Resilient systems

A resilient system rises despite adversity. Its logic opens a path to manage and implement positive change. By performing research not only with academic but also with business partners, the group designs socio-technical systems for a resilient digital transformation. Resilience in humans and its artifacts draws on the incompatibility principle, which reveals a need for fuzziness to grasp and cope with reality. World is imprecise, informatics precise, and fuzzy logic makes both fit.

Resilience and information systems engineering

We build resilient technology that empowers Switzerland to adapt and thrive through change. Comprised of experts from a multitude of disciplines, we are deeply committed to producing high-impact research. Within our group, graduate students work on their projects during a 3- to 4-year period, whilst either working at Human-IST or in their professional environment. They carry out research at our partners site but meet regularly to interact for the benefit of their research projects.
