A Safety Science focus on research in the science and technology of human and industrial
safety. Critical Infrastructures (CIs), as a crucial part of urban technological systems, are …

Purpose Critical infrastructures (CIs) are essential components of the built environment.
They ensure the interconnectivity and good operability of any major urban environment. CIs …

Infrastructure resilience is quite an emerging topic that has captured tremendous interest
among researchers and practitioners. Resilience of water distribution networks (WDNs) …

Water distribution network design is a complex multi-objective optimization problem and
multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) such as NSGA II have been widely used to …

Drinking water utilities are vulnerable to both human-caused and natural disasters that can
impact the system infrastructure and the delivery of potable water to consumers. Analyzing …

This paper shares a vision that sustainable water supply requires resilient water
infrastructures which are presumably in the centralized control and decentralized execution …

Translation of a system's performance goals into measurable quantities is fundamental for
water systems planning. Frequently, the selected metrics are the same threshold-based …

Occasional, random pipe bursts are inevitable in water distribution networks; thus, properly
operating isolation valves is critical. During a shutdown, the damaged segment is …

This study advocates establishing an indicator system for Critical Infrastructures (CIs)
resilience assessment to ensure consistency and comparability in future endeavors …

The use of performance indicator systems is essential to evaluate the performance of water
supply systems. They allow the quantification of the goals and objectives for service …
