Workshop on Mitigating the Vulnerability of Critical Infrastructures to Catastrophic FailuresCritical infrastructures form the backbone of the economies of both the developed and the developing countries throughout the world. They include electric power networks, fuel networks, water networks, transportation networks, telecommunications networks, and computer networks to cite a few. Assessing and mitigating their vulnerability to catastrophic failures call for the development of a new body of knowledge that integrates in a unified manner and builds on concepts and methodologies pertaining to many engineering and scientific fields. Interdependencies between critical infrastructures were addressed by the OSTP/NSF workshop held in June 2001, which was entitled "Critical Infrastructures: Needs in Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Training." While this workshop highlighted the need of multi-disciplinary research work in critical infrastructure protection, major failures in electric power systems, telecommunications networks, and computer networks were not discussed and analyzed. This is the focus of the workshop that will be held at the Lyceum, in Alexandria, Virginia, on September 10-11, 2001, under the joint patronage of the National Science Foundation (NSF), the International Institute for Critical National Infrastructures (CRIS), the World Institute for Disaster Risk Management (DRM), and the International Institute for Information Technology (IIIT). This workshop will bring together about forty experts in critical infrastructures and disaster risk management from North America, Europe, and Asia. It will give them the opportunity to discuss various emerging concepts such as hidden failure, vulnerability, cascading failure, interdependency, risk assessment, and self-healing, among others, and identify research topics aimed at laying out the foundation of a new field of expertise dealing with the vulnerability of interdependent critical infrastructures. Key speakers will be invited to give presentations and to submit position papers. Proceedings will be issued in an electronic form and posted on several web sites that are popular among researchers and engineers of the critical infrastructure and disaster risk management communities.

关于减轻关键基础设施对灾难性失败关键基础设施的脆弱性的研讨会构成了发达国家和发展中国家经济体的骨干。 它们包括电力网络，燃油网络，水网络，运输网络，电信网络和计算机网络引用一些。评估和减轻他们对灾难性失败的脆弱性要求发展一种新知识，这些知识以统一的方式整合，并以与许多工程和科学领域有关的概念和方法为基础。 2001年6月举行的OSTP/NSF研讨会解决了关键基础设施之间的相互依存关系，该研讨会的标题为“关键基础设施：跨学科研究和研究生培训的需求”。 虽然该研讨会强调了在关键基础设施保护方面需要多学科研究工作，但没有讨论和分析电力系统，电信网络和计算机网络的重大故障。 这是将于2001年9月10日至11日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市的Lyceum举行的研讨会的重点，在国家科学基金会（NSF）的联合赞助下，国际关键国家基础设施（CRIS），世界灾难风险管理研究所，国际关键国家基础设施研究所（CRIS），国际信息技术研究所和国际信息技术研究所（IIIT）。 该研讨会将汇集来自北美，欧洲和亚洲关键基础设施和灾难风险管理方面的40名专家。 这将使他们有机会讨论各种新兴概念，例如隐藏的失败，脆弱性，级联失败，相互依存性，风险评估和自我修订等，并确定旨在奠定了旨在阐明涉及相互依存关键基础结构脆弱性的新专业领域的研究主题。 将邀请主要发言人进行演讲并提交职位论文。 诉讼将以电子形式发布，并发布在几个网站上，这些网站在关键基础设施和灾害风险管理社区的研究人员和工程师中很受欢迎。
