Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the first edition, this Special Issue continues to explore advancements in reliability analysis, focusing on both theoretical developments and practical applications. As reliability remains a critical factor across various industries—from consumer products and healthcare to manufacturing, software engineering, and environmental systems—this Special Issue seeks to showcase cutting-edge research that addresses the optimization of system reliability. Ensuring the consistent performance of systems under specified conditions is essential, as unexpected failures can lead to severe consequences, including safety hazards and operational disruptions.
This Special Issue invites contributions on topics such as the following:
- Reliability analysis and prediction for complex systems.
- Mathematical models for maintenance optimization.
- Renewal processes and their applications.
- Innovations in fault tree analysis methodologies.
- Bayesian approaches to reliability.
- Dynamic reliability models and their implications.
- Multi-state system analysis.
- Non-parametric methods in reliability studies.
- Reliability data analysis and interpretation.
We encourage submissions that provide new insights into reliability theory, as well as practical applications aimed at improving system dependability across a wide range of fields.

Manuscript Submission Information
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.
