“…Resilience has been defined in several ways, including: "A process linking a set of adaptive capacities to a positive trajectory of functioning and adaptation after a disturbance" [6]; Different responses to "changes in the relationship between open dynamical systems and their external environment" [8]; "The ability to anticipate possible adverse scenarios/ events…prepare for them, withstand/absorb their impacts, recover from disruptions caused by them and adapt to the changing conditions" [9]. Different ways of measuring resilience exist, for example: As an uncertainty-weighted resilience metric that is based on "three resilience capacities: adaptive capacity, absorptive capacity, and recoverability" [10]; As a "resilience profile" which indicates how sensitive a system is to different types of errors or threats [11]; As a "method for ranking critical components in interdependent infrastructures" [12].…”

“…Throughout the examined literature and regardless of the application field, the generic notion of property is steadily used to describe the concept of resilience by academia [15][16][17][18], organizations [19], and industry bodies [20]. Likewise, the term "ability" also conveys a generic meaning and consequently is effectively employed by diverse scientific disciplines, according to many researchers [21,22] and established organizations [19,23]. On the other hand, the conceptualization of resilience as a process is complementary to the aforementioned frameworks, mainly with the purpose of operationalization [12,[24][25][26][27].…”

“…The invention and adoption of smarter tools is driven by the system's capacities for learning and innovation [44], which are also considered core capacities of resilience. Emphasizing on the property of smartness in the promotion of resilience, some researchers recognize the contribution of specific methods and tools of digital technology that mainly enhance the capacities of monitoring and learning [98] and promote the interaction between a network and its operators [22]. The smart technology offers new potential to some practical challenges like the identification and collection of valid operational inputs for resilience management, derived from monitoring [5,25] with appropriate BIM and GIS tools [27] and analytical models [99].…”

The continuous growth of cities brings out various concerns for improved development and management of the multifaceted urban systems, including those of resilience and smartness. Despite the many significant efforts in the research field, both notions remain changeable, thus retaining the lack of commonly accepted conceptual and terminological frameworks. The paper’s research goals are to designate the current direct and indirect links in the conceptualizations and research trends of the resilience and smart city frameworks and to prove the potential of the conceptual convergence between them in the context of urban systems. The application of a semi-systematic literature review, including bibliometric evidence and followed by content analysis, has led to the observation that as the resilience discourse opens up to embrace other dimensions, including technology, the smart city research turns its interest to the perspective of urban protection. Therefore, both concepts share the goal for urban sustainability realized through specific capacities and processes and operationalized with the deployment of technology. The paper’s findings suggest that the conceptual and operational foundations of these two concepts could support the emergence of an integrated framework. Such a prospect acknowledges the instrumental role of the smart city approach in the pursuit of urban resilience and unfolds a new model for sustainable city management and development.

“…One of the ways to use resilience issues and indicators practically [21], is to put them into "lists" (checklist) and in the concept it is done in a dynamic way, allowing to dynamically create checklist appropriate for a given case using available indicators or adding new ones to the list. In order to make the creation/drafting of these dynamic checklists (DCLs) easier and allow for comparison and benchmarking of results, the user is encouraged to use the list suggested by the concept, namely (Figure 6):…”

The paper proposes a concept enabling quantitative assessment of resilience in critical entities developed in the European projects SmartResilience and InfraStress. The concept aims at combining simple communication-related advantages of simplified assessments results (such as “resilience very high” or “resilience very low”) with the advantages of the in-depth assessments (e.g. analysis of multiple sensor data). The paper describes the main elements of the innovative, indicator-based concept, starting with the “resilience cube” at the top, and continuing with the multi-level, hierarchical, indicator-based assessment methodology. The concept allows analyzing and assessing different aspects of practical resilience management. One can assess the resilience level of an entity at a given point in time, monitor their resilience level over time and benchmark it. One can also model and analyze the functionality of a system during a particular (threat) scenario, as well as stress-test it. The same methodology allows to optimize investment in improving resilience (e.g. in further training, in equipment, etc.), in a transparent and intuitive way. A resilience indicator database (over 4,000 indicators available) and a suite of tools (primarily developed within SmartResilience and InfraStress projects) and a repository of over 20 application cases and 300 scenarios, support application of the methodology. The concept has been discussed and agreed with over 50 different organizational stakeholders and is being embedded into the new ISO 31050 standard currently under development. Its “life-after-the-project” will be ensured by the dedicated “resilience rating initiative (ERRA)”. Although the concept and the tool in the form of the “ResilienceTool” were developed primarily for the resilience assessment of critical infrastructure (the “smart” ones in particular), they can be used for resilience assessment of other systems and through the extension of the, already initiated, implementation of AI techniques (machine learning) to make the ResilienceTool even more versatile and easier to use in the future.
