The MMR'97 will serve as a forum for discussing fundamental issues of the
reliability mathematical methods with respect to its applications in technical
domains (power engineering, electrotechnics, electronics and mechanics).
The idea of this conference is to assemble the university laboratories and
research institutions, in particular Applied Mathematics, Probability,
Statistics and Physics, working in the Reliability field, in Europe and
elsewhere. Both theoretical and practical contributions are sought, with
special emphasis on modeling and computer supported analysis aspects. It is
also interested to give the opportunity to Ph.D. students to participate and
exhibit their work. This conference is a supplement to the ESREL which is
quite industrially oriented. A special effort will be made to encourage the
young researches from the East European countries to participate. Our project
include the organization of this conference at two years, each time in a
different European country.
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 - 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
- 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.
