This Journal is established with a view to cater to increased awareness for high quality research in the seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies to formulate bankable solutions to the emergent complex engineering problems. Assurance engineering could be thought of as relating to the provision of higher confidence in the reliable and secure implementation of a system's critical characteristic features through the espousal of a holistic approach by using a wide variety of cross disciplinary tools and techniques. Successful realization of sustainable and dependable products, systems and services involves an extensive adoption of Reliability, Quality, Safety and Risk related procedures for achieving high assurance levels of performance; also pivotal are the management issues related to risk and uncertainty that govern the practical constraints encountered in their deployment. It is our intention to provide a platform for the modeling and analysis of large engineering systems, among the other aforementioned allied goals of systems assurance engineering, leading to the enforcement of performance enhancement measures. Achieving a fine balance between theory and practice is the primary focus. Topics of interest include but not limited to: Engineering Asset Management, Reliability and Maintainability Engineering, Risk Analysis, LCC, Life Cycle management, maintenance Engineering, Maintenance management, Supply Chain management, Digitalization and Digital transformation, Data Science and Information logistics, AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language processing, IIoT, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Neural network, Software, and hardware architecture, etc. The Journal only publishes high quality papers that have passed the rigorous peer review procedure of an archival scientific Journal. .
