Constrained counting and sampling are two fundamental problems in Computer Science
with numerous applications, including network reliability, privacy, probabilistic reasoning …

Infrastructure networks are essential to the socioeconomic development of any country. This
article applies clustering analysis to extract the inherent structural properties of realistic-size …

This paper presents a novel decision-making framework for seismic vulnerability
assessment of bulk power systems by using hierarchical network decomposition. This …

Infrastructure networks are complex, distributed, socio-technical systems whose study
requires the integration of several domains of knowledge and techniques to coherently …

Due to the growing complexity of projects, their risks have increased in number and
criticality. Risk lists thus need to be broken down into smaller, more manageable clusters …

We adopt a 'system-of-systems' framework of analysis, previously presented by the authors,
to include the interdependent infrastructures which support a critical plant in the study of its …

The quantification of system reliability is fundamental to the assessment of a system's safety
and resilience, and has been of interest to decision-makers. Since quantifying the system …
