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 …

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

The interactions of external disruptions and technical-human-organizational factors in
emergency operations are usually observed. Resilience assessment of emergency systems …

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 …

Modern systems are increasingly under the threaten of disruptive events like earthquakes,
floods and storms. Under real life scenarios, multi-state models are often used to describe …

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

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 …

Abstract System resilience characterizes the capability of maintaining the required
functionality under disruptions, which is of great significance in evaluating the productivity …

Civil infrastructures such as transportation, water supply, sewers, telecommunications, and
electrical and gas networks often establish highly complex networks, due to their multiple …
