Maintenance And Reliability Summit
May 24-27, 2004
Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont (Chicago), IL
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is the premier approach for determining maintenance requirements. It can be applied to any system in any industry. There are many derivations and variations on the original classic approach to RCM, and all have value. But which one is best for you?
A virtual smorgasbord of RCM information
Representatives of the major RCM methodologies will explain their approach in a unique all-day RCM & RCM-Linked Methods session in the Reliability Track at MARTS. Jack Nicholas, Jr., a neutral but experienced observer who is no longer engaged in RCM analysis, will chair the session and explain how RCM got started and grew. He will set the stage for six presentations by representatives of major RCM-linked methodologies: RCM Blitz, RCM Turbo, RCM Cost, Classical RCM, RCM 2, and PM Optimization.
Register now for this outstanding session at http://www.MARTS-2004.com
MARTS is an educational and professional development opportunity for managers, technicians, supervisors, and engineers responsible for plant capacity and equipment availability.

NASA/DoD Conference on Evolvable
Hardware
June 24-26, 2004
Seattle, Washington
Evolvable Hardware is an emerging field that applies evolution to automate design and adaptation of physical reconfigurable and morphable structures such as electronic systems, antennas, MEMS and robots. The purpose of this conference is to bring together leading researchers from the evolvable hardware community, representatives of the automated design and programmable / reconfigurable hardware communities, technology developers and end-users from the aerospace, military and commercial sectors. Evolvable hardware techniques enable self-re-configurability, adaptability and learning by programmable devices and thus have the potential to significantly increase the functionality of deployable hardware systems. Evolvable Hardware is expected to have major impact on deployable systems for space systems and defense applications that need to survive and perform at optimal functionality during long duration in unknown, harsh and/or changing environments. It is also expected to greatly enhance the capability of systems that need modification, upgrade and learning without interrupting their operation.
