Description
With the much publicized industrial disasters which have occurred recently - Chernobyl and Piper Alpha - the importance of reliability and safety within industry has come to the forefront. These Proceedings are divided into three sessions as follows: industrial process control systems for safety applications, expert systems and diagnostics, and reliability procedures and guidelines. Papers were presented on the basics of reliability and availability theory, aiding techniques for example, expert systems, and software developments in a variety of areas, ranging from mathematics to engineering. These Proceedings will be a useful reference source for all those involved in the safety and maintenance of industrial systems.
