Journal Title：Reliability Engineering & System Safety

Reliability Engineering and System Safety is an international journal devoted to the development and application of methods for the enhancement of the safety and reliability of complex technological systems, like nuclear power plants, chemical plants, hazardous waste facilities, space systems, offshore and maritime systems, transportation systems, constructed infrastructure and manufacturing plants. The journal normally publishes only articles that involve the analysis of substantive problems related to the reliability of complex systems or present techniques and/or theoretical results that have a discernable relationship to the solution of such problems. An important aim is to achieve a balance between academic material and practical applications.

The following topics are within the scope of the journal: methods for reliability and probabilistic safety assessment; model and parameter uncertainties; aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, sensitivity analysis, data collection and analysis; engineering judgement 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 does not normally publish articles that involve fuzzy sets and related non-probabilistic methods unless they contribute significantly to the solution of substantive problems related to the analysis of real systems.

The journal will contain contributed material in the form of original research papers, review articles, industrial case studies, safety recommendations, and short communications.

《可靠性工程與系統安全》是一本國際期刊，致力于開發和應用提高復雜技術系統（如核電站、化工廠、危險廢物處理設施、空間系統、海上和海事系統、運輸系統、建筑基礎設施和制造工廠）安全性和可靠性的方法。該期刊通常只發表涉及復雜系統可靠性實質性問題分析的文章，或與解決此類問題有明顯關系的現有技術和/或理論結果。一個重要的目標是在學術材料和實際應用之間取得平衡。

以下主題屬于該期刊的范圍：可靠性和概率安全評估方法；模型和參數不確定性；偶然和認知不確定性、敏感性分析、數據收集和分析；工程判斷和專家意見；人為可靠性；測試和維護政策；老化和壽命延長模型；地震、火災、龍卷風、風、洪水等影響的系統分析；規范、標準和安全標準；操作員決策支持系統；軟件可靠性；自動故障檢測和診斷的方法和應用；動態可靠性；人機系統和人機界面的設計和評估；安全性和可靠性的設計創新；安全文化；事故調查和管理。該期刊通常不會發表涉及模糊集和相關非概率方法的文章，除非它們對解決與實際系統分析相關的實質性問題有重大貢獻。

該期刊將以原創研究論文、評論文章、工業案例研究、安全建議和簡短通訊的形式包含投稿材料。
