.... Their resilience (being able to withstand and recover from disruptions) is a critical attribute whose evaluation is nontrivial and requires detailed disruption models. Engineers rely on heuristics (such as redundancy and localized capacity) for achieving resilience that often result in unacceptable operation costs...

... Abstract Traditional risk-based design processes seek to mitigate operational hazards by manually identifying possible faults and corresponding mitigation strategies — a tedious process which critically relies on the designer’s limited knowledge. Resilience-based design, on the other hand...

... replication of the bio-inspired methods used for industrial network settings. Many of the benefits bio-inspiration can impart on human networks, including resilience-related improvements, makes use of reuse- and recycling-related pathways — maximizing the use of all available value in the network.

... intervention) resilience. The costs and demands on humans increase greater than linearly as SoS scale increases. These limitations require a novel approach to improve SoS resilience. We hypothesize that Biologically Inspired (BID) network design can improve SoS resilience. A systems dynamics model...
