The word “resilience” is increasingly popular to designate some properties we want from systems. When we use this word, do we all mean the same concept? Or the same set of multiple concepts? How do we know when we've achieved it, or them, or a certain amount of them? To design systems, write contracts, or manage organizations, we need some common view about all this.
