Call for Contributions (Extended Abstracts)

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend and contribute to the 9th International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Reliability (MMR2015) which will take place in Tokyo, Japan, on June 1-4, 2015, hosted by the Reliability Engineering Association of Japan.

The MMR conferences serve as a forum for discussing fundamental issues on mathematical methods in reliability theory and its applications. It is a forum that brings together reliability engineers in various fields, quality and safety experts, statisticians and data scientists, from within a central focus on reliability. As a major international forum on reliability, it attracts increasing number of researchers from all continents of the world.

Topics of MMR2015

The topics of the Conference include (but are not limited to):

I. Probabilistic methods

Combinatorial & Graph methods (fault trees, binary decision diagrams, Petri-nets, etc.)
Stochastic processes
Markov & semi-Markov analysis
Stochastic Petri Nets
k-out-of-n systems
Consecutive k-out-of-n systems
Bound and Approximations
Phase type distributions
Failure Delay Systems
Risk & Safety assessment
Monte Carlo simulation
Computer-aided model generation

II. Statistical models

Parametric, non-parametric and semi-parametric estimations
Lifetime data analysis
Reliability Big Data
On-Line Monitoring
PHM (prognostic health management)
Tests and accelerated tests
Return of experience
Bayesian Reliability estimation
Statistical modeling analysis of repairable systems

III. Applications

Computational methods, computer-aided model generation, case studies and application software in technical systems: power engineering (power systems, thermal and nuclear power plants), electrotechnics (power apparatus), electronics and mechanics.
