Inoperability Input-Output Model for Interdependent Infrastructure Sectors. I: Theory and Methodology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper discusses the theory and methodology supporting the development of the inoperability input-output model (IIM). The IIM is based on Leontief’s input-output model, which characterizes interdependencies among sectors ...
Inoperability Input-Output Model for Interdependent Infrastructure Sectors. II: Case Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper discusses case studies of the inoperability input-output model (IIM) for modeling impacts of willful attacks on interdependent sectors. The IIM is a model for assessing sector vulnerabilities using the inoperability ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper reviews needs and opportunities to reduce the vulnerability of public water systems to willful attack. Water supply infrastructure systems, and their components are described in general. The terrorist threat is ...
Leontief-Based Model of Risk in Complex Interconnected Infrastructures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wassily Leontief received the 1973 Nobel Price in Economics for developing what came to be known as the Leontief input-output model of the economy. Leontief's model enables understanding the interconnectedness among the ...
