robustness assessment algorithm; and (vi) the suite (r-iosuite.com). The ambition of the project is to evolve towards a configurable open-source platform dedicated to the comprehension and diagnostic of a critical infrastrutcure, or a territory and its interdependant critical infrastructures.
