520 This volume elaborates on both the qualitative and
quantitative aspects of resilience. Reviewing the
literature exploring the concept of resilience in
engineering, it discusses resilience in terms of the
various definitions used, the methodologies proposed to
characterize resilience, and the metrics put forward to
quantify the resilience of specific service infrastructure
systems. The review also identifies the key factors that
contribute to organizational resilience. The concept of
resilience is compared to other system properties such as
reliability, robustness, flexibility and agility, by
taking into consideration what systems are prepared
against (types of failure), the causes of failure in
systems (uncertainty), and how systems react to overcome
failure (level of adaptability). A review is also provided
of several resilience-enabling schemes, which improve
resilience by reducing vulnerability and increasing
adaptive capacity. The book puts forward a new framework,
the Networked Infrastructure Resilience Assessment (NIRA)
framework, through which the resilience of systems can be
measured by assessing the impact of disruptions on key
performance measures. By applying the framework to various
case studies, the book demonstrates the ability of the
proposed framework to assess resilience across a wide
variety of networked infrastructure systems. The case
studies probe the resilience of the following critical
infrastructure systems in the face of specific disruptive
events: telecommunication, transportation, maritime
transportation and organizational networks. This text is
intended for all levels of academia - from undergraduate
through to research level - as well as professionals and
decision-makers involved in the development, analysis and
evaluation of infrastructure systems.
