NISAC Sample Clauses

NISAC. In the US the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC) has developed capacities for modelling infrastructure interdependencies to help anticipate and deal with cascading infrastructure effects. Individual infrastructures are each defined by a number of components and their interdependencies are modelled as a complex system of systems. The developed tools include process-based systems dynamic models, mathematical network optimization models, physics-based models of existing infrastructure, and high-fidelity agent- based simulations of systems23. By projecting impacts and threats, the tools can provide decision support in the face of threats emerging in real time such as major hurricanes. The tools can also compare their predicted impacts with actual effects and learn from the discrepancies to improve analytical capacities through time. This has led to significant improvement in the accuracy of model depictions of interdependencies (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2012).
