Abstract

The paper describes the basics of a new convergent science-Infranetics-based on the MAICS-convergent technology (Digital Stochastic Mechanics, Artificial Intelligence, Information Theory, Cognitive and Social Sciences). The name Infranetics comes from Infrastructures + Cybernetics. Infranetics is being constructed for solving the central problem of safe innovative development of a region/territory/municipality by creating a methodology of harmonized regulation of regional risk. This methodology is based on optimal management of systems of interdependent critical infrastructures (ICI) that play crucial role in the sustainable development of a modern society of risk. To this end following four aggregate optimization criteria are proposed: 1) regional average life expectance at birth (RALE); 2) regional (municipal) life quality index (RLQI); 3) resilience of regional systems of interdependent smart infrastructures (RICI) and 4) spatial entropy of creation and destruction of a regional system of ICI. Infranetics is a useful tool of managing and governance for regional decision makers (DMs), as they can track how their decisions influence the RALE, quality of life and the wellbeing of their citizens/constituents. The paper demonstrates how Infranetics is used to solve real life problems related to regional resilience and governance.
