FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT 3rd National Conference on Reliability and Safety Engineering (NCRS-2016) December 01-03, 2016 DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS, SSN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, CHENNAI & SOCIETY FOR RELIABILITY AND SAFETY(SRESA), MUMBAI – CHENNAI CHAPTER Reliability and safety are given utmost importance during the design and operation of all engineering systems. Phenomenal progress has been made in this area to study, characterize, measure and analyze the failure, repair and reduce the consequences of failure thus improving the operational use by increasing their design life. The need for higher reliability and safety is emphasized due to some factors like increased product complexity; public awareness; cost of failure, damage and warranty; safety considerations with undesirable consequences. This conference aims to bring together people working in the field of reliability and safety. We welcome Scientists, Academicians, Industrial Experts, Research Scholars and Students to submit papers to the conference. About the Organizers Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering (SSNCE) is the outcome of the vision and initiative of Dr. Shiv Nadar, Chairman, HCL Technologies and a pioneer in the field of Information Technology. The Institution stands out as a premier centre of higher learning with a mission of pursuing excellence in education and research. SSN institutions, with its diverse and dynamic community of students offers a distinctive combination of some of the finest undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes. The institution is certified with ISO and accredited by NBA. SSN institution has been consistently proving its class by retaining the top position among all affiliated colleges in Tamilnadu. Society for Reliability and Safety (SRESA), Mumbai was established in the year 2010 with an objective to promote and develop reliability and safety engineering sciences. The society delivers reliability and safety engineering courses and services for any kind of energy systems like nuclear and thermal power plants, research reactors and other industrial plants like nuclear irradiators, reprocessing plants, conventional process and chemical industry.
