The PHM Society invites participants to show off their diagnostic and prognostic engineering approaches through hardware demonstrations. The concept of the hardware demonstrations is to offer a hands-on learning experience for attendees. Demonstrations will be given as hands-on tutorials to small groups. Each tutorial will last for approximately 30 minutes where attendees will be allowed to ask questions.

As an incentive, a reimbursement of up to $1000.00 (US) will be offered to each hardware demo team for shipping expenses. We will also provide tables, chairs, power, and a flat panel display if required.

Some potential hardware demonstration topics are:

• Sensor Integration
• Rapid Aging Techniques
• System Identification Processes
• Computer Maintenance Management System Integration
• Fielded Prognostic Systems
• Certification and Validation Techniques

Interested parties should submit a brief write-up (mini-proposal) of their proposed PHM hardware demonstration, including:

• demonstration description
• amount of attendee interaction expected (additional consideration will be given for this criterion)
• educational value
• demo requirements (size, weight, facilities needed, etc.)
• what needs to be shipped?

We anticipate selecting up to six hardware demonstrations. Please send your mini-proposals to Tim Wilmering NO LATER THAN June 30, 2010.
