Beschreibung

A complete framework for any organization on achievingresilience in the event of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, orinternal failures The study of resilience encompasses the processes, disciplines,and infrastructure that need to be in place to anticipate andprevent major accidents, survive unprecedented disruptions, andmaintain systems operation. Architecting Resilient Systems presentsa framework for implementation that both public and privateorganizations can use as a guide to establishing procedures foranticipating, surviving, and recovering from disruptions. Relyingon an uncommon level of familiarity with current research andstandard ways programs are run in industry, this resource presentsprinciples that may be applied to an extensive number of systemtypes and environments. Coverage includes: * A systems approach to treating resilience--including bothholistic and analytical methods in which systems architecting playsa major role * The management and technical processes necessary to graspsystem resilience, and the interaction between them * Approaches that depart from accepted practices in industry andgovernment * Illuminating case histories--from chemical to civilinfrastructure to aircraft--along with comparisons thatidentify similarities * A discussion of and suggested approaches to dealing withcultural mindsets that can be detrimental to system resilience * End-of-chapter problems Meeting the worldwide demand for an implementation approach tosystems resilience, this timely guide can be used as a textbook inuniversity courses or as a reference for practicing engineers,systems architects, technology managers, government agencies, andany business professional whose role is to plan for natural andhuman-made disruptions.
