Opportunity and Utility in Applying Scenarios Method in the Critical Infrastructures Protection Field

Abstract

Critical infrastructures protection research field is booming today because of the practical aspects and sometimes by taking in consideration its imminence character which should be addressed to it. The complexity of this domain originates from critical infrastructures architectures, dominated by the local or regional interdependencies and by the necessity feature of ensuring proper functionality, all in a framework of analysis characterized by unprecedented diversification of physical and / or virtual threats. In this context, this article analyzes (theoretical and based on a practical study) the possibility of using scenarios as a high form of contextual representation method.
