About the PHM Conference
Prognostics are an engineering discipline focused on predicting the future condition of a component and/or system of components. The science of prognostics is based on the analysis of failure modes, detection of early signs of wear and aging in complex systems and components, and correlation of these signs with an aging profile (or model). Potential uses for prognostics include estimation of remaining useful life and condition-based maintenance. The discipline that links studies of failure mechanisms to system lifecycle management is often referred to as Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). Technical approaches to prognostics can be categorized broadly into data-driven approaches, model-based approaches, and hybrid approaches. During the last few years, many leading companies in the world have been applying PHM from product design to supply chain management and have already established a fruitful Return-Of-Investment (ROI) in this regard. The market applications are wide ranging. PHM has been recognized to give a competitive advantage in the market place where competition is ever growing. Companies around the world are increasingly investing in developing PHM technologies to be at the forefront of competition.
PHM conference aims to bring together the global community of PHM experts from industry, academia, and government in diverse research and application areas such as aeronautics and astronautics, defense, marine systems, power and electronic systems, process industries, computers and telecommunications, material systems, industrial automation, and healthcare and medical technology, etc. The IEEE PHM-2010 Conference and the IEEE PHM-2011 Conference were successfully held on 12-14 January 2010 at the University of Macau and on 23-25 May 2011 at Intercontinental Hotel of Shenzhen.
