Resilience Week 2013

Symposia dedicated to promising research in resilient systems that will protect cyber-physical infrastructures from unexpected and malicious threats--securing our way of life. Resilience week is the evolution of the IEEE IES technically co-sponsored International Symposium on Resilience Control Systems that started five years ago, which is has provided a multidisciplinary atmosphere for government, academia and industry to extend and endorse particular concepts that will generate novel research and codify resilience in next generation designs. As the symposium has grown, the diversity of the contributors has also grown, precipitating a need to cultivate the individuality of these distinct areas of resilience research. Therefore, for 2013, the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society will be initiating a co-located symposium on resilient cognizant systems, with similar evolution of both cyber and communications symposia.
