DIESIS main objectives

• To establish the basis for a European modelling and simulation e-Infrastructure called EISAC byperforming a design study

• To demonstrate

• a technical proof-of-concept

• a business proof-of-concept

EISAC = European Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Centre

DIESIS Presentation 6

DIESIS: Technical proof of concept

• Coupling three infrastructure simulators using DIESIS concepts

­ QoS based communication protocols

­ federated simulation bridges

­ semantically interoperable federation

• Federate simulation bridges

­ modelling dependencies

­ dynamic coupling of simulators at runtime

­ time synchronisation

DIESIS Ontology paradigm

• The objective is to design and develop a Knowledge Base System (KBS) based on the ontological formalism that will:

­enable the dynamic binding among different Critical Infrastructures (CI) simulator models;

­provide the possibility to discover (inter)dependencies among different CIs;

­allow CIs vulnerability & risk analysis.

The DIESIS KBS

The DIESIS KBS

• The main KBS components are:

­ the Meta Knowledge ONTology (MKIONT);

­ the Federation ONTology (FONT);

­the Infrastructure ONTology (IONT);

­the Gateways that are located between the DIESIS middleware and the simulators:

• Simulator Model;

• Associative Table.

Conclusion

• DIESIS is a twofold design study for the EISAC, consisting of

­ technical proof-of-concept

­ “business case” / business proof-of-concept

• The proposed EISAC should serve as a platform for joint CIP research

DIESIS Presentation 17

Conclusion (2)

• Benefits

­ cost reductions for setting up CI simulator federations

• re-use of existing simulators and models

• provision of validated data and databases

• standards for interoperability

­ additional benefits

• know-how in set-up and running federated CI simulations

• management and analysis tools

• M&S on CI community building

• more …
