Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reliability management addresses the estimation, prevention, and management of high levels of “lifetime” engineering uncertainty and risks of failure, which has been widely used in various industries to identify and eliminate potential risks. Several different reliability management instruments have been designed, such as failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) and fault tree analysis (FTA), etc. The implementation of reliability management usually requires the participation of multiple experts due to the complexity of the analysis object. Moreover, it is difficult for reliability management experts to express their risk assessments in an accurate way. The fusion of imprecise risk assessments associated with multiple experts is a basic issue of reliability management. Group decision making is focused on the fusing of individual assessments, which has achieved some new progress in recent years. Therefore, integrating the new progresses of group decision making into reliability management is a promising research paradigm.
This Special Issue aims to invite prospective authors to contribute high-quality research papers on the latest developments and applications of reliability management, decision analysis, or hybrid models in the broad fields.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
