Resilience is an emerging research topic that is receiving more attention from both scholars and practitioners due to increasingly complex and interconnected systems as well as dynamic environments of organisations and industries. Furthermore, resilience research spans multiple application areas such as cyber-security, logistics, healthcare, etc.. In this context, given the occurrence of a particular set of events, resilient management involves adaptive Enterprise Architectures (EA) and Decision Support Systems (DSS) enabling the movement beyond survival in the face of challenging circumstances. This means advancing systems towards a situation of quick recovery, impact mitigation and even prosperity.
The goal of this workshop is two-fold. On the one hand, it aims at providing a better understanding of how EAs can be designed, developed and maintained such that resilience is ensured. On the other hand, it seeks to enhance decision-making and planning by means of DSS for coping with undesirable events. Therefore, this implies understanding the main challenges, how EAs and strategies can be designed with resilience in mind, how to measure and optimize the recovery of systems and determine the best mitigation strategies from the design of EAs to the development and application of DSSs.
All papers from AREADS will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). A post-workshop special issue will be planned and selected authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their work.
