Architecting resilient systems: accident avoidance and survival and recovery from disruptions

The science of resilience engineering is so new that there is little agreement about what it is. Most sources, lists three aspects: The ability to prevent something bad from happening The ability to prevent something bad from becoming even worse, and The ability to recover from something bad from becoming evenworse. While many authors focus on the third aspect, this book takes the generic approach and covers all three. While the first aspect can best be categorized as accident avoidance, it is difficult to separate it, its causes and its prevention from the other two. This book presents a framework for implementation that any organization, public or private, can use as a guide for establishing their own procedures and processes for achieving system resilience, which is the product of resilience engineering. This framework relies on an extensivefamiliarity with both the current research and also standard ways that programs are run in industry. There is a world-wide demand for an implementation approach. This book presents such an approach
