The 62nd ESReDA Seminar on
Managing the unexpected: designing systems to embrace
disorder for increasing asset reliability

Announcement and Call for papers

Scope of the seminar

Dealing with complex systems have certain characteristics that require consideration to be managed successfully. Understanding and dealing with unexpected events and the unknown are a major challenge in asset management.

Unexpected drifts from normal working conditions pose several concerns about the decrease of safety levels as well. Despite the enormous changes and developments in industry in the last decades as ‘an unprecedented fusion between and across digital, physical and biological technologies’, approaches for guaranteeing comparable safety and reliability improvement do not evolve quickly enough to offer adequate solutions in managing the mentioned complexity.

Complex assets require a different approach in dealing with unpredictable events and disorder. Consequently, it appears necessary, during the design phase of a complex system, to use tools and techniques for both withstanding stress (Kriete, 2013) and becoming stronger but without the necessity of predicting every circumstance. Referring to the work of Taleb (2012), reliability professionals are in need for ‘antifragile’ methods for embracing disruptive situations and unknowns.

The aim of the seminar is thus to discuss the state of the art and on-going developments in dealing with unexpected events for complex systems (i.e. infrastructures, energy production), presenting new techniques and methodologies and to discuss their strength, weakness, and uncertainties in order to improve reliability.

The 62nd ESReDA seminar will be held on April 12‐13, 2023, hosted by University of Twente, The Netherlands
