Arango, Erica (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Yang, M. (author), Sousa, Hélder S. (author), Stewart, Mark G. (author), Matos, José C. (author)The severe effects of extreme wildfire events in recent years have shown that the fire suppression approach is not enough to solve the problem. An alternative to dealing with this issue is to accept the impossibility of eliminating wildfire hazards and focus on preparing systems to be more resilient. However, existing decision-making tools...journal article 2023

Designing resilient and economically viable water distribution systems: A Multi-dimensional approachCassottana, Beatrice (author), Balakrishnan, Srijith (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Sansavini, Giovanni (author)Enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure systems requires substantial investment and entails trade-offs between environmental and economic benefits. To this aim, we propose a methodological framework that combines resilience and economic analyses and assesses the economic viability of alternative resilience designs for a Water...journal article 2023

Yang, M. (author), Sun, H. (author), Geng, S. (author)Recent years have seen the increasing complexity of engineered systems. Complexity and uncertainty also exist in engineered systems’ interactions with human operators, managers, and the organization. Resilience, focusing on a system's ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and recover from disruptive situations, can provide an umbrella concept...journal article 2023

Cañizares Gaztelu, J.C. (author), Copeland, S.M. (author), Doorn, N. (author)This article contributes to recent work on justice in resilience-based projects for climate adaptation. At present, the model commonly used for guiding normative reflection in this domain is the tripartite model of justice, whereby justice is seen as comprising distributive, procedural and recognitional aspects. After discussing some conceptual...journal article 2023

Schwind, Nicolas (author), Demirović, E. (author), Inoue, Katsumi (author), Lagniez, Jean Marie (author)In one of its simplest forms, Team Formation involves deploying the least expensive team of agents while covering a set of skills. While current algorithms are reasonably successful in computing the best teams, the resilience to change of such solutions remains an important concern: Once a team has been formed, some of the agents considered...journal article 2023

(author)BACKGROUND: Prompted by recent shocks and stresses to health systems globally, various studies have emerged on health system resilience. Our aim is to describe how health system resilience is operationalised within empirical studies and previous reviews. We compare these to the core conceptualisations and characteristics of resilience in a...journal article 2023

Knoester, Max J. (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author), Afghari, A.P. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), van Egmond, Jochen (author)Disruptions occur frequently in railway networks, requiring timetable adjustments, while causing serious delays and cancellations. However, little is known about the performance dynamics during disruptions nor the extent to which the resilience curve applies in practice. This paper presents a data-driven quantification approach for an ex-post...journal article 2023

(author), Goerner, Sally (author), Webster, Ken (author), Fiscus, Dan (author), Ulanowicz, Robert E. (author)For many islands, the answer to the question “why a locally, self-sustaining, and regenerative economy is needed?” is clear. The struggle often lies in the “how”. Here, we argue that tools from regenerative economics, which follow an island economy-as-an-organism analogy, offer valuable and complementary insights to socio-metabolic research....journal article 2023

Baggers, Kevin (author)Maritime logistics is important for the international volume of trade. Ports are critical in cargo transhipment and provide services to vessels like traffic management, piloting, towage and mooring, which together are called the Nautical Chain since these services are dependent on each other. Due to the importance of maritime logistics, it is...master thesis 2022

Ntafou, Faidra (author)In the last decades, due to a number of reasons, cities have become more diverse than ever. This diversity, although an “inherent characteristic” is not always perceived as positive, especially in the so-called deprived areas, which mainly consist of multicultural, low-income social groups, having serious implications not only on how people live...master thesis 2022

van Beek, Hidde (author)Arid regions throughout the world experience long periods of drought. Combined with a high temperature, this can lead to water shortage. Due to climate change, this is expected to worsen, as areas become drier and temperatures increase. One of the regions where this problem occurs is the region of North-East Africa. In this region, water stress...master thesis 2022
