Dear MORsians:

Are you a strategic thinker? Do you view resilience holistically? Do you wish to collaboratively contribute to planning our future? Then this event is for you! We ask you to join us for the MORS Workshop entitled, “Developing and Assessing Resilient Systems in Support of National Security”, 10-11 April 2018. Workshop details and register are at http://www.mors.org/Events/Special-Meetings/Developing-and-Assessing-Resilient-Systems-in-Support-of-National-Security-Missions.

This 2-day workshop on April 10 & 11, 2018 at the USACE in Vicksburg, MS is focused on the continued development of a resilience strategy within the National Security mission space. This workshop will focus on the resilience of critical infrastructure and deployable systems needed by US forces and supporting agencies to meet operational requirements. It will also examine external forces, such as environmental and political factors, that impact the critical system performance or are the drivers of these missions. The US Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Research and Development Center (USACE ERDC), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and the Collaboratory for Resiliency and Recovery at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) are assisting in this event.

On behalf of my co-chairs, Dr. John Hummel, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and Dr. Jennifer Schneider, Collaboratory for Resiliency and Recovery at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), we would encourage you to share this opportunity with colleagues working in this domain and to consider attending. The event will be limited to 90 participants so we encourage you to register soon.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Very Respectfully,
Simon
