Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Risk and reliability engineering are undergoing significant transformation with the rise of new technologies, such as model-based systems engineering (MBSE), model-based product design (MBPD), digital engineering, and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies offer unparalleled benefits to how systems are designed and how they operate, especially in relation to the reliability, safety, and other risks associated with the system. As a result, MDPI’s Systems journal has dedicated a Special Issue to the topic of risk and reliability in systems engineering.
This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and professionals to share their latest research findings, case studies, and developments in the areas of risk and reliability in systems engineering, including the emerging technologies of MBSE, MBPD, and AI. In addition to traditional topics such as risk analysis, reliability engineering, and systems safety, this Special Issue welcomes topics such as condition-based maintenance (CBM), system resilience, availability modeling, risk-based decision making, uncertainty modeling, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), and more. By addressing these emerging topics, the Special Issue will help to update readers on the latest developments in the field and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
The Special Issue welcomes original research papers, review articles, and case studies that address these topics of interest. All manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, ensuring that the articles selected for publication are of the highest quality.

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. Systems is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
