specifi c problems, and with different resources. In this sense, the proposed
framework provides a model for decision making with an appropriate level
of decentralization as well as useful tools for assessment performance (e.g.,
reliability, vulnerability, and damage propagation) and decision support
(e.g., optimization) in infrastructure networks. This area has great potential
for further development; in particular, bridging technical considerations
and other contextual aspects of decisions is challenging and is worthy of
future investigations.
