Abstract: Critical infrastructures, such as electric power systems, water distribution networks, telecommunication networks, and transportation systems, provide the foundation on which communities are built and, when properly functioning, they enable economic growth and social well-being. As urbanization increases, critical infrastructures worldwide are expanding and are becoming more complex, more heterogeneous, more interdependent, and more susceptible to failures, breakdowns and malicious attacks. The problem of monitoring, control, management and security of critical infrastructures systems is becoming increasing more challenging and is an integral part of developing smart cities. This talk is providing an overview of current advances in intelligent critical infrastructure systems and some key tools and design methodologies based on information and communication technologies for making critical infrastructures more efficient, more sustainable and more secure.
