Abstract

In today’s very complex systems, errors, faults, malfunctions, attacks, and malicious activities are no longer exceptions, but everyday facts. Such events may lead to unavailability, failures, or unacceptable delays in the services or products implemented by software. The consequences of such events may be grave—possibly endangering life, health, property, profit, or reputation. The systems must, therefore, be designed and implemented to exhibit sufficient resilience against adverse incidents. Building resilient systems is a significant engineering discipline with a rich history and extensive literature. This chapter provides an introduction to resilience engineering and presents some of the fundamental principles for designing and evolving the architecture of resilient systems.
