WORKING GROUP BRAINSTORMING & RECOMMENDATIONS:

The role of the working Groups, their discussions and recommendations are important and a key component of the Workshop. Recommendations of these Working Sessions along with the submitted papers will be published in a bound volume with ISBN Indexing.

US National Science Foundation has identified the following themes worthy of discussion and deliberations by the resilience research community. Thus, the following themes can provide a set of guidelines for the brainstorming sessions of the three working groups.

Please Note- Each Working Group should identify two Co-Chairs and a reporter. I have made the following TENTATIVE suggestions for Co-Chair and Reporters. At the meeting these may change, except for Dr. Haring, who has volunteered to Co-Chair Group 2.

1 - How to enhance understanding of the fundamental processes underlying natural hazards and extreme events on various spatial and temporal scales, as well as the variability inherent in such hazards and events-Suggested Co-Chairs and Reporter: Co-Chairs: Professors Cimellaro, Bruneau, Reporter: Dr. Didier

2 - How to improve our capability to model and forecast (including uncertainty quantifications of) such hazards and events by better understanding of infrastructure, combined with advances in modeling and smart technologies that promise an opportunity for groundbreaking discoveries to improve resilience---Suggested Co-Chairs and Reporter:- Co-Chairs: Dr. Haring and Professor Mufti, Reporter: Prf. Sextos

3 - How to enhance societal preparedness and societal resilience against the impacts of natural and man-made hazards by making sound research investments to better understand the technology that supports critical infrastructure and human-technology interactions. -Suggested Co-Chairs and Reporter: Co-Chairs: Professors: Taciroglu and Yoda, Reporter: Prf. Caverzan

In order to help you to prepare for these brainstorming sessions, Several Samples from a previous successful workshop held in Nanjing are attached as a guideline.

In addition, Dr. Ivo Harding has generously agreed to Co-Chair Working Session 2 and has provided suggestions and key Questions for leading these discussions. His proposed set of Questions and guidance for Working Session 2 are also attached for your information.
