Cyber Security Incidents On Critical Infrastructure And Industrial Networks, Robert Ighodaro Ogie
Cyber Security Incidents On Critical Infrastructure And Industrial Networks, Robert Ighodaro Ogie
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
National critical infrastructure and industrial processes are heavily reliant on automation, monitoring and control technologies, including the widely used Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The growing interconnection of these systems with corporate networks exposes them to cyber attacks, with several security incidents reported over the last few decades. This study provides a classification scheme for categorising security incidents related to critical infrastructure and industrial control systems. The classification scheme is applied to analyse 242 security incidents on critical infrastructure and industrial control networks, which were reported between 1982 and 2014. The results show interesting patterns, with key points …
Impact Of Next Generation Infrastructure On Australian Cities, Joseph J. Branigan, Fariba Ramezani Khansari
Impact Of Next Generation Infrastructure On Australian Cities, Joseph J. Branigan, Fariba Ramezani Khansari
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
The quality of the physical infrastructure in our major cities is just as critical as human capital development in terms of driving long-run growth in productivity and rising living standards. The provision of high-quality and reliable infrastructure network services (like roads, rail and telecommunications) can have significant social, environmental and economic payoffs. Notwithstanding the obvious intuitive connection between infrastructure investment and economic growth, the link between the two is still debated. One reason is that not all infrastructure investment supports growth over the long-term. Building a road or rail line that is not used for instance lowers productivity and economic …

Assessing Infrastructure System Of Systems Integrity, Ricardo Peculis, Farid Shirvani, Pascal Perez
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
Infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function. Infrastructure systems typically consist of interrelated constituent systems forming what is known as system of systems (SoS). Infrastructure systems present numerous challenges throughout their lifecycles. This paper addresses one of these challenges that is presented during operation, when managers need to report 'how well' the system is performing and finding ways to address the consequences of unexpected events that often degrade the intended performance. This state of system 'wellbeing' will be referred as system integrity …
Coping With Social Complexity Of Infrastructure Projects, Ricardo Peculis
Coping With Social Complexity Of Infrastructure Projects, Ricardo Peculis
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
Infrastructure projects are complex and technical complexity is dwarfed when compared with the social complexity caused by the interaction of individuals and organisations that participate and influence these projects. During conception and planning, uncertainty and conflicting motivations influence decisions that drive the solution and plans that are carried out during construction, operation and finally disposal of the system. If the need is not accurately conveyed and the solution is not properly defined, estimated and planned, infrastructure projects become subject of costs overrun and schedule delays of serious consequences, including the possibility that they may not satisfy the real need. Understanding …

Infrastructure System Of Systems Integrity, Ricardo Peculis, Farid Shirvani
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
Infrastructure systems typically consist of technical structures comprising of physical and operational components of interrelated constituent systems forming what is now known as system of systems (SOS). The complexity and uncertainty of unforeseen events that are inherent characteristic of infrastructure systems makes it impossible to predict undesirable emergent behaviours that could push the operation of such systems away from their intended purposes. Infrastructure systems present numerous challenges throughout their lifecycles. This paper addresses one of these challenges that is presented during operation, when managers need to report 'how well' the system is performing and find ways to address the consequences …
Co2 Pipeline Infrastructure - Lessons Learnt, Paul Noothout, Frank Wiersma, Omar Hurtado, Doug Macdonald, Jasmin Kemper, Klaas Van Alphen
Co2 Pipeline Infrastructure - Lessons Learnt, Paul Noothout, Frank Wiersma, Omar Hurtado, Doug Macdonald, Jasmin Kemper, Klaas Van Alphen
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
Some 6,500 km of CO2 pipelines have been operating for years for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations, primarily in the United States. Moreover, there are a number of CO2 pipelines that are in use for CO2 utilization (CCU) or Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) operations in Europe and the Americas. Valuable experience and lessons learned are available from these projects relevant for all phases of CO2 pipeline projects: from early identification to execution and operation. A comprehensive set of information has been collected, evaluated and made accessible with the aim to benefit the development of future CO2 pipelines. The resulting …

The ability to collect data using sensor-based technologies is increasing within a public technical means. As governments in rapidly-urbanising developing nations seek to address the climatic, social and economic challenges of the 21st century, there is a progressive requirement to map and articulate civil infrastructure. When a local government needs to proactively react to impending and disruptive phenomena they increasingly look to data and technology to help them manage and respond accordingly. Mobile social media, in a citizens-as-sensors paradigm, offers the potential to collect data with which to advance our capacity to understand and promote resilience of cities to both …
Modelling And Data Frameworks For Understanding Infrastructure Systems Throuh A Systems-Of-Systems Lens, Matthew J. Berryman, Rohan Wickramasuriya, Vu Lam Cao, Pascal Perez
Modelling And Data Frameworks For Understanding Infrastructure Systems Throuh A Systems-Of-Systems Lens, Matthew J. Berryman, Rohan Wickramasuriya, Vu Lam Cao, Pascal Perez
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
Modelling and analysis of large systems of infrastructure systems carries with it a number of challenges, in particular around the volume of data and the requisite complexity (and thus computing resources required) of models. In this paper we present an integrated land use–transportation model of a region in Sydney, and detail how we integrated an agent-based model of location and transport choice with a traffic micro-simulator. We also discuss both some novel architectures for scalability of modelling as well as for fusion and relevant visualisation of large data sets. We have a particular focus on geospatial infrastructure data visualisation.

Business Intelligence (BI) has traditionally been used in organizations as a strategic tool to maximize profit. When coupled with Geographic Information Systems, however, BI can be transformed into a cutting edge decision support system for planning local and regional areas, as we demonstrate in this paper. Local and regional governments often face a major challenge in terms of developing a holistic view upon disjointedly operated utility services in their jurisdictions due to data silos. This limitation has become a serious impediment to infrastructure planning and regional adaptation to changes. Geo-BI provides tools to manage data coming from multiple and disparate …

This report to the parliamentary inquiry addresses the use of land development for integrated infrastructure corridors and considers improvement to policy development, planning and strategies to achieve greater productivity, enhanced liveability and improved economic benefit through informed decision making. In considering rail corridor usage long term it is essential to support the needs of society through decision making that is underpinned by proper analysis and longer term modelling. In order to ensure any proposed interventions represent a step forward with respect to competiveness of the transport system, the liveability for affected residence and customers and the overall resilience to unexpected …
