JRSE发布创刊以来的第一期特刊征稿：“Special Issue on System Reliability and Safety in Varying and Extreme Environments”，多变及极端环境下的系统可靠性与安全性。

        可靠性与安全性是系统运转的关键特性。多变及极端环境中复杂系统可靠性研究的理论与方法，与传统环境中所应用的理论与方法明显不同。在深海、深地、深空等环境中，超高压力、极端温度（高温或低温）、强烈电磁场与辐射场、高湿度以及极端载荷等极端环境条件，对复杂系统的可靠性与安全性提出了新的、更严格的要求。另一方面，工程系统的服役环境随时间发生变化而出现复杂的失效与退化行为，要求我们必须发展新的可靠性与安全性理论与方法，以及测试与仿真技术，确保在实践中得到有效、稳健的应用。

        本特刊关注多变及极端环境中复杂系统的可靠性与安全性方法、物理/数学与数据驱动模型、可靠性测试、系统寿命预测与性能评估、智能运维等领域，旨在搭建一个学术交流平台，发表多变及极端条件下工程系统可靠性与安全性保障的最新研究成果，支持可靠性、安全性的科学与工程发展。

        Reliability and safety are crucial attributes of system operation. The supporting theories and methodologies to deal with complex systems in varying and extreme environments differ significantly from those applied in traditional environments. Extreme environmental conditions such as ultra-high pressures, extreme temperatures (both high and low), intense electromagnetic and radiation fields, as well as high humidity and extreme loads in deep sea, deep earth, deep space and other such environments, pose new and more stringent requirements on the reliability and safety of complex systems. On the other hand, the working environment inevitably changes over time, leading to complicated failure and degradation behaviors of engineered systems. Such real context of operation necessitates the development of novel reliability and safety theories and methodologies, and techniques of testing and simulation, for their effective and robust application in practice.

        This special issue focuses on reliability and safety methods, physical/mathematical and data-driven models, reliability testing, system lifetime prediction and performance evaluation, intelligent operation and maintenance of complex systems in varying and extreme environments. The objective of the special issue is to establish a platform of exchange of the latest research on the reliability and safety assurance of engineered systems under varying and extreme condition, in support to the advancement of reliability and safety science and engineering.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Advances in safety and reliability theories and methodologies for complex systems under varying and extreme service/natural conditions
• Novel fault diagnosis and health management of complex systems under varying and extreme service/natural conditions
• Advances in reliability testing and modelling of complex systems under varying and extreme service/natural conditions
• Engineering application of novel reliability and safety methodologies on complex systems under varying and extreme service/natural conditions
• Reliability and safety of complex systems at extreme spatiotemporal scales, such as critical infrastructures, ultra large spacecraft and ultra small systems represented by micro nano robots
• Integration of advanced algorithms (e.g., machine learning, AI, Multi-source data fusion) for complex systems reliability and safety assessment under varying and extreme service/natural conditions
