We are thrilled to announce that our faculty mentor, Dr. Bryan Watson, along with co-authors Isabella Hernandez, Marc Weissburg, and Bert Bras, had their paper selected as an Editor’s Choice by the INCOSE Systems Engineering Journal!
Their paper employed biologically inspired design to outline key steps for enhancing system resilience. By performing functional decomposition of eusocial insect colonies, they developed innovative approaches to strengthen the emergent resilience of multi-agent systems. Their work resulted in two major contributions: the recognition of six generalized functions which can be applied to systems to increase resilience, and a methodology to identify and translate insect behavior into generalized guidelines for designing resilient systems. They supported their work with a case study, by applying their identified functions to an emergency power service system and suggesting methods to improve its resilience. Their paper contributed several insights to the field of systems engineering, and we are proud to have it recognized by INCOSE!
Congratulations Dr. Watson!
