Special Section on Computational Reliability in Engineering and Science.

When reliability and maintenance issues are dealt for real applications, we often encounter a number of problems related to modeling and optimization. Reliability and maintenance modeling with optimization plays an essential role for the quantitative analysis, and is considered as a significant application domain in Computational Science. We report the Special Section on Computational Reliability in Engineering and Science, and summarize the papers accepted in Journal of Computational Science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
