Preface
The ICRESH-ARMS 2015 Conference at Luleå was an important milestone in the
historyofactivitiesoftheDivisionofOperationandMaintenance,LuleåTechnical
University. It was hosted by the Operation and Maintenance Division at LTU and
had considerable participation both from the division and the university. This
conference was also successful in attracting a fairly large number of researchers
worldwidetodeliverinvitedtalks,presentpapers,andattendtheexcitingsessions.
There was a good interest in participation from the industries around that saw an
opportunity to interact with engineers, researchers, academicians, and managers
who are at the forefront of related technologies in reliability, operation and main-
tenance, condition monitoring, risk and safety in various domains, eg.
Manufacturing, Transportation, Defense, Power, Mining, and the IT sector. In
particular, there was significant interest in Railway infrastructure and asset man-
agement. Condition-based maintenance with emphasis on diagnostics, prognostics
and health management, and maintenance of large engineering systems and their
implications to risk and safety were another area where the industry and academia
found common interest. A growing interest in the use of nonrenewable energy
sources saw several presentations from India highlighting various risk and safety
issues besides quantitative risk assessment. Some papers reflect active interest in
industry in big data analytics and context-based thinking for decision making and
signified a growing awareness amongst industries to adapt to new technologies.
Mining and Railways were two domains with significant local interest in Sweden
and saw various presentations in innovative approaches to long-term solutions
related to aging, health management, and prognostics. Modeling and Simulation
saw increasing applications in various industrial domains and a growing trend
amongresearcherstodevelopaholisticandintegratedapproachtoaddressvarious
conflicting issues of reliability, risk, production, and cost. An important highlight
