NSF Workshop on State-of-the-Art and Challenges in Resilience

我们的社会严重依赖于几个相互依赖的关键基础设施系统和流程来运行这些系统，例如，工业控制系统、支撑我们智能城市的物联网系统、大规模网络系统以及交通和建筑基础设施等已建成的环境。它们受到各种危险和故障的影响，既有自然的，也有恶意的，通常会导致用户可见的故障。研究界已经开发了一套工具来分析基础设施的故障模式并系统地构建恢复能力。该研讨会旨在将这些社区的精选成员聚集在一起，他们专注于有弹性和适应性的网络基础设施、有弹性的网络物理系统和有弹性的社会技术系统的科学基础。参与者将是社会技术弹性系统领域的思想和行动领导者，他们来自外部学术研究人员和行业从业者。讲习班将强调关于多个领域之间复原力的科学和基础研究，并促进在这些领域具有社会重要性的应用。这次研讨会将通过讨论基本技术和案例研究来突出协同增效作用。然后，它将提出突出的研究和实践挑战，这些挑战可以成为各自技术界的战斗号召。研讨会有三个主要目标。首先，在一个可访问的论坛中收集跨多个研究社区的复原力研究的最佳做法。第二，向社会传播什么是广泛的公开研究挑战，以及可以利用来应对这些挑战的先前和正在进行的工作。第三，提供人工制品(视频讲座、设计文档、软件发布)，记录社区在弹性系统设计和实现方面取得的进展。研讨会将在普渡大学举行，将反映当前弹性系统设计的最先进和最先进的实践，并将列出我们需要解决的广泛研究和翻译挑战，以使我们的基础设施真正对自然故障具有弹性。研讨会将涉及网络、网络物理和社会技术系统等专题领域。它将借鉴社区作出的技术贡献，将它们置于不断发展的技术变革的背景下，并确定需要并可能产生高度影响的复原力工作的广泛主题领域。自然适合本次研讨会的国家科学基金会社区包括：智能互联社区(S和CC)、网络物理系统(CP)、计算机系统研究(CSR)、软件和硬件基础(SHF)以及工程设计和系统工程(EDSE)。我们将邀请来自不同大学和不同资历的这些社区的研究人员参加技术讲座、小组讨论和海报会议。还将有精选的行业和国家实验室参与者。研讨会将产生三个具体的成果：报告(每个主题领域一个)，记录在设计、开发和维护弹性基础设施方面的当前最先进、最先进的实践和开放的研究挑战；组织和策划演讲和小组讨论的材料(幻灯片、音频、视频)；即将到来的研究人员就当前研究方向提交的海报档案。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。

Our society is crucially dependent on several interdependent critical infrastructure systems and processes for operating these systems, such as, industrial control systems, IoT systems underlying our smart cities, large-scale cyber systems, and built environments like transportation and building infrastructures. These are subjected to various kinds of hazards and faults, both natural and malicious, often leading to user-visible failures. The research community has developed a set of tools to analyze the failure modes of the infrastructures and systematically build in resilience. This workshop is meant to bring together select members of these communities who have focused on resilient and adaptive cyberinfrastructures, resilient cyber-physical systems, and scientific foundations of resilient socio-technical systems. The participants will be thought and action leaders in the area of social-technical resilient systems, drawn from external academic researchers and industrial practitioners. The workshop will stress the scientific and foundational research on resilience at the interface of multiple domains, and to promote applications of societal importance in these domains. This workshop will highlight the synergies through discussion of foundational techniques and case studies. Then it will present the salient research and practice challenges that can serve as a call-to-arms for the respective technical communities. The workshop has three broad aims. First, to capture in one accessible forum best practices in research on resilience spanning multiple research communities. Second, to disseminate to the community what are the broad open research challenges, along with prior and ongoing work that can be leveraged to attack these challenges. Third, to provide artifacts (video lectures, design documents, software releases) documenting the progress the community has made in resilient system design and implementation. The workshop, to be held at Purdue University, will reflect on the current state-of-art and state-of-practice of resilient system design and will lay out the broad research and translation challenges that we will need to address to make our infrastructures truly resilient to natural failures. The workshop will be broad-based in the topical areas of cyber, cyber-physical, and socio-technical systems. It will draw from the technical contributions made by the communities, put them in the context of evolving technological changes, and identify broad-based topic areas where resilience work is both needed and likely to have high impact. The NSF communities that are natural fits within this workshop are: Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Computer Systems Research (CSR), Software and Hardware Foundations (SHF), and Engineering Design and System Engineering (EDSE). We will invite researchers from these communities from various universities and at different levels of seniority to participate in the technical talks, panel discussions, and poster sessions. There will also be select industry and national lab participants. Three specific deliverables will come out of the workshop: reports (one for each topical area) documenting the current state-of-art, state-of-practice, and open research challenges in designing, developing, and maintaining resilient infrastructures; organized and curated material (slides, audio, video) of talks and panels; archive of posters presented by upcoming researchers on current research directions.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.
