DIESIS project
The DIESIS project [1] gives the following definition:
"Infrastructures are geographically dependent if a local environmental event can create state changes in all of them." [2] E.g. if telecommunication and electrical distribution lines use the same bridge, the destruction of the bridge (local environmental event) has effects on the state of both infrastructures.
