The global container shipping network is vital to international trade. Current techniques for its vulnerability assessment are constrained due to the lack of historical disruption data and computational limitations due to typical network sizes. We address these modelling challenges by developing...

Considerable work has been done to understand and improve the resilience of individual infrastructure components. However, systems of components, or even systems of systems, are far less well understood. Cascade effects, where the loss of one infrastructure affects others, is a major source of...

We consider a network whose links are subject to independent, random failures due to a disruptive event. The survival probability of a link is increased, if it is strengthened by investment. A given budget is to be allocated among the links with the objective of optimizing the post-event...
