Background. The study considers hot-button issues of analysis and modeling of the critical infrastructure resilience cycle in order to engineering automated tools for management information support of the resilient functioning of these complex multicomponent systems under triggering events of various nature and scale. Materials and methods. The joint use of the process approach, the formal apparatus of ternary relations and the technology of conceptual modeling provide a methodological basis for an integrated solution to the problems of analyzing the critical infrastructures resilience cycle and synthesizing effective organizational and technical systems for situational management of their resilient functioning. Results and conclusions. A triadic hierarchical model of a typical U-shaped critical infrastructure resilience cycle, based on a conceptual definition of entities and ternary relations between them in the form of a set of triads and modeling the process of maintaining the system resilience at different stages of situational management, is proposed. The developed model provides the possibility of a pictorial systemic knowledge representation about the stages of critical infrastructure resilience management process by constructing chains of interrelated triads, the analysis of which allows to identify new capacities and patterns of the system functioning when critical situations occur, as well as to determine adequate measures and assets of ensuring resilience to improve the effectiveness of situational management. The results obtained can find application in the field of design automation of the ontological and simulation models of critical infrastructure resilience intended for subsequent use in the development of intelligent information technologies for managing critical entities and infrastructure systems.
