- Critical infrastructure (CI) design,/protection/management
- Emerging systemic risks: policy, standards and regulations
- Institutional design, market structuring, network regulation
- Risk/vulnerability/resilience based decision-making
- Risk/vulnerability criteria development for assessing robustness
- Governance models/policy instruments in liberalised markets
- System dynamic behaviour
- Vulnerability/resilience economics; behaviour of interdependent CIs
- Cyber security and CI protection
- Stakeholder interactions and trust building
- Advanced control engineering concepts/ICTs in complex networks
- Cross-border interconnections, international harmonisation
- Global CIs; geopolitical risk assessment
- Threat identification/assessment/monitoring models/techniques
- Next generation intelligent infrastructures
Objectives
IJCIS aims to provide an authoritative source of information and an unique international forum in the field of Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and Management of Vital Societal Systems exposed to antropogenic and natural threats. It intends to establish channels of communication and to disseminate the best practice, knowledge and state of the art science, and stakeholders involvement between policy makers, practitioners, researchers and academia working in the field.
Readership
Professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers.
Contents
IJCIS publishes: original papers, review papers; case studies; conference reports; briefs and reports and news; book review and notes. To encourage young students, at undergraduate and graduate levels, the Student Section will be open for the first time as a platform for the future specialists to promote new and fresh ideas and projects into the internationally reviewed literature. Commentaries on papers and reports published in the Journal are encouraged. Special Issues devoted to important topics in risk assessment and vulnerability management of vital systems/ critical infrastructures and related topics, will be published occasionally.
