The International Workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing (REC) has served as a distinctive multidisciplinary forum for more than two decades, bringing together researchers from engineering, mathematics, computer science and statistics with the shared objective of advancing the reliability of engineering computations. This volume collects the contributions to the 11th edition, REC 2026, hosted by TU Dortmund University under the theme Reliability Computations in a Data and Model-Driven World.
The proceedings comprise 51 peer-reviewed papers organised into eight thematic sessions: artificial intelligence, explainability and scientific machine learning; reliability analysis and sensitivity methods; hybrid, imprecise and set-based uncertainty; spatial and temporal uncertainties; Bayesian inference, active learning and surrogate modelling; engineering applications and monitoring; stochastic dynamics and computational methods; and rare events, reliability and optimization. Abstracts of four keynote and two junior-keynote lectures are also included.
Together, the contributions address a central question: how can data-driven methods and machine learning be integrated with established engineering principles and physical modelling so that computational predictions remain transparent, trustworthy and scientifically sound? Applications range from structural and mechanical systems to infrastructure, materials, robotics and environmental problems, reflecting the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of modern research on reliability and uncertainty quantification.
