The Bilal M. Ayyub Research Prize for Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems for the Best Paper in Part B of the Journal goes to Youngjun Kwon and Junho Song for their paper “System-Reliability-Based Disaster Resilience Analysis of Infrastructure Networks and Causality-Based Importance Measure” DOI: 10.1115/1.4062682 , published in the September Issue of Part B in 2023.
The award will be given during the International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) , held at the Oregon Convention Center, Portland, OR, November 17–21, 2024. We congratulate the winners with highest appreciation and thanks for their outstanding contributions to the journal. My greatest thanks go to all authors who have contributed their high-quality papers to our journal, which has made the award selection a very difficult challenge. I would like express my sincere thanks to the award panels for assessing the papers in a rigorous and robust manner.
The 4th International Conference on Vulnerability & Risk Analysis & Management & The 8th International Symposium on Uncertainty Modelling & Analysis ASCE-ICVRAM-ISUMA 2024 was held in Shanghai end of April with great success. Our Journal is hosting a Special Collection on Vulnerability Analysis, Risk Management, and Uncertainty Modelling Analysis to facilitate the publication of extended papers from the conference and other topically related papers. Submission deadline is July 31, 2024.
Please contact the Editor or the Managing Editors by email if you have an interest to guest edit a special collection (Part A) or a special issue (Part B).
Both Part A and Part B are listed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index by Clarivate Analytics , formerly Thomson Reuters, with Part A being indexed since 2019. From 2016 onward, all articles are included in Web of Science and Scopus .

EARLY CAREER EDITORIAL BOARD
Starting in 2020, the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems in its two parts has implemented the Early Career Editorial Board (ECEB) program to bring young members onboard its editorial board under the mentorship of the journal leadership.
ECEB members typically have a net academic age of 1-3 years. The term of an ECEB member is 2 years with the possibility for renewal into a second term. We welcome eight new ECEB members, who have been appointed for the next two years.Â
