Submissions

Author Guidelines

We welcome four types of submissions:   

(1) Full-length papers (8 pages-long);

(2) Structured abstracts (up to 500 words);

(3) Industry testimonies of practical resilience engineering applications (up to 500 words). These will also be submitted as a structured abstract albeit with different topics, and

(4) Workshops (1 hour-long; e.g., interactive games with attendees, round tables debating key topics for the community).

Submissions must be presented in MS-Word (docx) format. 

The templates for formatting full papers, abstracts, and industry reports are available below:

There is no formatting requirement for the workshop proposals. Submissions will be peer-reviewed, resulting in one of three possible outcomes: accepted for oral presentation, accepted for poster/lightning talks, rejected. All accepted contributions will be published in electronic symposium proceedings with ISBN. Submissions deadlines are as follows:

January 15, 2025: submissions open

March 31, 2025: submissions close

April 30, 2025: submissions close

May 15, 2025: outcome notification to authors

At least one author of each accepted contribution must register to the conference. The registration deadlines are as follows:

February 20, 2025: early bird registration opens

May 31, 2025: early bird registration closes

September 30, 2025: registration closes

Contributions related to a wide range of resilience engineering and resilient healthcare topics are welcome. They can be theoretical, empirical or a combination of those. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

1. Theoretical developments in resilience management

2. Strategies, tools, design, and interventions for translating resilience into practice

3. Adaptive capacity and self-organization in everyday work

4. Measurement of resilience

5. Policy-making and regulations supportive of resilience

6. Digital technologies supportive of resilience 

7. FRAM and other tools for modelling resilience in complex socio-technical systems
