The resilience of networked infrastructure systems : analysis and measurement /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

This volume elaborates on both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of resilience. Reviewing the literature exploring the concept of resilience in engineering, it discusses resilience in terms of the various definitions used, the methodologies proposed to characterize resilience, and the metrics...
