The presentation concentrates on a wide range of problems in the way infrastructures are operating today and presents how new, intelligent concepts for modeling and control can improve their operation. The problems different infrastructure sectors are dealing with have very much in common. How to use the available capacity to its maximum? How to do this in the most efficient way? How to prevent congestion, without neglecting the proper safety precautions? How to respond adequately to fast changing conditions and market demands? There are no easy solutions to these problems, because large infrastructure systems have many components and levels, involving different parties, all primarily pursuing their own local performance objectives. Our research has sought to develop systematic modeling, management and control strategies that are able to handle multi-actor, multi-level,

multi-objective and dynamic complexity of infrastructural operation contributing to more reliable, safe, effective and efficient utilization of infrastructure. The Model Factory – the cornerstone of the programme – gives guidance and tools for agent-based modeling and simulating the actions and interactions of autonomous individuals (agents) in a network to investigate the individual- and system-level properties that emerge as the agents interact with each other and their environment.
