1st UK Reliability Meeting, 2019
The 1st UK Reliability Meeting will take place at Durham University 1–3 April 2019. The objective is to develop an annual meeting series to bring together researchers and practitioners in reliability theory from across the UK. Of course, participants from outside the UK are also welcome!
The meeting combines postgraduate lectures on basic aspects of reliability theory and applications with a workshop. Eight postgraduate lectures will be presented by academic staff from leading UK academic Reliability groups, including from the universities of Durham, Liverpool, Loughborough, Nottingham and Strathclyde.
The workshop will enable academic staff, students and practitioners to present their recent or ongoing research or to discuss open problems, probably in presentations of about 20 minutes and only requiring a title and abstract. The aim is to leave ample time for discussions. There are also two key-note lectures by leading experts in reliability.
