DIESIS main objectives

• To establish the basis for a European modelling
  and simulation e-Infrastructure called EISAC
  byperforming a design study
• To demonstrate
• a technical proof-of-concept
• a business proof-of-concept
• EISAC European Infrastructure Simulation and
  Analysis Centre

DIESIS Technical proof of concept

• Coupling three infrastructure simulators using
  DIESIS concepts
• QoS based communication protocols
• federated simulation bridges
• semantically interoperable federation
• Federate simulation bridges
• modelling dependencies
• dynamic coupling of simulators at runtime
• time synchronisation

DIESIS Ontology paradigm

• The objective is to design and develop a
  Knowledge Base System (KBS) based on the
  ontological formalism that will
• enable the dynamic binding among different
  Critical Infrastructures (CI) simulator models
• provide the possibility to discover
  (inter)dependencies among different CIs
• allow CIs vulnerability risk analysis.

The DIESIS KBS

• The main KBS components are
• the Meta Knowledge ONTology (MKIONT)
• the Federation ONTology (FONT)
• the Infrastructure ONTology (IONT)
• the Gateways that are located between the DIESIS
  middleware and the simulators
• Simulator Model
• Associative Table.

Realisation of a Data Link Information in KBS

• Relation Power Supply , P05m, TO24, P06m,
  TO24, P07m, TO24,
• Ontologies SONTP, IONTP, FONT, IONTT, SONTT
• Ontology transformation rules

Conclusion

• DIESIS is a twofold design study for the EISAC,
  consisting of
• technical proof-of-concept
• business case / business proof-of-concept
• The proposed EISAC should serve as a platform for
  joint CIP research

17
Conclusion (2)

• Benefits
• cost reductions for setting up CI simulator
  federations
• re-use of existing simulators and models
• provision of validated data and databases
• standards for interoperability
• additional benefits
• know-how in set-up and running federated CI
  simulations
• management and analysis tools
• MS on CI community building
• more
