内容説明

The proceedings of a conference organized by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Institute of Statisticians and the Safety and Reliability Society are detailed in this volume, which explores mathematical techniques for the modelling of large scale industrial accidents. The volume has been divided into three main sections, covering the treatment of failure estimation, the modelling of accident consequences and the evaluation of uncertainty in risk estimates.
