MMR 2015 - Tokyo (The Ninth International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Reliability)

The theme of MMR2015 is “Advances in Reliability Theory and Engineering in Big Data Era.” It aims at enhancing international exchanges, at promoting advances in reliability theory and reliability engineering, and at organizing an international forum on emerging issues in reliability engineering and their applications.

The topics of MMR2015 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.
