PRAETORIAN strategic goal is to increase the security and resilience of European CIs, facilitating the coordinated protection of interrelated CI against combined physical and cyber threats. To that end, the project will provide a multidimensional (economical, technological, policy, societal) yet installation-specific toolset comprising: (i) a Physical Situation Awareness system, (ii) a Cyber Situation Awareness system; (iii) a Hybrid ...
Verifiable and elastic end-to-end communication infrastructures for private professional environments Scientific goals:
Private professional environments such as manufacturing industry, warehouses, hospitals, airports, etc. increasingly rely on end-to-end connected solutions to support and improve their ...
During the past decades, the traditional conception of infrastructure as a set of static structures, systems, and facilities serving the economy of a city, is switching to a broader and more social-oriented meaning. Particularly in the last two decades a new understanding of infrastructures has emerged (Amin and Thrift, 2002)(Simone, 2006)(de Boeck, 2011)(Farias. 2010 (Amin, 2014)(Graham and McFarlane, 2015)(Friedman, 2006). This school of ...
China is becoming the world's leading infrastructure state. The ERC-funded Reginfra project will explore the past and present uses and meanings of historical infrastructures and their digitisation. Specifically, the project will map, compare and analyse the material infrastructures on which Chinese polities of the past have been constructed. It will study how city walls, roads and bridges contributed to regional and empire-wide integration, ...
The PhD project Transitmigration and urban arrival infrastructures in Belgium and the Netherlands has Brussels and Amsterdam as its empirical vantage points, the ethnographic vantage points are Amsterdam and Brussels but will also include other places where these so-called ‘transit’ migrants find or build temporary settlements, mainly along the North Sea coast in Belgium (Zeebrugge) and Northern France (Dunkerque, Calais). The project focuses ...
The project will analyze the past and present uses and meanings of roads and their digitisation in late imperial Chinese history (ca.1000-1800). Specifically, the project will map, compare and analyze the material infrastructures on which Chinese polities of the past have been constructed. It will study how infrastructures constitute a region at different points in time, and how infrastructures contributed to cross-border regional formations ...
Our society crucially depends on the availability of network infrastructures providing us with means for transportation, communication, and power transmission. The enormous scale and complexity of these networks increases the likelihood of failures and service interferences. This is further exacerbated by the rising threat posed by terroristic attacks and natural disasters. The goal of this research project is to devise models and algorithms ...
