Today, engineering systems are an important element of the world economy and each year billions of dollars are spent to develop, manufacture, operate, and maintain various types of engineering systems around the globe. Many of these systems are highly sophisticated and contain millions of parts. For example, a Boeing jumbo 747 is made up of approximately 4.5 million parts including fasteners. Needless to say, reliability, safety, and maintenance of systems such as this have become more important than ever before. Global competition and other factors are forcing manufacturers to produce highly reliable, safe, and maintainable engineering products. Therefore, there is a definite need for the reliability, safety, and maintenance professionals to work closely during design and other phases. Engineering Systems Reliability, Safety, and Maintenance: An Integrated Approach eliminates the need to consult many different and diverse sources in the hunt for the information required to design better engineering systems.

This book contains a selection of papers presented at the "European Robotics and Intelligent Systems Conference" (EURISCON '91) held in Corfu. Greece (June 23-28. 1991). It is devoted to the analysis. design and applications of technological systems with built-in intelligence achieved through appropriate blending of mathematical, symbolic. sensing. computer processing. and feedback control concepts. methods and software / hardware tools. System intelligence includes human-like capabilities such as learning. observation. perception. interpretation. reasoning. planning. decision making. and action. Integrated intelligent decision and control systems obey Saridis' prinCiple of Increasing Precision with Decreasing Intelligence (IPDI). and have a hierarchical structure with three basic levels. namely Organization. Coordination. and Execution Levels. As we proceed from the organization to the execution level. the precision about the jobs to be completed increases and accordingly the intelligence reqUired for these jobs decreases. As an example. it is mentioned here that in an intelligent robotic system the organization tasks can be realized using a neural net. the coordination tasks by a Petri net. and the execution tasks by local sensors and actuators. The field of intelligent systems is a new interdisciplinary field with continuously increasing interest and expansion. It is actually the outcome of the synergetic interaction and cooperation of classical fields such as system theory. control theory. artificial intelligence. operational research. information theory. electronics. communications. and others.

This book offers insight into the current issues of the merger between reliability engineering and computational intelligence. The intense development of information technology allows for designing more complex systems as well as creating more detailed models of real-world systems which forces traditional reliability engineering approaches based on Boolean algebra, probability theory, and statistics to embrace the world of data science. The works deal with methodological developments as well as applications in the development of safe and reliable systems in various kinds of distribution networks, in the development of highly reliable healthcare systems, in finding weaknesses in systems with the human factor, or in reliability analysis of large information systems and other software solutions. In this book, experts from various fields of reliability engineering and computational intelligence present their view on the risks, the opportunities and the synergy between reliability engineering and computational intelligence that have been developed separately but in recent years have found a way to each other. The topics addressed include the latest advances in computing technology to improve the real lives of millions of people by increasing safety and reliability of various types of real-life systems by increasing the availability of software services, reducing the accident rate of means of transport, developing high reliable patient-specific health care, or generally, save cost and increase efficiency in the work and living environment. Though this book, the reader has access to professionals and researchers in the fields of reliability engineering and computational intelligence that share their experience in merging the two as well as an insight into the latest methods, concerns and application domains.
