The 9th International Conference on Modelling in Industrial Maintenance and Reliability (MIMAR) will take place in London, UK from 12-14 July 2016. This event is the premier maintenance and reliability modelling conference in the UK and builds upon a very successful series of previous conferences. It is an excellent international forum for disseminating information on the state-of-the-art research, theories and practices in maintenance and reliability modelling and offers a platform for connecting researchers and practitioners from around the world. Abstract and paper submission deadlines are listed below. All submissions are subject to rigorous review before an acceptance decision is made. We hope you can attend and we will provide a warm welcome in London in 2016.
Papers on:
