This grant provides funding for research on the standardization of system integration protocols for the purpose of simulating and managing civil infrastructure systems. This research studies the applicability of model integration standards that are based on the concept of component software architectures for modeling the integration of civil infrastructure systems. The project tasks focus on the design of a component-based modeling environment that is appropriate for modeling the integration of coupled urban infrastructure systems, and the application of the developed framework to evaluate a real-time flooding event using a case study system in Columbia, SC. The scientific questions addressed by this research include: (1) Are the component-based system integration concepts developed for integrating water resource models applicable for the representation of the integration of civil infrastructure systems? (2) What are the appropriate component interface and data exchange standards for integrating various modeling components representing civil infrastructure system? (3) Do simulations of integrated civil infrastructure lead to effective decisions for the management and operation of urban infrastructure systems? If successful, the results of this research will lead to improvements in our ability to manage large, complex urban infrastructure systems as an integrated system that improves their reliability, resiliency, and sustainability. This research work could have implications for both day to day operations of civil infrastructure systems, as well as their management during extreme events. In addition to the aforementioned research objectives, this grant will also provide funding to advance civil engineering education by incorporating ideas and concepts from systems analysis into the civil the engineering curriculum using an Environment For Fostering Effective Critical Thinking (EFFECTs) pedagogical structures.

这项拨款为模拟和管理民用基础设施系统的系统集成协议的标准化研究提供资金。本文研究了基于构件软件体系结构概念的模型集成标准在民用基础设施系统集成建模中的适用性。项目任务侧重于设计一个基于组件的建模环境，该环境适合于对耦合城市基础设施系统的集成进行建模，并将开发的框架应用于南卡罗来纳州哥伦比亚市的一个案例研究系统，以评估实时洪水事件。本研究解决的科学问题包括：(1)为水资源模型集成而开发的基于组件的系统集成概念是否适用于民用基础设施系统集成的表示？(2)集成代表民用基础设施系统的各种建模组件的合适组件接口和数据交换标准是什么？(3)综合民用基础设施的模拟能否为城市基础设施系统的管理和运营带来有效决策？如果成功的话，这项研究的结果将提高我们将大型复杂城市基础设施系统作为一个综合系统进行管理的能力，从而提高其可靠性、弹性和可持续性。这项研究工作可能对民用基础设施系统的日常运作以及在极端事件期间的管理产生影响。除了上述的研究目标外，这项拨款亦会提供资金，以推动土木工程教育，利用培养有效批判性思维的教学结构，将系统分析的思想和概念融入土木工程课程。
