Abstract: Including resilience in an overall systems optimization process is challenging because the space of hazard-mitigating features is complex, involving both inherent and active prevention and recovery measures. Many resilience ...

Abstract: Human operators play a major role in maintaining the safety of complex systems. Although operator error is a major cause of hazardous events, operators also contribute to resilience by preventing, mitigating, and recovering ...

Abstract: Traditional risk-based design processes seek to mitigate operational hazards by manually identifying possible faults and devising corresponding mitigation strategies—a tedious process which critically relies on the designer’s ...

Abstract: Complex engineered systems can carry risk of high failure consequences, and as a result, resilience—the ability to avoid or quickly recover from faults—is desirable. Ideally, resilience should be designed-in as early in ...
