26. TRUST-IT VISION Urban lifeline systems in the future will more effectively cope with the impacts of disasters, rapid population growth and aging infrastructure by adopting reconfiguration strategies and information technology (IT) applications and research. VISION DRIVERS The demands on urban infrastructure will increase disproportionately relative to infrastructure capacities, thus resulting in over-burdened systems Information technology has exploded in its reach and impact on society, yet it’s integration into infrastructure operations and design has been slow. Adaptive and Reconfigurable technologies have been successfully employed in designing computational and communication systems; its application to large societal-level systems will have significant long-term benefits to society and to the environment KEY CHALLENGES Existing approaches to reconfiguration are limited in scope, scalability, and extensibility. Current engineering pedagogy does not adequately support a holistic approach to solving complex engineering system problems, especially in environments where social issues are often paramount Methodologies to understand and quantify system interdependencies in large-scale lifeline systems are non-existent or lack sophistication Reconfiguration as mitigating tool cannot be evaluated without strong consideration of social, economic and political issues
