SUMMARY:Resilience: A systems engineering perspective
DESCRIPTION:Please note that tea and coffee will be served from 17.30hrs. 
  The lecture itself commences at 18.30hrs and shall be followed by a dri
 nks reception.\nPlease register for this event here.\nThreats to our infra
 structure seem to be mounting every day.  Whether they are from climate c
 hange\, terrorism\, or cyber security modern infrastructure can no longer 
 be assumed to be robust\, and resilience comes to the fore. But national i
 nfrastructure is now a heavily interlaced system of systems. How should re
 silience be delivered in the modern world?\nProfessor David Oxenham Chief 
 Systems Engineer at DSTL offers a systems engineer’s personal perspectiv
 e.\nBiography\nDavid Oxenham is Chief Systems Engineer and a Senior Fellow
  of the MOD’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL)). where h
 e applies a systems approach to complex problems in defence and security b
 ringing together analysis\, science\, technology\, military concepts and i
 ndustrial capabilities. He co-chairs a cross-Government professional leade
 rship group and community of practice in Systems Engineering.\nDavid joine
 d the Ministry of Defence (MOD) at the UK’s Royal Aerospace Establishmen
 t to work on aircraft and weapons navigation systems\, moving on to the  
 “Centre for Defence Analysis” in 1993. There\, he was responsible for 
 leading a large part of MOD’s air operational research study programme a
 nd played a significant advising role in the decisions for many of the UK
 ’s largest aircraft and weapon system acquisitions.\nAfter a year at the
  Royal College of Defence Studies he returned to MOD’s newly formed Defe
 nce Science and Technology Laboratory to take up a senior management role 
 for Maritime and Strategic Systems. He was appointed as a Dstl Senior Fell
 ow in 2009.\nDavid sits on Advisory Boards for Bristol\, Loughborough and 
 Cranfield Universities. He was previously a Royal Academy of Engineering V
 isiting Professor for Integrated Systems Design at Imperial College.\nAbst
 ract\nThreats to national infrastructure seem to be mounting every day.  
 Whether they are from climate change\, terrorism\, or cyber security moder
 n infrastructure post attack resilience is becoming of increasing importan
 ce. Our society and economy increasingly depend on the smooth and efficien
 t functioning of heavily interlaced\, and highly complex\, systems of syst
 ems\, enterprises and infrastructure. It is not safe to assume that we are
  as resilient as we wish to be\, or that the infrastructure we are designi
 ng will be resilient against future challenges. How best to design and ope
 rate systems and infrastructure so that both are resilient and futureproof
  is a test of engineering… and of engineers.\nProfessor David Oxenham Ch
 ief Systems Engineer at MOD’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory 
  Portland Down offers a systems engineer’s personal perspective and ins
 ight into current research.\n\n
