N2 - Resilience to a disruptive change in the ecological system is an essential property that makes our society sustainable. There seems to be a consensus among many researchers in various disciplines that diversity and adaptability are two of the key features of resilient systems to be able to persist in, recover from, or even reorganize as a response to, time of crises. However, it has yet to be unambiguously shown how these features stand together, complementary or otherwise, in providing resilience to an ecological system that involves the flow of energy between those that convert and supply it and those that consume. In this paper, we present an evolutionary multi-agent system for evaluating the effectiveness of these features and show several insights drawn from our preliminary results.
