Society depends on the interconnection of systems including hardware and software. They make up the built environment and the infrastructure that we depend upon. Today?s systems are subject to an increasing number of hazards and disasters both natural or manmade often leading to failures that have major impact on society. We want to know how to design systems to avoid such failures and how to bounce back quickly if such failures occur.
The workshop will reflect on the current state-of-art and state-of-practice for the above two questions. It will then bring out the research and the translational challenges to make our infrastructures truly resilient. This workshop will be hosted in a hybrid mode, with both in-person and virtual participation. The workshop will bring together external thought and action leaders in the area of resilient systems, drawn from universities, federal laboratories, and commercial organizations and providing multi-disciplinary and convergent perspectives. The workshop will be broad-based considering areas of resilient and adaptive cyberinfrastructures, resilient cyber-physical systems, and scientific foundations of resilient socio-technical systems. The workshop will be hosted by Purdue?s Center for Resilient Infrastructures, Systems, and Processes and will address three broad technical themes. An objective is to develop technology for research concepts suitable for a near-term (1-5 year) and mid-term (5-10 years) considering theoretical and practical advancements in technology.
