Inference, control and protection of interdependent spatial networked structures

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Networked structures are everywhere and modern societies largely depend on their proper functioning. Some of these networks are spatial with each node having a geographical tag. Examples include power grids, the internet and transportation networks. These networks are often interdependent where their functioning depends on each other. This project will establish a mathematical framework to efficiently observe and control interdependent spatial networks and develop design strategies in order to maximise residency of spatial networks against catastrophic failures in their components. The outcomes of the project will protect the Australian power grid and transportation networks against random and intentional failures.
