Objectives

ILIas is developed for protecting critical infrastructures, especially in the areas of power provisioning and telecommunication services for the public. These solutions have to be scalable and have to combine quick automated reactions with manual control for correct decisions in high impact infrastructure systems. Simulations have to provide the foundation of analytical data that provides the basis for the development of intelligent power grid and telecommunication network management concepts.

Approach

In order to achieve the objectives a service based multi-agent architecture is employed. This flexible peer to peer based distributed management system provides a robust and fault tolerant foundation for functionalities like network analysis and ensures availability of relevant data, as well as system control in different failure scenarios.

Realization

— Simulation of telecommunication networks and power grids based on real structures in the Berlin Brandenburg area 

— Implementation of a federated simulation environment for dependency research 

— Multi-agent system for the management of minimum infrastructure services in face of critical failures

RUN-TIME

From 01.09.2010 to 31.08.2012

KEYWORDS

Protection of critical infrastructures, simulation of telecommunication and power provisioning networks, reliability on cascade effects
