Society heavily depends on infrastructure systems, such as road-traffic networks,
water networks, electricity networks, etc. Infrastructure systems are hereby considered
to be large-scale, networked systems, that almost everybody uses on a daily basis, and
that are so vital that their incapacity or destruction would have a debilitating impact
on the defense or economic security and functioning of society. The operation and control
of existing infrastructures such as road-traffic networks, water networks, electricity
networks, etc. are failing: too often we are confronted with capacity problems, unsafety,
unreliability and inefficiency. This book concentrates on a wide range of problems
concerning the way infrastructures are functioning today and discuss novel advanced,
intelligent, methods and tools for the operation and control of existing and future
infrastructures.
