Aims and Scope. Fundamental questions which are being asked these days of all products,
processes, and services with ever increasing frequency are:
What is the risk?
How safe is it?
How reliable is it?
How good is the quality?
How much does it cost?
This is particularly true as the government, industry, public, customers, and society e
increasingly informed and articulate.
In practice, none of the three topics can be considered in isolation as they all
interact and interrelate in plex and subtle ways, and require a range of
disciplines for their description and application; they pass the social,
engineering, and physical sciences and quantitative disciplines including mathe-
matics, probability theory, and statistics.
The major objective of the series is to provide series of authoritative texts suitable
for academic taught courses, reference purposes, postgraduate and other research
and practitioners generally working or strongly associated with areas such as:
Safety Assessment and Management
Emergency Planning
Risk Management
Reliability Analysis and Assessment
Vulnerability Assessment and Management
Quality Assurance and Management
Special emphasis is placed on texts with regard to readability, relevance, clarity,
applicability, rigor, and generally sound quantitative content.
