This paper proposes a quantitative approach for measuring the resilience of the network
components and the network itself. This study introduces a conceptual framework featuring …

Disruptive events, whether malevolent attacks, natural disasters, manmade accidents, or
common failures, can have significant widespread impacts when they lead to the failure of …

This paper seeks to define the concept of resiliency as a component importance measure
related to network reliability. Resiliency can be defined as a composite of:(1) the ability of a …

Resilience is generally understood as the ability of an entity to recover from an external
disruptive event. In the system domain, a formal definition and quantification of the concept …

Disruptive events such as natural disasters and human errors can have widespread adverse
impacts on several networked infrastructures, affecting their functionalities and possibly …

Multistate networks composed of many independent components are susceptible to natural
disasters and intentional attacks. Resilience is described as the capability of keeping and …

Building resilience into today's complex infrastructures is critical to the daily functioning of
society and its ability to withstand and recover from natural disasters, epidemics and cyber …

Multi-state networks which not only be connected but also function at a certain performance
level exist widely in real-world engineering systems. Resilience provides a new approach …

The recognition that resilience is a critical aspect of infrastructure security has caused the
national and homeland security communities to ask “How does one ensure infrastructure …

This paper introduces an approach to quantify resilience for the design of systems that can
be described as a network. A key characteristic of resilience is the ability of restoring …
