Center Director and Engineering Systems and Environment Professor James H. Lambert presented research related to advances in enterprise systems risk and resilience at two major conferences in summer 2019.
He presented “Risk and Resilience Management of Enterprises and Systems” at the Society for Risk Analysis Second Conference on Risk Analysis, Decision Analysis and Security in Buffalo/Niagara Falls, N.Y. in August. He also spoke at the biennial International Conference on Cybernetics, known as CYBCONF, organized by the University of Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing in July.
CYBCONF-2019 was sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society and supported by the institute's Technical Committees on Social and Economic Security and Systems Council Analytics and Risk Technical Committee. The conference provided a premier international forum for researchers and practitioners to report innovations, summarize the state-of-the-art, and exchange ideas and advances in all aspects of cybernetics.
Both talks addressed risk and resilience as quantifiable influences of disruptions to systemic priorities applied to systems such as maritime port operations, charging of electric-vehicle fleets and coastal communities with sea rise.
