Community Resilience Considering Interdependence of Innovation Ecosystem and Physical Infrastructures PI: Saurabh Bagchi (ECE, Engineering) Co-PIs: Jitesh Panchal, Nadia Gkritza (Engineering), Ananth Iyer (Management), Tara Grillos (Political Science), Bruno Ribeiro (Computer Science), Roberto Gallardo (PCRD)

Problem Statement • We need some foundational methods to analyze the propagation of disruptions between the innovation ecosystem and physical infrastructures • We need some modeling and simulation tools to answer what-if questions for various kinds of disruptions (natural or man-made) Components of proposed project currently funded through: WHIN (Io. T resilience), ARL (battlefield resilience), Sandia (embedded system security), Northrop Grumman (ML security)

Workflow

Sample Interdependency between Infrastructures

Problem Context • The innovation ecosystem forms the backbone of the US economy, and is essential for sustainable growth • The innovation ecosystem relies heavily on physical infrastructures, including transportation, power, and water infrastructures • Development of the built infrastructure depends on the needs and success of innovation ecosystems • Long-term changes: Social and environmental How do we factor in resilience to design, build, • Mid-term changes: Technological ororretire physical and innovation • operate, Short-term rehabilitate changes: Natural man-made disruptions infrastructures

Goals of Project 1. Examine the nature of the interdependencies at different timescales between the innovation ecosystem and the physical infrastructure • Focused physical infrastructures: Advanced manufacturing, Transportation, and Supply chain 2. Develop mechanisms to enhance the resilience of these interdependent system-of-systems through learning from observations and network-based modeling • Focus on technological and sustainability aspects 3. Explore the benefit of deployment of new sensors across the infrastructure to re-plan in the face of emerging scenarios • Pragmatic focus considering cost of deployment of new sensors

Deliverables: Ongoing and Completed 1. Network modeling of critical infrastructures 2. Online algorithms for planning and responding 3. Integration into a usable Modeling & Simulation environment 4. Failure injection toolkit 5. Policies for sustainable resilience
