Reliability Engineering and Computational Intelligence for Complex Systems Design, Analysis and Evaluation

Coen van Gulijk re-joined TNO in the Netherlands after a five-year post as full professor at the University of Huddersfield at the school of computing and engineering. He remains academically active as a visiting professor at the school of computing and engineering at the University of Huddersfield. His work focuses on the IT transformation Risk Analysis and Safety Management Systems. The objective is to provide industries with modern IT business systems to support risk-based decision making and asset management and to deliver cost reductions, performance enhancements, and optimization in industry. The introduction of AI functionality in safety management software is of special interest. Coen received a Ph.D. degree chemical engineering, applying computational fluid dynamics for aerosol deposition in diesel exhaust gasses. He has produced over 100 scientific papers on various topics and edited and co-edited half a dozen of multi-author books and proceedings.

Elena Zaitseva received the M.S. degree in computer science from the Belarus State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics (BSUIR), Belarus, in 1989 and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from BSUIR in 1994. She worked as Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics of University of Zilina, Slovakia, from 2004 to 2015. Since 2015, she has been Professor at the same department. Her research interests include Reliability Analysis of Multi-state System, Fuzzy Decision Trees, and Decision Support Systems. She is Chair of the Technical Committee of European Safety and Reliability Association. She has more than 140 documents indexed in Scopus and more than 500 citations.

Miroslav Kvassay received the M.S. degree in information systems and the Ph.D. degree in applied informatics from the University of Zilina, Slovakia, in 2012 and 2015, respectively. From 2015 to 2019, he was Assistant Professor at the Department of Informatics of University of Zilina, Slovakia. Since 2019, he has been Associate Professor at the same department. His research interests include applications of Boolean and Multiple-Valued Logic in Reliability Analysis of Binary- and Multi-state Systems, respectively. He has more than 80 documents indexed in Scopus and more than 200 citations.
