"Advanced resilience assessment & enhancement for complex engineering systems exposed to multi-hazards"

Call for Papers-"Advanced resilience assessment & enhancement for complex engineering systems exposed to multi-hazards"

Journal: Reliability Engineering & System Safety

Publisher: Elsevier

Submission Deadline: 28 Feb 2027

Key Requirements:

• Focus on complex engineering systems under multi-hazard conditions.

• Strong emphasis on resilience assessment, reliability modeling, AI-based prediction, and optimization.

• Natech events, cascading failures, and climate-related impacts are especially welcome.

Overview

This special issue looks at how complex engineering systems respond to simultaneous, cascading, or compounded hazards from natural disasters and anthropogenic threats. It highlights the need for advanced methods that can capture cross-scale failure propagation, dynamic performance changes, and resilience enhancement under multi-hazard stress. The issue welcomes work that combines reliability engineering, dynamic risk theory, AI, multi-scale modeling, and optimization.

Key Research Themes

• Disaster chain uncertainty, environmental parameters, and human factors.

• Deep learning and reinforcement learning for failure and reliability prediction.

• Dynamic performance assessment under evolving hazards.

• Multi-fidelity simulation and network modeling of interdependent systems.

• Reliability and resilience quantification under cascading disruptive events.

• AI-augmented resilience optimization.

• Climate-change effects and adaptation strategies for complex systems.

Submission Details

• Open for submission from 28-Feb-2026 to 28-Feb-2027.

• Submit through Editorial Manager.

• Select “VSI: RESS_Multi-hazard Resilience” at submission.

• Articles are peer reviewed and published online quickly after acceptance.
