Power System Resilience: Current Practices, Challenges, and Future Directions (2020, background): “In [4], resilience has been defined as the ability of the power system to withstand within an acceptable level and recover within acceptable time and cost.”
A metric and frameworks for resilience analysis of engineered and infrastructure systems (2014, background): “to recover within acceptable time and composite costs and risks [9].”
On Some Recent Definitions and Analysis Frameworks for Risk, Vulnerability, and Resilience (2011, methodology): “Haimes(2) defines resilience as the ability of the system to withstand a major disruption within acceptable degradation parameters and to recover within an acceptable time, and composite costs, and risks.”
Low-Certainty-Need (LCN) supply chains: a new perspective in managing disruption risks and resilience (2018, neutral): “At the same time, we may distinguish between being safe and performing safely (Haimes 2009, Park et al. 2013, Aven 2017).”
A quantitative method for assessing resilience of interdependent infrastructures (2017, background): “In recent years, the ability to assess and engineer resilience of these systems has emerged as a fundamental concern for researchers [18-22].”
