Abstract

Abstract: Critical infrastructure protection is a complex field that involves using specific research methods, capturing the dynamic and complex reality in which infrastructure systems evolve. Modeling and simulation provides particular tools and approaches adapted to the field of critical infrastructure protection. A good knowledge of the methodology and using the appropriate tools can lead to improvements in the security of critical infrastructures. Creating models for infrastructures or systems facilitates research, followed by the simulation of potential events with a negative impact. The studies carried out at the intersection of the two fields open new research opportunities to improve the modeling and simulation tools and increase the resilience of critical infrastructures. The specific modeling and simulation methods find their applicability at the operator's or owners' activity for the elaboration of the security plans and their validation.
