Subsequent speakers will consider t he resilience of electrical power supplies\, communication systems and the software that underpins much of modern life. This introductory presentati on will provide an overview of the key concepts and definitions necessary to a discussion of resilience\, including reliability\, risk and exposure to rare but potentially devastating events.\n\nThe second speaker will con sider the Resilience of the Fuel Supply for New Zealand’s Electricity Ge neration System. With the transition of the New Zealand electricity genera tion system to renewables\, away from carbon rich fuels\, the question nee ds to be asked is the renewables “fuel tank” adequate to keep the ligh ts ON\, during major long term (3 months and longer)\, system wide events\ , i.e.: droughts\, DC Link failures\, dam failures\, etc?\n\nThe third spe aker will address issues related to the resiliency of the telecommunicatio ns capability in New Zealand and whether it is adequate to meet public exp ectations for critical life\, safety and wellbeing outcomes in the face of severe disruptive events. What are the lessons we can learn from lack of resiliency that has been demonstrated during recent disruptive weather eve nts? Are there cost effective ways to ensure that a minimum capability is maintained during any adverse condition event?\n\nContinuing with the resi lience theme the forth speaker will address the issues related to resilien cy in regard to the software that we all rely on in our daily lives. Shoul d we expect systems and technology which depend on the use of software for their satisfactory operation to be capable of operation under severe adve rse conditions? Is software inherently resilient or what can we do to make it more resilient?\n\nAfter the presentations\, there will be ample time for the audience to ask questions of the presenters either from the floor or via the chat function.\n\nSpeakers\n\nThe panel of speakers will consis t of the following in order of presentation:\n\nProfessor Bob Hodgson\, Li fe Member IEEE\, Distinguished Fellow ENZ\nKieran Devine\, Life Member IEE E\, Fellow ENZ\nDr Murray Milner\, Life Member IEEE\, Distinguished Fellow ENZ\nDuncan Hall\, Life Member IEEE\, Distinguished Fellow ENZ\n\nCo-spon sored by: IEEE New Zealand Central Section\n\nSpeaker(s): \, \, \, \n\nAge nda: \nThe New Zealand Joint Life Members Affinity Group will host a semin ar on "What is Resilience and Why is it so elusive in New Zealand?"
