14th WCEAM Proceedings

This book gathers selected peer-reviewed papers from the 14th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM), which was held in Singapore on 28-31 July 2019, as well as papers presented during the 1st WCEAMOnline event which focused on the ramifications of Covid-19 on infrastructure systems.

This book covers a wide range of topics in engineering asset management, including:

• asset management services provisioning;
• servitization;
• decision-making;
• asset management systems;
• industrial Internet of things; and
• vulnerability and resilience of infrastructure systems. 

The breadth and depth of these state-of-the-art, comprehensive proceedings make them an excellent resource for asset management practitioners, researchers and academics, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students.
