Presentation on Resiliency in Systems Engineering, by Rick Hefner, Ph.D., Program Director, Caltech Center for Technology and Management Education
Topic: Resiliency in Systems Engineering
Speaker : Rick Hefner, Ph.D., Program Director, Caltech Center for Technology and Management Education
Abstract:
Resilience is the ability to provide required capabilities in the face of adversity. In a systems context, adversity is any condition that may degrade the desired capability of a system, including environmental sources, normal failure, as well as human sources, malicious or accidental. A system designed for resilience typically possesses four attributes: robustness, adaptability, tolerance, and integrity.
This presentation will discuss the characteristics of a resilience system and its supporting design techniques. Examples from industry will be presented.
