International Journal of Reliability, Risk and Safety: Theory and Application

Aims and Scope

International Journal of Reliability, Risk and Safety: Theory and Application (IJRRS) aims to develop and enhance research in theory and applications of reliability, risk and safety all over the world, to facilitate communication among researchers, to publish the results of research works. It also aims to provide an international forum for refereed original research works in these fields.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following topic areas: Methods for Reliability and Probabilistic Safety Assessment; Model and Parameter Uncertainties; Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainties, Sensitivity Analysis, Data Collection and Analysis; Physics of Failure; Engineering Judgments and Expert Opinions; Human Reliability; Test and Maintenance Policies; Models for Ageing and Life Extension; Systems Analysis of the Impact of Earthquakes, Fires, Tornadoes, Winds, Floods, etc.; Codes, Standards and Safety Criteria; Operator Decision Support Systems; Software Reliability; Methods and Applications of Automatic Fault Detection and Diagnosis; Dynamic Reliability; Design and Evaluation of Man-Machine Systems and Human Interfaces; Design Innovation for Safety and Reliability; Safety Culture; Accident Investigation and Management. The journal also does normally publish articles that involve the practical application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in all branches of reliability engineering, and using the fuzzy sets theory and related non-probabilistic methods that they contribute significantly to the solution of substantive problems related to the analysis of real systems.
