Smart grids are susceptible to cyber-attack as a result of new communication, control and computation techniques employed in the grid. In this paper, we characterize and analyze the resiliency of smart grid communication architecture, specifically an RF mesh based architecture, under cyber attacks. We analyze the resiliency of the communication architecture by studying the performance of high-l...

The developmental trajectories of behavioral control and resiliency from early childhood to adolescence and their effects on early onset of substance use were examined. Behavioral control is the tendency to express or contain one's impulses and behaviors. Resiliency is the ability to adapt flexibly one's characteristic level of control in response to the environment. Study participants were 514...

A workflow is resilient when the unavailability of some users does not force to choose between a violation of the security policy or an early termination of the workflow. Although checking for the resiliency of a workflow is a well-studied problem, solutions usually only provide a binary answer to the problem, leaving a workflow designer with little help when the workflow is not resilient. We p...

This paper explores the concept of enterprise resiliency in Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) for development initiatives. ICT are necessary to improve access to vital services and to ultimately support efforts to improve economic conditions in developing regions. Access to information resources provides substantial benefits in the public and private sectors of regions with low ...

A CONTROL-THEORETIC DESIGN AND ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR RESILIENT HARD REAL-TIME SYSTEMS We introduce a new design metric called system-resiliency which characterizes the maximum unpredictable external stresses that any hard-real-time performance mode can withstand. Our proposed systemresiliency framework addresses resiliency determination for real-time systems with physical and hardware limitati...

results the χ2 test showed that the experimental and control groups significantly differed in relapse rates (χ2 = 6.30, df = 1, p < 0.001). in addition, the covariance analysis showed a significant difference between the two groups in resiliency enhancement at post-test (f = 33.76, p < 0.001) and follow-up (f = 37.67, p < 0.001). conclusion the results indicate that lifestyle training is effect...

conclusions different factors affect resiliency improvements in medical emergency staff and consequently the quality of pre-hospital burn care. this study showed that various factors such as scene security/safety, effective decision making, self-efficacy and religious support are effective in the improvement of resiliency and the quality of pre-hospital emergency care. results by analyzing 456 ...

conclusions our findings suggest the importance of high-risk behaviors in terms of etiological pathways, maintenance process and treatment interventions. results the results suggested that the model had good fit (root mean square of approximation = 0.07, comparative fit index = 0.95, normed fit index = 0.91, goodness of fit index =0.93) with the data. accordingly, the indirect effect of resilie...

Computing architectures change towards massively parallel environments with increasing numbers of heterogeneous components. The large scale in combination with decreasing feature sizes leads to dramatically increasing error rates. The heterogeneity further leads to new error types. Techniques for ensuring resiliency in terms of robustness regarding these errors are typically applied at hardware...
