  • Urban storm water collection and conveyance systems are critical components of the urban infrastructures. During a storm event, street grate inlets are usually loaded with debris by the first-flush runoff volume. Grate inlets are subject to clogging effects. Effective interception area of grate inlets was decreased by clogging. It also decreased the interception capacity of grate inlets and increased the inundation area in street. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the clogging characteristics and interception capacity change by clogging for appropriate design and management of grate inlets. In this study, field survey was executed to investigate debris and clogging pattern of grate inlet in 9 areas. The clogging factor with consideration of urban area characteristics was estimated with the field survey results.

  • Almost all buildings/infrastructures made of composite materials are fabricated without proper design. Unlike airplane or automobile parts, prototype test is impossible. One cannot destroy 10 story buildings or 100-meter long bridges. People try to build 100-story buildings or several thousand meter long bridges. In order to realize "composites in construction", the following subjects must be studied in detail, for his design. Concept optimization, Simple method of analysis, Folded plate theory, Size effects in failure, and Critical frequency. Unlike the design procedure with conventional materials, his design should include material design, selection of manufacturing methods, and quality control methods, in addition to the fabrication method. In this paper size/scale effects in failure criteria is briefly explained for practicing engineers.engineers.

  • SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) SCADA refers to the combination of telemetry and data acquisition [1]. SCADA system has been used for remote measurement and control on the critical infrastructures as well as modem industrial facilities. Electric Power system is a representative system using SCADA network for its communication. Integration between many networks and increasing threatens of terrorism have made the potential risk by cyber attacks real and bigger in power system. Recently, many researching efforts have been made on SCADA network for improving its security. In general aspect, there are already several ways to secure the system like encryption, firewall, authentication, etc. In this paper, we focus on symmetric encryption method and propose the proper key distribution method to reflect the unique characteristics of SCADA network communication.

  • Payment Systems is one of critical infrastructures, which is increasingly dependent on IT. Failure to provide the payment services can bring disaster to national economy, which is the reason why business continuity of payment system receive much attention these days. Payment Systems are complex systems, which consist of multiple players: central bank, commercial banks, clearing house. The main purpose of this paper is to propose some business continuity strategies for the payment systems. First, in order to provide financial stability, this paper clarifies the concepts of business continuity plan(BCP). Second, this paper illustrates the processes to come up with business continuity strategies for the payment systems based on risk analysis and business impact analysis. Business continuity strategies are proposed in terms of two dimensions: vertical and horizontal.

  • These fields are integrated to visualize and finalize the proposed development, in simulation environment. SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems and distributed control systems (DCSs) are widely deployed in all over the world, which are designed to control the industrial infrastructures, in real ways. To supervise and control the various parts of designed systems; trends to require a deep knowledge to understand the overall functional needs of industries, which could be a big challenge. Industrial field devices (or network sensors) are usually distributed in many locations and are controlled from centralized site (or main control center); the communication provides various signs of security issues. To handle these issues, the research contribution will twofold: a method using cryptography is deployed in critical systems for security purposes and overall transmission is controlled from main controller site. At controller site, multimedia components are employed to control the overall transmission graphically, such as system communication, bytes flows, security embedded parameters and others, by the means of multimedia technology.

  • One of the critical issues in wireless sensor network is the design of a proper routing protocol. One possible approach is utilizing a virtual infrastructure, which is a subset of sensors to connect all the sensors in the network. Among the many virtual infrastructures, the connected dominating set is widely used. Since a small connected dominating set can help to decrease the protocol overhead and energy consumption, it is preferable to find a small sized connected dominating set. Although many algorithms have been suggested to construct a minimum connected dominating set, there have been few exact approaches. In this paper, we suggest an improved optimal algorithm for the minimum connected dominating set problem, and extensive computational results showed that our algorithm outperformed the previous exact algorithms. Also, we suggest a new heuristic algorithm to find the connected dominating set and computational results show that our algorithm is capable of finding good quality solutions quite fast.

  • SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system has been used for remote measurement and control on the critical infrastructures as well as modem industrial facilities. As cyber attacks increase on communication networks, SCADA network has been also exposed to cyber security problems. Especially, SCADA systems of energy industry such as electric power, gas and oil are vulnerable to targeted cyber attack and terrorism Recently, many research efforts to solve the problems have made progress on SCADA network security. In this paper, flexible key distribution concept is proposed for improving the security of SCADA network using Multiagent System (MAS).
