Preface: Reliability and dependability modeling analysis for complex systems

Abstract

Happiness of mankind depends upon the effective relationship between the past, present and the future. Past gives us experience and in the present, we embrace the truths that have been generally
agreed upon by society. The experience and knowledge gained from the past and present helps us in our future plans and desires with which we can light our brighten future. This thought emphasizes the
value of research such as one had the innovative ideas associated with it. This special issue on â€Reliability and Dependability Modeling Analysis for Complex Systems†to the journal Mathematics in
Engineering, Science and Aerospace (MESA) related to various reliability fields like critical system design reliability, risk assessment and analysis, reliability growth and prediction, safety engineering, human factors and collaborative aspects, systems and software safety and security, modeling and simulation
techniques is primarily devoted to the research papers appropriate for reliability. The original research articles concerning new research on reliability theory with particular prominence were received
from all over the world and selected articles were drastically extended after double blind peer review process.
