Divided into two volumes, this first volume examines stochastic modeling across key economic sectors and their interconnections, while the second volume focuses on advanced mathematical methods for enhancing infrastructure protection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book covers a range of themes, including risk assessment techniques that account for systemic interdependencies within modern technospheres, the dynamics of uncertainty, instability and system vulnerabilities. The book also presents other topics such as cryptographic information protection and Shannon’s theory of secret systems, alongside solutions arising from optimization, game theory and machine learning approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing research from international collaborations, this book covers both theory and applications, offering vital insights for advanced risk management curricula.
