3rd Enterprise and Infrastructure Resilience Workshop

今天设计的工程系统越来越复杂，并依赖于周围的其他系统。由于这种复杂性和相互依赖性，通常不可能预测系统生命周期中可预期的所有破坏性事件，这甚至可能导致对经济产生影响的中断和严重故障。复原力是一个涵盖各种学科的概念，建立复原力系统将使该系统能够从不可预测的干扰中恢复并适应这些新的条件。提高化学品供应链、化工厂和能源网络的复原力的努力将提供迅速应对迅速变化的情况所需的技术和方法，从而造福于社会。本研讨会所涵盖主题的知识预计将提高我们的经济和社会从大规模灾难、大流行病、更强的飓风和冬季风暴造成的深度冰冻中恢复或适应的能力。此外，这些讨论将强调整个发展过程中的可持续性和安全性。这个虚拟研讨会将向不同的受众做广告。NSF的资金将用于支持那些否则负担不起注册费用的学生、博士后和职业生涯早期研究人员的出席。将弹性工程的概念纳入化工厂、化学品供应链和能源网络等系统的设计中，将非常有效地将不可预见的干扰的不良影响降至最低，但需要来自科学和工程领域的专业知识，如化学工程师、可持续发展工程师、数学家等。该研讨会探讨了现代企业的多方面弹性战略，这些战略解决了对外部系统的依赖，如环境、利益相关者、股东和社会。研讨会将汇集在学术界、工业界和政府工作的不同领域的专业人士，以拥有广泛的视角。与会者的这种组合有可能促进有影响力的讨论和潜在的合作，这将有助于进一步推动该领域的发展。本次研讨会将整合的主题包括风险管理、优化、运筹学、可持续工程、关键基础设施、过程供应链、计算模型、机器学习方法、多尺度系统分析工具和过程安全。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The engineering systems designed today are increasingly complex and dependent on other surrounding systems. Due to this complexity and interdependence, it is often impossible to predict all disruptive events that can be expected in the system’s lifecycle, which may even lead to economically impactful disruptions and critical failures. Resilience is a concept encompassing various disciplines, and the creation of a resilient system will enable the system to recover from unpredicted disturbances and adapt to these new conditions. Efforts to improve resilience of chemical supply chains, chemical plants and energy networks will benefit society in by providing techniques and approaches that are needed to quickly respond to rapidly changing conditions. Knowledge from topics covered in this workshop is expected to improve our economy's and society's ability to recover from or adapt to large scale disasters, pandemics, stronger hurricanes, and deep freeze from winter storms. Further, these discussions will emphasize sustainability and safety throughout development. This virtual workshop will be advertised to a diverse audience. The NSF funds will be used to support student, post-doctoral fellow, and early-career researcher attendance, for those who would not otherwise be able to afford the registration. Incorporating concepts from resilience engineering in the design of systems such as chemical plants, chemical supply chains, and energy networks would be very effective in minimizing undesired effects of unforeseen disturbances yet requires expertise from various disciplines in science and engineering such as chemical engineers, sustainability engineers, mathematicians, and more. This workshop explores multifaceted resilience strategies for the modern enterprise that address dependence on external systems, such as the environment, stakeholders, shareholders, and society. The workshop would bring together professionals from various fields that are working in academia, industry, and government to have a wide range of perspectives. Such a combination of attendees has the potential of fostering impactful discussions and potential collaborations that would serve to further advance the field. Topics to be integrated at this workshop include risk management, optimization, operations research, sustainable engineering, critical infrastructure, process supply chains, computational models, machine learning methods, multi-scale systems analysis tools, and process safety.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
