The growth of a global digital economy has enabled rapid
communication, instantaneous movement of funds, and availability of
vast amounts of information. With this come challenges such as the
vulnerability of digitalized sociotechnological systems (STSs) to
destructive events (earthquakes, disease events, terrorist
attacks). Similar issues arise for disruptions to complex linked
natural and social systems (from changing climates, evolving urban
environments, etc.). This book explores new approaches to the
resilience of sociotechnological and natural-social systems in a
digital world of big data, extraordinary computing capacity, and
rapidly developing methods of Artificial Intelligence. Most of the
book's papers were presented at the Workshop on Big Data and
Systems Analysis held at the International Institute for Applied
Systems Analysis in Laxenburg, Austria in February, 2020. Their
authors are associated with the Task Group "Advanced mathematical
tools for data-driven applied systems analysis" created and
sponsored by CODATA in November, 2018. The world-wide COVID-19
pandemic illustrates the vulnerability of our healthcare systems,
supply chains, and social infrastructure, and confronts our notions
of what makes a system resilient. We have found that use of AI
tools can lead to problems when unexpected events occur. On the
other hand, the vast amounts of data available from sensors,
satellite images, social media, etc. can also be used to make
modern systems more resilient. Papers in the book explore
disruptions of complex networks and algorithms that minimize
departure from a previous state after a disruption; introduce a
multigrammatical framework for the technological and resource bases
of today's large-scale industrial systems and the transformations
resulting from disruptive events; and explain how robotics can
enhance pre-emptive measures or post-disaster responses to increase
resiliency. Other papers explore current directions in data
processing and handling and principles of FAIRness in data; how the
availability of large amounts of data can aid in the development of
resilient STSs and challenges to overcome in doing so. The book
also addresses interactions between humans and built environments,
focusing on how AI can inform today's smart and connected buildings
and make them resilient, and how AI tools can increase resilience
to misinformation and its dissemination.
