The proposed research seeks to extend the theory and implementation of mathematical models that can help design infrastructure systems that are resilient to attacks by weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). Such models include (i) attacker-defender (AD) models for identifying vulnerabilities in a system and (ii) defender-attacker-defender (DAD) models for designing a system that is resilient to attack, or designing defenses that enhance a system鈥檚 resilience. The project involves contributions from both the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) and the 51福利 (51福利).  Both the 51福利 and the UTA will benefit by advancing the computational techniques that improve the study of system resilience and potential defenses that enhance a system鈥檚 resilience.  At the conclusion of the agreement, both 51福利 and UTA will have gained substantial knowledge on broad techniques that apply to electric power grids and systems dependent on power grids. Previous collaborative efforts between UTA and 51福利 have developed a series of AD and DAD optimization models for a single infrastructure system.
