29th European Safety and Reliability Conference

Description

The 29th edition of the European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL) is held on 22 – 26 September 2019 in Hannover, Germany. This annual, international conference is run under the auspices of the European Safety and Reliability Association (ESRA) to provide a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of knowledge and expertise on theories and methods in the field of risk, safety and reliability, with applications to a wide range of industrial, civil and social sectors.

The conference contributes to addressing the strong need of advancements in the fields of reliability, risk and safety assessment and management, to cope with the challenges emerging in today’s fast-developing World, where the interplay among technological, societal and financial systems need to be attentively considered. While evolving and revolutionary innovations emerge, such as smart cities and systems or autonomous transportation, new hazards and risks develop, e.g. related to cybersecurity, data management, systems complexity and interdependencies etc. In this challenging scenario, the 29th ESREL conference provides an opportunity to bring together professionals, academics, and individuals from institutions, industries and government agencies around the World to exchange information, share knowledge and discuss advancements in their research and practice.

The rich program of the conference offers 5 keynote speakers of international excellence, and 14 sessions with 10 parallel tracks for a total of 590 papers selected after rigorous peer-review, covering 19 methodological fields and 23 application areas, including (as “popular examples”) system reliability, structural reliability, mathematical methods in reliability and safety, risk assessment, maintenance modelling and applications, human factors and cyber security.
