This book is a compilation of selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the 16th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM), which took place in Seville from October 5 to 7, 2022. The congress brought together experts from various fields to discuss and explore the latest trends, innovations, and challenges in engineering asset management.

The book covers a wide range of topics within the field, including:

Asset management and decision support systems: This section explores the role of asset management in decision-making processes, including the development and implementation of asset management systems. It also discusses the use of industry 4.0 tools and their impact on asset management practices.

Monitoring, diagnostics, and prognostics for smart maintenance: This section focuses on the use of advanced technologies such as sensors, data analytics, and machine learning to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of asset maintenance. It covers topics such as condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, and predictive maintenance.

Asset life cycle management: This section examines the various stages of an asset's life cycle, from design and construction to operation and maintenance. It discusses strategies for optimizing asset performance, reducing costs, and extending asset life.

Asset management in the industrial sector: This section explores the unique challenges and opportunities faced by industries such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation in asset management. It discusses best practices and case studies related to asset management in these sectors.

Human dimensions and asset management performance: This section examines the role of human factors in asset management, including factors such as employee engagement, safety, and productivity. It discusses strategies for improving asset management performance through human-centered design.

Infrastructure asset management: This section focuses on the management of infrastructure assets, including roads, bridges, buildings, and utilities. It discusses strategies for asset optimization, risk management, and resilience engineering.

Asset condition, risk, resilience, and vulnerability assessments: This section explores the methods and tools used to assess the condition, risk, resilience, and vulnerability of assets. It covers topics such as asset reliability analysis, risk assessment, and vulnerability modeling.

Asset operations and maintenance strategies: This section discusses the strategies and practices used for asset operations and maintenance, including maintenance planning, scheduling, and execution. It also covers asset performance monitoring, maintenance optimization, and asset life extension.

Reliability and resilience engineering: This section explores the principles and practices of reliability and resilience engineering, including the development of resilient systems and the management of risk in complex systems.

Applications of international and local guidelines and standards: This section discusses the importance of applying international and local guidelines and standards in asset management, including ISO 55000, API 570, and other industry-specific standards. It also covers the challenges and opportunities associated with the implementation of these guidelines and standards.

The breadth and depth of the state-of-the-art, comprehensive proceedings make this book an excellent resource for asset management practitioners, researchers, and academics, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students. The papers presented in this book cover a wide range of topics, providing valuable insights and perspectives on the latest developments in engineering asset management.

Overall, this book serves as a valuable reference for anyone interested in advancing their knowledge and expertise in engineering asset management. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field, covering both theoretical and practical aspects, and serves as a platform for fostering interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
