Revisiting Priorities for Large-Scale Systems with Environmental and Pandemic Stressors

Aula "Funzione" - VEGA Parco Scientifico Tecnologico di Venezia

Prof. James H. Lambert, University of Virginia, USA

Luogo: 
​Aula "Funzione" al piano terra di Ca' Foscari Challenge School, presso il VEGA Parco Scientifico Tecnologico di Venezia, e online https://meet.google.com/foa-mjrx-ovk

Abstract:
The fundamentals of a risk/safety/security program are: What is the program scope? How are resources allocated? What is the monitoring and evaluation? This talk will address risk programs subject to environmental, pandemic, and other stressors. A variety of emergent and future conditions is able to disrupt priorities, including investments, assets, organizations, products, services, suppliers/partners, customers, policies/procedures, data, etc. Conditions include obsolescence, markets, regulations, environments, behaviors, ecosystems, demographics, missions, disinformation, agriculture, etc. Examples to be described include radiological emergency (USA and Brazil), coastal erosion (Alaska), energy and microgrids (USA), supply chains of aviation biofuels (NASA), electric vehicles and advanced chargers (Fermata LLC), freight and container ports (USA and worldwide), security of embedded hardware/software devices (USA), energy systems (USA, others), drought and water supply (USA, others), and economic development adjacent to highways and waterways (USA).
