Integral to effective critical infrastructure analysis is the assessment of infrastructure vulnerabilities, which provides insights into potential disruptions that can enhance protection plans and response and recovery operations. Effective critical infrastructures analysis, however, must account for the complex, multi-dimensional characteristics of infrastructures and the dependencies between infrastructures. This paper presents a new methodology for integrated modeling and simulation that supports such analysis. An integrated analysis environment that embodies this new methodology is presented as a proof of concept.
