Critical infrastructure (CI), such as systems for water treatment, water distribution, power generation and distribution, is vital for the well being of a society. Such systems are typically large, complex, and interconnected. A cyber-attack on one such system could affect the other. In this work, a generic agent-based framework is proposed to aid in modeling a CI. Combined with a proposed methodology, the framework can be used to model a CI, and those connected to it, as an aid to understanding their collective behavior when subjected to cyber attacks. In a case study, the proposed framework was used to create a model of an operational water distribution system and validated experimentally using a set of cyber attacks launched against an implementation of the model.

关键基础设施（CI），例如水处理，水分配，发电和分配系统，对于社会的福祉至关重要。这样的系统通常是大型，复杂且互连的。一个这样的系统上的网络攻击可能会影响另一个。在这项工作中，提出了一个基于代理的通用框架来帮助对CI进行建模。与建议的方法相结合，该框架可用于对CI及其关联的CI进行建模，以帮助了解遭受网络攻击时其集体行为。在一个案例研究中，所提出的框架用于创建供水系统的模型，并使用针对该模型实施的一系列网络攻击进行了实验验证。
