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

社会依赖于包括硬件和软件在内的系统的互连。它们构成了我们赖以生存的建筑环境和基础设施。当今的系统受到越来越多的自然或人为的危险和灾害的影响，往往导致对社会产生重大影响的故障。我们想知道如何设计系统以避免此类故障，以及如何在此类故障发生时快速恢复。讲习班将对上述两个问题的当前技术状况和实践状况进行反思。然后，它将带来研究和转化挑战，使我们的基础设施真正具有弹性。本次研讨会将以混合模式举办，包括面对面和虚拟参与。研讨会将汇集来自大学、联邦实验室和商业组织的弹性系统领域的外部思想和行动领袖，并提供多学科和融合的观点。研讨会将广泛考虑弹性和适应性网络基础设施、弹性网络物理系统和弹性社会技术系统的科学基础等领域。研讨会将由普渡大学弹性基础设施、系统和过程中心主办，并将讨论三个广泛的技术主题。目标是考虑到技术的理论和实践进步，开发适合近期（1-5年）和中期（5-10年）的研究概念的技术。总体目标是回答：1。如何使自主系统更具弹性？这将包括对人在/在回路中的自主性的讨论；2. 如何在我们的CPS操作中建立概率保证？我们希望提供这样的保证，即使系统受到干扰，无论是预期的还是意外的；和3。我们如何使我们的系统能够适应黑天鹅事件？当我们正在经历这样的事件时，我们正在迅速积累一套最佳原则和实践，使我们的计算系统和社会技术系统能够适应这样的事件。我们的讨论将提出有助于社会从此类事件中恢复过来的原则。研讨会将统一这些，并提出进一步发展的想法。该讲习班将提供显著的社会效益。自然灾害和网络攻击给我们的系统带来了挑战，这一主题既及时又相关。研讨会结果将在网上公布，并向广大研究人员开放。除传统的科学出版物方法外，还将通过丰富的多媒体材料传播研究结果。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Society depends on the interconnection of systems including hardware and software. They make up the built environment and the infrastructure that we depend upon. Today’s systems are subject to an increasing number of hazards and disasters both natural or manmade often leading to failures that have major impact on society. We want to know how to design systems to avoid such failures and how to bounce back quickly if such failures occur. The workshop will reflect on the current state-of-art and state-of-practice for the above two questions. It will then bring out the research and the translational challenges to make our infrastructures truly resilient. This workshop will be hosted in a hybrid mode, with both in-person and virtual participation. The workshop will bring together external thought and action leaders in the area of resilient systems, drawn from universities, federal laboratories, and commercial organizations and providing multi-disciplinary and convergent perspectives. The workshop will be broad-based considering areas of resilient and adaptive cyberinfrastructures, resilient cyber-physical systems, and scientific foundations of resilient socio-technical systems. The workshop will be hosted by Purdue’s Center for Resilient Infrastructures, Systems, and Processes and will address three broad technical themes. An objective is to develop technology for research concepts suitable for a near-term (1-5 year) and mid-term (5-10 years) considering theoretical and practical advancements in technology.Overall goal is to answer: 1. How can autonomous systems be made more resilient? This will include discussion of human on/in-the-loop autonomy; 2. How to build in probabilistic guarantees in our CPS operations? We want to provide such guarantees even when the systems are subject to perturbations, both anticipated and unanticipated; and 3. How can we make our systems resilient to black swan events? As we are living through one such, we are fast accumulating a set of best principles and practices to make our computing systems and socio-technical systems resilient to such events. Our discussion will bring out principles that will aid societies to bounce back from such events. The workshop will unify these and lay out ideas for further development. The workshop will provide significant societal benefits. The topic is timely and relevant to challenges to our systems through natural disasters and cyberattacks. Workshop results will be published online and open to the broad community of researchers. Results will be disseminated through rich multimedia material in addition to the traditional method of scientific publications.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.
