Resilience Engineering in Practice provides a practical interpretation of a resilient system performance based on the system’s ability to adjust its functioning. A central aim is to determine how resilient performance can be achieved by effectively engineering the four abilities of a resilient system: respond to the actual, monitor the critical, anticipate the potential, and learn from the factual. Considering the four abilities from an operational perspective offers an evidence-based approach that starts from a ‘whole-system’ level and leads to operational details on a concrete level.
