 d resilience. The workshop will be part presentation\, part discussion and
  the aims of the workshop are to\n\n(i) Identify factors which drive the n
 eed for a resilience perspective on DROPS \n\n(ii) Capture key aspects of 
 DROPS requiring some degree of resilience through spatial analyses (mappin
 g) \n\n(iii) Determine barriers to effective resilience \n\n(iv) Capture c
 ase examples of effective/ineffective resilience in disasters   \n\nThe wo
 rkshop activities will result in a DROPS White Paper by March 2017. As a w
 orkshop participant\, you will be requested to provide feedback on the dra
 ft document. You will receive a copy of the White Paper and your contribut
 ion will be acknowledged.\n\nTopics covered will include:\n \n- Spatial an
 alyses / mapping of supply chain operations in the face of disasters (Mon\
 , Wed) \n\n- Criteria for DROPS (Mon-Fri) \n\n- Frameworks / approaches to
  resilience in disasters (Tue\, Wed) \n\n- Role of big data/analytics in e
 nabling DROPS (Wed\, Thu) \n\n- Future directions for DROPS (Wed\, Fri) - 
 Case studies (Mon-Fri)
