This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 12th
International Conference on Critical Information Infrastructures
Security, CRITIS 201, held in Lucca, Italy, in October 2017. The 21
full papers and 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed
and selected from 63 submissions. They present innovative research
and explore new challenges in the field of critical information
infrastructures protection (C(I)IP) and deal with
multi-disciplinary approaches to relevant C(I)IP problems.
The present work is meant as a reference to provide an organic and
comprehensive view of the most relevant results in the exciting new
field of Networks of Networks (NetoNets). Seminal papers have
recently been published posing the basis to study what happens when
different networks interact, thus providing evidence for the
emergence of new, unexpected behaviors and vulnerabilities. From
those seminal works, the awareness on the importance understanding
Networks of Networks (NetoNets) has spread to the entire community
of Complexity Science. The reader will benefit from the experience
of some of the most well-recognized leaders in this field. The
contents have been aggregated under four headings; General Theory,
Phenomenology, Applications and Risk Assessment. The reader will be
impressed by the different applications of the general paradigm
that span from physiology, to financial risk, to transports. We are
currently making the first steps to reduce the distance between the
language and the way of thinking of the two communities of experts
in real infrastructures and the complexity scientists. Although
this path may prove to be long, it is extremely promising, both in
extending our understanding of complex systems and in finding
concrete applications that can enhance the life quality of millions
of people.
