Ontology Applied in Decision Support System for Critical Infrastructures Protection

  • Conference paper
Book cover Trends in Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA/AIE 2010)

Abstract

In this paper, a decision support engine based on ontology for Critical Infrastructure Protection is presented. The proposed ontology provides vulnerabilities classification and and their relationships with other security aspects. Described approach is used in decision support tool developed within the INSPIRE project (INcreasing Security and Protection through Infrastructure REsilience). Our application called INSPIRE DAT (Decision Aid Tool) is also presented.
