The 8th International Workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing

REC'2018

July 16-18, 2018, University of Liverpool, UK

Overview:

The 8th International Workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing

(REC) is hosted by the Institute for Risk and Uncertainty at the

University of Liverpool. The theme this time is on "Computing with

Confidence", although contributions on efficient computing,

imprecise probability and Bayesian methods are also welcome.

Academic institutions, research organisations and industries are

invited to contribute to the Workshop and to join in the

discussions on needs and developments in the field.

Reliable Engineering Computing has emerged as a multi-disciplinary

quality brand with this conference series, which has been hosted

at Georgia Tech Savannah in 2004, 2006, and 2008, at the National

University of Singapore in 2010, at Brno University of Technology

in Brno, Czech Republic in 2012, at Illinois Institute of

Technology in Chicago in 2014, and Ruhr University Bochum, Germany

in 2016. The REC-meetings provide a unique symbiosis of various

engineering and associated disciplines with the kernel areas of

Civil/Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics.

Central issue of the discussions is the reliability of engineering

computations. Cross-disciplinary advisements generate synergy and

impulses of a new quality for research and development, as well as

for innovative applications.

REC'2018 is a fantastic opportunity for the Institute for Risk and

Uncertainty to gather international experts in the field of

Uncertainty Quantification and Risk Analysis and prove the

importance of such topics in data science and engineering. Being

able to trust computations and correctly analyse our data, even

when the data come from imprecise measurements, has become a major

issue in recent times. Industries both in Engineering and Data

Science face this issue on a daily basis, therefore it is

necessary to provide efficient in-hand tools to make good use of

numeric computations.

The focus of this Workshop will be on industrial problems, and we

very much welcome contributions that are directed to answer an

industrial need. Theoretical contributions from the broad Robust

Bayesian and non-parametric community are also welcome. As in

previous conferences, inputs from engineering, physical and

environmental sciences, as well as health and biological sciences

will be expected.

REC'2018, with its unique multi-disciplinary character, provides

an ideal platform to bring together a diverse group of experts and

to achieve advancements in the field of Reliable Engineering

Computing. The results of this conference will provide support for

translation of Reliable Engineering Computing into general

practice.
