Scope
APARM2024 (The 11th Asia-Pacific International Conference on Advanced Reliability andMaintenance Modeling) is the biennial reliability conference in the Asia-Pacific region. Its
purpose is to share advanced knowledge and information related to reliability and maintenance.
Reliability and maintenance is the technology required in various fields such as power systems,
communication networks, transportation, cloud computing, electronic systems, buildings andinfrastructure, medical and healthcare, aviation and railway systems. It is also the foundation ofa sustainable society. The goal of this conference is to bring together reliability researchers fromthe Asia-Pacific region to discuss and explore solutions to the various reliability challenges facing
society. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)- Manufacturing System Reliability- Software Reliability & Testing- Communication Systems- Reliability Modeling- Human Reliability- Bayesian Reliability- Fuzzy Reliability- Network Reliability & Optimization- Safety & Risk Assessment- Cyber Security- Security Issues- Internet Reliability Engineering- Service & Reliability- Estimation & Statistical Testing- Survival Analysis- Warranty Analysis- Resilience- Computer Systems Reliability- Design for Six Sigma- Fault Tolerant Computing- Maintenance Optimization- Maintainability & Availability- Reliability Physics- Accelerated Degradation Testing- Accelerated Life Testing- Big Data
- Data Mining & Analytics- Diagnostics- Prediction- Remaining Life Estimation- Condition Monitoring- Engineering Asset Management- Machine Health Assessment- Dynamic Reliability Analysis

Special Sessions
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for special sessions on focused
topics. Such a theme can be either a research topic, an application area, or a mixture of the two.
Examples of session topics include degradation models; health assessment of industrial
batteries; wind farm maintenance management; high-speed rail applications; uncertainty
modeling in construction management; etc.
A session proposal must include the following content- Session title- Session description of 100 to 150 words- Session organizers, affiliations, and e-mail addresses- Paper category for each paper submitted to the session (either full paper or abstract)- At least 4 names of invited speakers for the session and their tentative presentation titles.
- The publishing schedule will follow the full/abstract paper schedule.
Please submit your proposal in PDF or Word format to prog-aparm2024@ml.hiroshima-u.ac.jp(General Chairs of APARM2024).
