TOPICS IN SAFETY, RISK, RELIABILITY AND QUALITY Volume 24 Editor Adrian V. Gheorghe, Old Dominion University Norfolk, VA, USA Editorial Advisory Board P. Sander, Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands D. C. Barrie, Lakehead University, Ontario, ON, Canada R. Leitch, Royal Military College of Science (Cranfield), Shriverham, UK 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 become increasingly informed and articulate. In practice none of the three topics can be considered in isolation as they all interact andinterrelate in very complex and subtle ways and require a range of disciplines for their description and application; they encompass the social, engineering and physical sciences and quantitative disciplines including mathematics, probability theory and statistics. The major objective of the series is to provide a series of authoritative texts suitable for academic taught courses, reference purposes, post graduate 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, rigour and generally sound quantitative content.
