On the principle of design of resilient systems – application to enterprise information systems

TLDR

Resilience engineering is an emerging discipline. The article aims to discuss resilience and resilience engineering and to propose design principles for resilient systems. The authors propose a principle of design for resilient systems and outline its application to enterprise information systems. This leads to a proposed architecture of resilient enterprise information systems.

Abstract

Resilience engineering is an emerging discipline. In this article, we discuss the concept of resilience and resilience engineering in light of its distinct identity. We propose the principle of design of resilient systems. Then, we outline how these design principles can be applied to the enterprise information system to make it more resilient. This leads to a proposed architecture of resilient enterprise information systems.
