报告摘要：
Network interdiction and fortification models have many important practical applications, for example in designing strategies to protect critical infrastructures from disruptions. We introduce a modelling framework to define different types of fortification strategies, including mitigation and immunization strategies. We then propose a system resilience criterion to evaluate the ability of a fortification strategy in defending against uncertain attacks, and propose the corresponding resilience optimization problem, termed as the RES-OPT. A numerical example based on regional power transmission lines in Southern China is used to illustrate the application of the RES-OPT model.

Adam Ng Tsan Shengis anAssociate Professor and Deputy Head with the Dept of Industrial and SystemsEngineering Management, National University of Singapore (NUS). He obtained his PhD in Industrial and SystemsEngineering, 2005 and Beng in Electrical (Hons 1stClass), 2000 fromthe National University of Singapore. His research interests are broadly insystems modelling andoperations researchapplications in energy sustainability and resilience. These include developingrisk and resilience performance metrics that for decision making underuncertainty in environmental and energy economic problems that can beimplemented using optimization solvers. Other contributions include developingcomputational models for optimizing and planning of energy systems underuncertainty, such as waste-to-energy systems. He has led industrial and research projects involving natural gasnetwork planning, robust optimization modelling, environmental and energysustainability, and future resilience systems. He has published widely injournals such as Production and Operations Management, Transportation Science,Transportation Research, IISE Transactions, Energy Economics, European Journalof Operations Research, etc. He is also an associate editor for the Journal ofSimulation, and an editorial board member of the International Journal ofAutomation and Logistics.
