The 7th Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modeling(APARM 2016), which is a continuation of the series of successful workshops – AIWARM 2004(Hiroshima, Japan), AIWARM 2006(Busan, Korea), AIWARM 2008 (Taichung, Taiwan), APARM 2010(Wellington, New Zealand), APARM 2012(Nangjing, China), APARM 2014(Sapporo, Japan), will be held in Seoul, Korea, 24-26 August, 2016. APARM 2016 is a symposium of the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and its practice in reliability engineering, maintenance and related issues in the Asia-Pacific region. The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers, scientists and practitioners from Asia-Pacific to identify important and challenging problems and issues in the area of reliability and maintainability and work together to discover feasible solutions for these problems. The symposium will cover all the key topics in reliability, maintainability, and safety engineering. It will provide an indepth representation of theory and practice in these areas.
