Acknowledgments
The writer would like to thank first and foremost my colleague Barry Horowitz who has stimulated my ideas about the PSM during our daily creative lunchtime walk around the grounds of the University of Virginia, discussing, among other topics, emergent and unprecedented multiscale systems of systems. The constructive comments and suggestions offered by my friend Andy Sage on an earlier draft of this paper are most appreciated. The contributions made by my colleague Kenneth Crowther in streamlining the logical development of PSM as it relates to the theory of scenario structuring and hierarchical holographic modeling have markedly clarified the current version. The writer is also grateful to his other colleagues Jim Lambert and Joost Santos, and my Ph.D. students Matt Henry, Kash Barker, and William Yan for their constructive comments and suggestions. The writer very much appreciates the expert technical editorial work of Grace Zisk, as well as the helpful administrative assistance provided by Erika Evans, manager of the Center for Risk Management of Engineering Systems. This study was supported by the National Science Foundation, under two grants to the University of Virginia Center for Risk Management of Engineering Systems: (1) NSF 0301553, Input–Output Risk Model of Critical Infrastructure Systems; and (2) NSF 0301553, Risk-Based Methodological Framework for Scenario Tracking and Intelligence Collection and Analysis for Terrorism. This work was also produced in part with support from the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3P) research program. The I3P is managed by Dartmouth College, and supported under Award No. 2003-TK-TX-0003 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate. Points of view in this document are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the official position of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Science and Technology Directorate, the I3P, or Dartmouth College.
