Sustainable operation of Critical Infrastructure Systems (CISs) is of a major concern to modern societies. Monitoring, control and security of such systems plays a key role in guaranteeing continuous, reliable and above all secure access to the resources provided by these systems. Development of adequate software and hardware structures, as well as algorithms to perform such functions cannot be done apart from the operational conditions of the plant. On the other hand the dependencies between the resources provided by the CIS and the societies, prevents from experiments. Also this approach could be found costly and hard to justify in the world driven by hard economics. This, once again calls for the simulation tools to be exploited. Due to the vast complexity of these systems including spatial distribution over a wide area, a control engineering based multiagent framework is often utilised to cope with the issues of monitoring, control and security of CIS. Since there is no off the shelve solution for the development of such systems a novel, interesting, approach is proposed within this work to cope with the CIS simulation environment. The environment is based on the JADE and Matlab. A simple, but computational demanding example is provided, presenting the abilities and performance of the Research Platform. The simulation example is presented in the context of the new complex water quality model. |
