DESCRIPTION:The concept of resilience has emerged from various domains to 
 address how systems\, people and economies can handle uncertainty. Indeed\
 , there is recognition that organisations also need to become more resilie
 nt in order to not just survive hardship\, but also thrive and prosper. Fo
 r engineering infrastructure systems\, such as telecommunications networks
 \, this is ever more vital due to the characteristically long life cycles 
 leading to large uncertainties and due to the significant investments invo
 lved. However\, exactly how such systems may be endowed with resilience fr
 om an engineering design perspective is less clear.\n\nThis talk thus disc
 usses recent PhD work in the synthesis of a novel support method where Bay
 esian Networks are used for resilience analysis and the design properties 
 that may be useful for resilience. This was applied to two case studies: t
 he first built upon existing work based on a Waste-to-Energy system in Sin
 gapore to verify the new method while the second applied the support metho
 d with BT to gauge reception of this approach in industry.
