Critical Infrastructures, Key Resources, Key Assets de Adrian V. Gheorghe

Critical Infrastructures, Key Resources, Key Assets: Topics in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality, cartea 34

Autor Adrian V. Gheorghe, Dan V. Vamanu, Polinpapilinho F. Katina, Roland Pulfer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 noi 2017

Evoluția managementului riscului a trecut în ultimul deceniu de la analiza componentelor izolate la înțelegerea sistemelor-de-sisteme, unde eșecurile în cascadă reprezintă principala amenințare. Notăm cu interes modul în care Critical Infrastructures, Key Resources, Key Assets răspunde acestei complexități, propunând o schimbare de paradigmă: tratarea infrastructurilor critice nu doar ca active fizice, ci ca sisteme socio-economice dinamice. Considerăm că forța acestei lucrări rezidă în fundamentul său teoretic solid, care împrumută modele din fizica tranzițiilor de fază pentru a explica momentele de perturbare sistemică.

Subliniem că volumul extinde cadrul teoretic propus de Vulnerable Systems de Wolfgang Kröger prin integrarea unor date noi din domenii emergente, precum securitatea spațială și emisiile teritoriale. În timp ce lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe cuantificarea defectelor tehnice, Adrian V. Gheorghe și colaboratorii săi introduc dimensiunea guvernanței și a vulnerabilității manageriale ca factori critici în reziliență. Această abordare este o continuare firească a temelor explorate de autor în Critical Space Infrastructures și Resilient Energy Systems, unde accentul cade pe interdependența dintre tehnologie și decizia politică.

Structura celor 16 capitole indică o progresie logică de la teorie la aplicații practice riguroase. Primele secțiuni stabilesc analogiile fizice pentru reziliență, urmate de o analiză a vulnerabilității guvernanței. A doua jumătate a cărții este dedicată studiilor de caz detaliate, de la evaluarea reactoarelor nucleare la modelarea prin automate celulare a dispersiei poluanților în zone urbane complexe. Această ediție de la Springer se distinge prin capacitatea de a oferi instrumente de diagnosticare utile atât cercetătorilor, cât și factorilor de decizie din domeniul asigurărilor sau al răspunsului la urgențe.

De ce să citești această carte

Această lucrare este esențială pentru specialiștii în managementul riscului și planificare strategică. Cititorul câștigă acces la modele matematice avansate și studii de caz elvețiene aplicabile în protecția activelor naționale. Este un instrument valoros pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă cum analogiile din fizică pot prezice comportamentul sistemelor economice și tehnice complexe în fața unor dezastre imprevizibile.

Despre autor

Adrian V. Gheorghe este un expert recunoscut internațional în domeniul ingineriei sistemelor și al analizei riscului, ocupând poziții academice de prestigiu și contribuind la numeroase volume publicate de Springer. Opera sa se concentrează pe reziliența infrastructurilor critice, de la rețele energetice la sisteme spațiale și logistica bunurilor periculoase. Alături de Dan V. Vamanu, Polinpapilinho F. Katina și Roland Pulfer, acesta formează o echipă multidisciplinară ce îmbină expertiza tehnică în fizică și matematică cu viziunea managerială și de politici publice necesară securității moderne.

Descriere scurtă

In the face of increasing failures, comments attributed to Albert Einstein loom large: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” There is a pervasive feeling that any attempt to make sense of the current terrain of complex systems must involve thinking outside the box and originating unconventional approaches that integrate organizational, managerial, social, political, cultural, and human aspects and their interactions.

This textbook offers research-based models and tools for diagnosing and predicting the behavior of complex techno-socio-economic systems in the domain of critical infrastructures, key resources, key assets and the open bazaar of space, undersea, and below-ground systems. These models exemplify emblematic models in physics, within which the critical infrastructures, as well as society itself and its paraphernalia, share the profile of many-body systems featuring cooperative phenomena and phase transitions – the latter usually felt as disruptive occurrences.

The book and its models focus on the analytics of real-life-business actors, including policy-makers, financiers and insurers, industry managers, and emergency responders.
