Improving Urban Networks Resilience by Transferring Security and Resilience Fundamentals Developed for IT

旨在通过将信息技术(IT)网络发展中发展的一些原理、知识和/或技术转移和应用到城市网络中来确定一种提高城市复原力的方法。目标*建立一个可理解的理论框架，其中包括：-表达明确的计算机安全和弹性的抽象基本原则。-确定适用于IT网络环境的弹性定义，并解释基本原则如何转化为其他学科。-判断哪些计算机安全原则可以应用，为什么以及如何使其基本原则具有普遍性。-找出IT网络和城市网络之间的主要差异；为什么会存在这些差异，以及一个网络如何帮助解决另一个网络上存在的问题。-评估衡量复原力的方法。解释选择指标的原因。-研究计算机科学以外的不同领域的复原力案例，评估主要基本概念的相似性*确定计算机科学之间的某些特定翻译(可能是一种技术)，以改善城市网络的复原力。*提高工程学领域对计算机科学中强大的概念化和推动信息技术的基本概念的适用性的认识。*在计算机科学中判断一种可以适用于改善城市网络弹性的特定技术。该项目打算回答哪些问题？是否可以通过将从信息技术(IT)网络的发展中学到的一些原理、知识和/或技术转移和应用到城市网络中来提高城市弹性？建议方法论在本研究中，我建议使用定性和定量相结合的方法，由于本课题的概念性性质，彻底强调理论框架是当务之急。1.理论框架方法论的初始阶段将花费大量时间探索相关文献。因此，编写主要的一般丛书的过程不能留到最后，而将从一开始就是一个持续的努力(附录A，总则)。在如何撰写论文方面已经取得了一些进展(附录C)。定量方法假设一旦完成了第三阶段，就会创建一个定量实验。关于可以做什么实验以及如何分析这些实验，已经取得了一些进展(附录C)。定性方法在定性方面，设想撰写一系列文章/出版物，以便能够参加会议，并能够与其他学者互动，并在可能的情况下表达他们的赞赏。我设想了至少6篇论文，其中一些是针对计算机科学和工程会议和期刊的。这篇文章可以纳入最终的论文大部头。

Aims Determine a way to improve urban resilience by transferring and applying some principles, knowledge and/or techniques developed from the development of Information Technology (IT) networks into urban networks. Objectives * Create a comprehensible theoretical framework that, among other things: - Express clear abstract underlying principles of computer security and resilience.- Determine a resilience definition applicable to the IT network context and explain how the underlying principles translate into other disciplines. - Judge what computer security principles could be applied, why and how their fundamentals would be universal. - Find main differences between IT Networks and urban networks; why those differences exist and how one could help to solve problems present on the other. - Assess a way to measure resilience. Explain reasons for the metrics to be chosen. - Study cases of resilience in different areas besides computer science and evaluate how the principal underlying concepts are similar * Determine some particular translation (possibly a technique) among computer science that could be fitted to improve urban network resilience. * Raise awareness among Engineering areas about the powerful conceptualisation available in Computer Science and the applicability of the underlying concepts that drive information technology. * Judge a particular technique among computer science that could be fitted to improve urban network resilience.What questions does the project intend to answer?Would it be possible to improve urban resilience by transferring and applying some principles, knowledge and/or techniques learnt from the development of Information Technology (IT) networks into urban networks? Proposed Methodology In this study, I propose to use a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods and, due to the conceptual nature of the subject, a thorough emphasis on the theoretical framework is a top priority. 1. Theoretical Framework Initial stages on the methodology will dedicate a significant amount of time into exploring related literature. As a consequence, the process of writing the main general tome cannot be left to the end and would be a continuous effort since the beginning (Appendix A, General Aspects). Some advances in how to write the dissertation have already taken place (Appendix C).2. Quantitative MethodsIt is assumed that once the stage three is achieved, a quantitative experiment would be created. Some advances about what kind of experiments could be done and how to analyse them have already taken place (Appendix C).3. Qualitative MethodsOn the qualitative front, it is envisioned to write a series of articles/publications that allows the participation in conferences and be able to interact with other academics and register their appreciation, if possible. I have envisioned at least 6 papers, some of them to be targeted at Computer Science and Engineering conferences and journals. This articles could be included into the final dissertation tome.
