The IEEE Reliability Society is seeking original papers for presentation at the 3rd Annual Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) in Denver, CO during June, 2012. The conference will bring together the expertise of the academic, technical, and management communities for facilitating cross-fertilization in this broad interdisciplinary technical area.

The conference will address all of the broad aspects of PHM across all disciplines, technologies, and levels. It will encourage active networking between managers, practitioners, and scientists from academia, government, and industry from across the globe addressing:

bulletScientific methodologies for PHM research
bulletInnovative PHM business approaches
bulletBroad PHM utilization aspects
bulletSpace, Weight, Power, and Cost/Benefit of PHM
bulletSuccesses/Lessons Learned in PHM development and implementation

This conference provides a sociable, professional environment to network with other practitioners and experts, forge new relationships, and deepen existing ones. The conference will cover a broad range of research and application topics covering the full scope of PHM development, from systems engineering and design to processes, methodology, and barriers to PHM application and implementation. World-renowned speakers will provide presentations, and participate in panel discussions, with a full day of tutorials free to all registrants.

Paper Topics Include: Physics of failure, Sensors / Devices, Structural Health Monitoring / Management, Modeling & Simulation, Sensor Data Fusion, Logic and Reasoning Techniques, PHM Algorithms, Business Case Analysis, Requirements and Standards, Automatic Reconfiguration, Statistical Analysis of Uncertainty, Non-Destructive Evaluation for PHM, Decision Support, PHM in EV & Smart Grid (Power) Applications, Distributed Networks / Cloud Computing, PHM-based Fleet Management and Logistics, Lessons Learned…

Papers describing original work are solicited! Abstracts and full papers will be peer reviewed and selected based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and entered into the IEEE Xplore® digital library
