The RSWG promotes understanding of resilience in engineered systems and provides clear descriptions these principles in INCOSE publications.
The primary objective of the RSWG is to develop, promote, and advance Systems Engineering for resilient systems.
Definition
RSWG Definition of Resilience:
• Resilience is the ability to deliver required capability when facing adversity.
• The scope of resilience includes the ability to avoid, withstand, and recover from adversity (the objective is required capability, not system stasis)
• RSWG considers all engineered systems: including cyber/physical, organizational and conceptual.
