The Bayesian network (BN) is a powerful model for probabilistic knowledge representation
and inference and is increasingly used in the field of reliability evaluation. This paper …

Current industry standards for estimating cybersecurity risk are based on qualitative risk
matrices as opposed to quantitative risk estimates. In contrast, risk assessment in most other …

The system of systems (SoS) theory is an important topic in modern systems engineering
management. Previous studies focus mainly on using it to explore large-scale physical …

The ongoing digital transformation enables the collection of a vast amount of data from the
maintenance and production processes. Hence, the techniques traditionally applied for …

This paper focuses on failure analysis using two techniques developed from Failure Mode
and Effect Analysis (FMEA), one of the most used methodologies to determine causes and …

Traceability information systems in food supply chains (FSCs) can suffer from information
loss, and this can cause food safety crises and economic downturns around the world …

Abstract Industry 4.0 and advanced technology, such as sensors and human–machine
cooperation, provide new possibilities for infusing intelligence into failure analysis. Failure …

Several methods have been proposed to handle uncertainty issues, including process
uncertainty and parameter uncertainty, in stochastic-process based degradation modeling …

Planning and deploying reliable Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMSs) is of increasing
interest to both scholars and practitioners. High system reliability goes hand in hand with …

Maintenance logs of industrial equipment record descriptive and unstructured operation and
maintenance (O&M) information, which is the basis of reliability, availability, and …
