Performability Engineering Series Series Editors: Krishna B. Misra ([email protected])
Scope: A true performance of a product, or system, or service must be judged over the entire life cycle activities connected with design, manufacture, use and disposal in relation to the economics of maximization of dependability, and minimizing its impact on the environment. The concept of performability allows us to take a holistic assessment of performance and provides an aggregate attribute that reflects an entire engineering effort of a product, system, or service designer in achieving dependability and sustainability. Performance should not just be indicative of achieving quality, reliability, maintainability and safety for a product, system, or service, but achieving sustainability as well. The conventional perspective of dependability ignores the environmental impact considerations that accompany the development of products, systems, and services.
However, any industrial activity in creating a product, system, or service is always associated with certain environmental impacts that follow at each phase of development. These considerations have become all the more necessary in the 21st century as the world resources continue to become scarce and the cost of materials and energy keep rising. It is not difficult to visualize that by employing the strategy of dematerialization, minimum energy and minimum waste, while maximizing the yield and developing economically viable and safe processes (clean production and disposal at the end of the life. This is basically the goal of performability effect on the environment during production and disposal at the end of the life. This is basically the goal of performability engineering.
It may be observed that the above-mentioned performance attributes are interrelated and should not be considered in isolation for optimization of performance. Each book in the series should endeavor to include most, if not all, of the attributes of this web of interrelationship and have the objective to help create optimal and sustainable products, systems, and services.

Series Editor Preface
The Figure given below represents the concept of performability as introduced by the editor in 2005 and reflects a holistic view of designing, producing, using, and disposing products, systems or services, which will satisfy not only the basic operational requirements to the best possible extent with minimum cost, but are also sustainable. Sustainability aspect of products, systems and services includes that they consume minimum material and energy in their production, use and disposal and produce minimum waste in order to create minimum environmental impact which is of prime importance and requirement in the 21st Century. In other words, it should represent the holistic performance.
In fact, the concept of performability and sustainable development are closely interlinked. To promote the concept to wider section of engineering community, consisting of planners, designers, manufacturers, researchers, technologists and users, the Editor published the first book on performability engineering in 2008 [1]. The book consisted of 76 chapters with 100 contributors and touching on all aspects of performability with the Editor himself contributing 15 chapters. The response to this book has been overwhelming with more than 495,445 chapter downloads to the end of 2019. A German company, ResearchGate, which keeps track of chapters, books etc., read by people the world over, reports that the main chapters authored by the Editor himself had the following statistics as of June 04, 2020:
