Abstract
Critical infrastructure (CI), such as systems for water treatment, water distribution, power generation and distribution, is vital for the well being of a society. Such systems are typically large, complex, and interconnected. A cyber-attack on one such system could affect the other. In this work, a generic agent-based framework is proposed to aid in modeling a CI. Combined with a proposed methodology, the framework can be used to model a CI, and those connected to it, as an aid to understanding their collective behavior when subjected to cyber attacks. In a case study, the proposed framework was used to create a model of an operational water distribution system and validated experimentally using a set of cyber attacks launched against an implementation of the model.
