Advances in Reliability Modeling, Optimization and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Theis Special Issue of Mathematics, entitled Advances in Reliability Modeling, Optimization and Applications, is focused on the development and application of new mathematic methodologies for the enhancement of reliability systems in multiple fields including electronics and industrial engineering. The objective is to foster a rich exchange among researchers and practitioners in the engineering, mathematics and statistics communities. An interesting aspect to take into account is the development of new methodologies to solve real-life problems that can cause significant damage.

The following topics are within the scope of this Special Issue: methods for reliability and probabilistic safety assessment; matrix-analytic methods in reliability; complex systems; non-parametric methodology in reliability; engineering judgement and expert opinions; maintenance policies; models for ageing and life extension; dynamic reliability; methods and applications of automatic fault detection and diagnosis; repairable systems and repairment policies; design innovation for safety and reliability; order reliability methods; coherent systems.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
