The main aim of the paper is analysis of safety of the Global Baltic Network of Critical Infrastructure Networks (GBNCIN), taking into account interactions among particular critical infrastructure networks this network consists of. The safety function and other safety characteristics: the risk function and mean values and the standard deviations of the lifetimes in the safety state subsets are determined...
In the paper optimization of operation process and minimization of operation cost for interconnected and interdependent critical infrastructure (CI) networks with cascading effects at variable operation conditions related to the climate-weather change are proposed. A multistate series network with assets dependent according to local load sharing (LLS) rule is analyzed and optimization of operation...

The paper is devoted to presentation the safety model for Baltic Port and Shipping Critical Infrastructure Network (BPSCIN) taking into account interactions between Baltic Port Critical Infrastructure Network, Baltic Shipping Critical Infrastructure Network and Baltic Ship Traffic and Port Operation Information Critical Infrastructure Network. First of all, the BPSCIN and its safety parameters are...
This report focuses on the safety analysis in the multistate ageing system after changing the safety state by any of its components, the inside interactions among the remaining components may cause the change of those components’ safety states. As we consider multistate systems, in a local, equal and mixed load sharing model of dependencies. For them, we analyze the safety of a multistate parallel-series...
In this paper we consider dependent Critical Infrastructures (CI) at variable operation conditions and present multistate approach to their safety analysis. The safety of dependent Critical Infrastructures at variable operation conditions is described. The local, equal and mixed load sharing models of dependency subjected to the operation process are introduced. The conditional safety functions at...
In the paper the safety function of a multistate series network with dependent assets, with dependent subnetworks and with dependent assets of its subnetworks is determined. The multistate series-parallel network with dependent assets of its subnetworks and multistate series-“m out of k” network with dependent assets of its subnetworks is considered. Further the multistate parallel and “m out of n”...
The paper presents climate-weather change terminology, selected from the fourth chapter of the report prepared in the scope of the EU-CIRCLE project.

The main aim of the article is introduced the Baltic Port Critical Infrastructure Network (BPCIN). It is done according to the Baltic Sea Core Ports. The basic technical parameters and the main cargo handling of particular ports are described. Furthermore, the involvement of the BPCIN in the Trans-European Transport Network is presented.
The liquid natural gas (LNG) will be commonly used by shipping and industry in the future. In this paper we present existing and planned natural gas networks in the Baltic Sea region, installed through the Baltic Sea. These gas pipeline installations create the Baltic Gas Pipeline Critical Infrastructure Network (BGPIN) that is one of eight critical infrastructure network of the Global Baltic Network...

In this paper, district heating is described and its operation process is considered in varying operation conditions over time. Taking into account the ordered thermal power which affects the amount of heat supply to consumers, the system operation states are introduced. Heat supply to consumers is carried out by means of a heat-carrying agent having the necessary parameters: required quantity, temperature...
In the paper a multistate approach to reliability analysis of series systems with dependent components according to the local load sharing rule is proposed. As a particular case, the reliability function of a multistate series system composed of dependent components having exponential reliability functions is determined. The mean values and standard deviations of the multistate system lifetimes in...
