SCOPE: The 2014 Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modeling (APARM 2014) will be held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, August 21-23, 2014. Based on the outstanding papers presented at the conference, we plan to edit a special issue of the Journal of Risk and Reliability: Proceedings of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers Part O (Publisher SAGE). Manuscripts submitted to the special issue should be substantial extensions of the original conference papers in order to be independent of the conference proceedings.

Topics of interest for APARM 2014 include, but are not limited to:

Accelerated Life Testing Bayesian Reliability
Communication Systems Computer Systems Reliability
Dependability Modeling Design for Six Sigma
Estimation and Statistical Tests Fault-tolerant Computing
Human Reliability Internet Reliability Engineering
Maintenance Modeling Maintenance Optimization
Network Reliability and Optimization Reliability Physics
Safety and Risk Assessment Security Issues
Software Reliability and Testing Service and Reliability
Systems Reliability Survival Analysis
Cyber Security Warranty Analysis Manufacturing
