Padua is one of the oldest cities in Italy. In ancient times, Padova achieved a victory over the Spartans before it was conquered by the Romans and received the town charter. In the Middle Ages, Padua was an independent city state, like many of its neighbouring cities, but was ruled by a Podesta of the emperor. 

In 1405 the city finally fell to Venice, in 1797 to Napoleon, and finally to Austria. With one of the oldest universities in the world officially founded on 1222, Padua was always an intellectual and artistic centre, wich brought many art treasures to the city and made it a hotbed of revolutionary ideas.

ABSTRACT

Budgets for Complex Systems, such as in Aerospace and Defense, are shrinking and human resources are becoming critical, but operational needs to face new threats and operational availability requirements of these Systems are increasing. This requires a new approach - based on operational availability requirements - for the design of the primary and associated support system, to achieve the best balance between Operative Availability and Life Cycle Costs. Since that the performances of the systems are to be maintained during the in-service phase, the key elements to consider is the integration between predictions derived from logistic databases, prognostics and field feedback measurements. The goal of this Special Session is show the last researches and in particular the new methods, models and integrated design processes in this field.
