TL;DR: The infrastructure of a society consists of facilities such as communications, power supplies, transportation, water supplies, and the stock of buildings as mentioned in this paper, which form the basis for most activities in a modern society and are of great importance for the economic prosperity.

Abstract: The infrastructure of a society consists of facilities such as communications, power supplies, transportation, water supplies, and the stock of buildings. In a broad definition of infrastructure, it is also possible to include basic societal functions like education, national defense, and financial and judicial systems. Here, the notion critical infrastructure will refer to the collection of large technical systems, for example electric power grids, which form the basis for most activities in a modern society, and are of great importance for the economic prosperity. Today, critical infrastructure protection is also considered to be a matter of national security.1

Edge-based graph neural network for ranking critical road segments in a network
Debasish Jana,Sven Malama,Sriram Narasimhan,Ertugrul Taciroglu +3 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a novel approach to rapidly identify critical and vital network components (road segments in a transportation network) for resilience improvement or post-disaster recovery and overcomes the computational overhead associated with the repeated calculation of network performance metrics, which can limit its use in large networks.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.
Statistical mechanics of complex networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.
Error and attack tolerance of complex networks
TL;DR: It is found that scale-free networks, which include the World-Wide Web, the Internet, social networks and cells, display an unexpected degree of robustness, the ability of their nodes to communicate being unaffected even by unrealistically high failure rates.

Error and attack tolerance of complex networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that error tolerance is not shared by all redundant systems, but it is displayed only by a class of inhomogeneously wired networks, called scale-free networks.

The Architecture of Complexity
Herbert A. Simon
- 01 Jan 1991
TL;DR: A number of proposals have been advanced in recent years for the development of “general systems theory” which, abstracting from properties peculiar to physical, biological, or social systems, would be applicable to all of them.
