Aims and scope

In the quarterly Eksploatacja i Niezawodność – Maintenance and Reliability there are published articles containing original results of experimental and simulation research on dependability, availability, reliability, durability, efficiency, risk and safety of technical items and complex systems. For publication there are considered articles presenting relevant assessments, analyses and experiments supported by real and physical interpretation of causes or outcomes, which have been verified empirically. In the journal there are published high quality articles on innovative modelling, novel approaches and enhanced research methods from the above mentioned technical fields.

The following research areas are mainly relevant to the journal:

• degradation processes of technical and antropo-technical systems,
• diagnosis and prognosis of operational malfunctions, faults and failures.
• analysis of failure risk
• reliability-and-environmental-safety engineering in the design, manufacturing and maintenance of items and complex systems,
• management and rationalization of items and complex systems maintenance,
• risk and safety management in the processes of operation and maintenance,
• reliability and efficiency of logistics processes,
• human factor and human reliability in systems operation and maintenance.
