The 11th International Workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing

REC 2026 will be heled in Dortmund, Germany, on September 2-4, 2026

(dates are tentative)

REC2026 will provide a multi-disciplinary forum to bring together

various engineering and associated disciplines with the common

focus on methodologies and theories in the field of risk and

uncertainty.

As in the previous biennial REC-meetings, the central theme of the

discussions will be the reliability of engineering computations.

Covering a broad range of topics, REC2024 aims to address the

urgent need for innovative theories and advanced computational

approaches to ensure safety of engineering systems starting with

uncertainty quantification of input parameters.

Topics include but are not limited to:

* Uncertainty analysis and modeling

* Reliability analysis

* Risk analysis

* Reliability-based design

* Performance-based design

* Risk-informed decision-making

* Sustainability and resilience

* Risk and hazard mitigation

* Optimization under uncertainty

* Inverse problems

* Model reduction

* Surrogate models

* System and parameter identification

* Structural health monitoring

* Reliability analysis

* Risk analysis

* Reliability-based design

* Performance-based design

* Risk-informed decision-making

* Sustainability and resilience

* Risk and hazard mitigation

* Optimization under uncertainty

* Inverse problems

* Model reduction

* Surrogate models

* System and parameter identification

* Structural health monitoring

Methods and theories may include:

* Probability theory

* Stochastic approaches

* Bayesian theory

* Fuzzy set theory

* Imprecise probabilities

* Evidence theory

* P-box approach

* Fuzzy probability theory

* Interval analysis

* Fuzzy analysis

* Convex modeling

* Information gap theory

* AI and Machine Learning

Contributions are invited with emphasis on both theory and

applications.
