Abstract

This paper deals with the development of a Decision Support System (DSS) for infrastructure network vulnerability analysis in the natural disaster context. The developed DSS named VESTA supports dynamic modelling and interdependence modelling. The issues in this particular decision context are identified. Characteristics to be respected and the software architecture are also presented. The strengths of the DSS and its functionalities are highlighted. It calculates parameters by a simulation based on a vulnerability model. This paper discusses the implementation granularities of and the use of such a DSS.
