Titel
Information sharing and decision support for C(I)IP
Abstract
Interdependencies among the elements of national and transnational critical infrastructures necessitate coordination and cooperation among infrastructure operators as well as with government. At the same time this need to share is contrasted with the sensitivity of information that can cause severe harm if exposed. Using a standards-based platform for information sharing and fine-grained and provably secure access controls provides the ability to cross-link infrastructure operators and geographically dispersed organizational units within individual infrastructure operator organizations as needed using a common cognitive model that can support both topographical and topological visualization mechanisms, particularly using geographical information systems as a foundation.
