Scalable Light-Weight Peer-to-Peer Risk Communication Framework for Critical Infrastructures Management

摘要

Critical infrastructures are growing in scale and complexity and are becoming increasingly interdependent on one-another. This paper argues that existing centralized methods in monitoring and management are unlikely to be sustainable as this trend continues. To address this challenge, this paper presents a complementary model of critical infrastructure monitoring, management and inter-infrastructure communication. The model leverages the advantages of a distributed peer-to-peer method of communication amongst artifacts within infrastructures to provide a scalable, flexible and light-weight means of communication, interaction, and awareness.
