内容摘要
It is increasingly evident that global warming had induced more natural disasters of greater magnitude that posed threats and major disruptions to critical infrastructures and systems. This has led to the need to look beyond usual yardsticks of performance that are based on productivity, and more recently, those that are related to sustainability. System resilience has emerged as the natural choice. In this talk, a review of the current state of resilience research and four key dimensions of resilience will first be presented. This is followed by a discussion of recovery process and associated models and some findings on whether effective “learning” took place after major disruptions of US power grid to illustrate the concept of reconfigurability. Finally, some indices related to resilience are proposed as candidate metrics for measuring the performance of systems.
