Resilience (2015-2020)
The Resilience research line is coordinated by Harald Vranken. The main aim of this research line is to increase our understanding of the capacity of systems to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change so as to still retain essentially the same function. The research line has defined three subprogrammes:
- Sustainability
Addressing the design, management and organization of processes and systems contributing to a more sustainable world. - Services and supply chains
Addressing supply chains in which inter-firm collaboration and competition takes place. - Trustworthy Systems
Addressing resilience and trustworthiness of software systems and information systems.
Research topics that are representative of the research line:
- energy analysis of computer systems
- security of on-line banking and smart grids
- sustainable HRM; sustainable business models for OER
- social entrepreneurship
- supply chain management
- environmental modelling and risk assessment.
