ENCORE network+ white paper

The paper first argues the necessity for a common understanding of complex systems in an engineering context and the factors that make resilience such a central topic in these systems. Definitions are provided for both. The paper then concentrates on the challenges and opportunities for research in the field, citing and expanding on four main challenges, including system evolution, increasing complexity, design for resilience and resilienceperformance tensioning.
