Talk:Resilience
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What does resilience mean in the context of distributed computing?
Resilience is a general property of systems - makes sense to keep a united page and then a link to field specific definitions. Currently all but ecology def'n are weak.
I removed it from the beginning of the chapter about Ecology, becouse it doesn't make sense to me... but as non-English speaker I am may be wrong... consider this change.
[edit] Network Resilience
Why is network resiliance being redirected to an external URL?
The external URL in question is to the wiki of an international research initiative on network resilience, which contains far more information relevant to this topic than can be placed on this page. Justin P. Rohrer 14:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Resilience is a term used in both technology and with nature. i.e. Resilent computer network/software systems. Howver so do humans and nature show resilience on how they react to life's overwhemling situations and over come them.
So I highly recommend splitting off this topic into two main streams:
Technology Biological ~ nature and humans
Great to see the topic grow here.

[edit] Copyvio
I've removed the "Resiliency applied to the critical infrastructure" section (three, Jan 14 edits by Don O'Neill), because it appears to be a copyright violation of this material [1]. --Ronz 16:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation
I agree with whoever put up the request to make a disambiguation page and split off the sections. --Selket Talk 06:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- I also agree to this suggestion.--DorisH 21:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, too. --67.170.239.115 02:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I disagree - resilience is a term that is used very loosely, and if the one page has the various types of resilience/ fields that the term is used in, it is easier to determine exactly how to use the term for the purpose you want, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.202.70.205 (talk) 23:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
The Resiliance Modulus section of this page deserves its own seperate page under continuum mechanics as it is an important scientific term that really has no other meaning than for the specific purpose of material testing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryangel (talk • contribs) 05:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- As of now, I'm splitting the page. I'm leaving the material science section here and moving other items to their own page. All can be found on the new Resilience (disambiguation) page, linked from all, which will address the concern raised by the anon IP above. --AndrewHowse (talk) 16:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
