This book is dedicated to Jinhua Cao on the occasion of his 80th birthday. The title “Stochastic Models in Reliability, Network Security and System Safety” reflects the research interests and achievements of this outstanding scientist. We emphasize that one of Jinhua’s main contributions to China is that through offering many early classes and courses of reliability, he cultivated a lot of reliability talents who successfully fulfilled the urgent need of many practical areas in the process of China’s economic development, such as machinery, electronics, aerospace, weaponry, and so forth. For this book, we received 31 submissions from mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK, and the USA, most of which were invited from famous research groups related to reliability, stochastic operations research, and artificial intelligence. Finally, 25 papers were accepted as full papers appearing in this CCIS proceedings published by Springer, 4 congratulatory messages within 2 pages were accepted as congratulations on Jinhua’s 80th birthday, and an appendix lists Jinhua’s past publications.
