REC2021 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, REC2021 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

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

Contributions are invited with emphasis on both theory and applications.

• All abstracts and papers will be peer-reviewed
• Authors will retain the copyright of their papers
• There will be no brick book to carry home after the conference

Submitted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and also will be available on-line (Open Access) from the conference web site. After the conference, selected papers will be published in a special issue of a selected journal. The papers will go through the normal refereeing process.
