Micropolis Interdependency Modeling using Open Hybrid Automata

Abstract

Micropolis is a virtual city that is used for various studies, such as modeling and analyzing water networks. In this paper we model the various interdependencies between three major infrastructures in Micropolis, the power system, the communication network and the water network, in order to study cascades effects between them. Specifically, we develop open hybrid automata models for the main components of the three infrastructures and then composed them together based on their interdependencies.
