CALL FOR PAPERS

AUTOTESTCON is the world’s premier conference that brings together the military/aerospace automatic test industry and government/military acquirers and users to share new technologies, discuss innovative applications, and exhibit products and services. It is sponsored annually by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The Theme this year is Mission Assurance through Advanced ATE

AUTOTESTCON will be held at the Disneyland Resort and Conference Center in Anaheim, California, on September 14-17, 2009. The TECHNICAL PROGRAM for AUTOTESTCON 2009 will be determined by the interests of those participants submitting for publication and presentation a TECHNICAL PAPER or organizing a TECHNICAL SESSION.  Papers and sessions should cover appropriate topics dealing with SYSTEM READINESS in general, and AUTOMATIC TEST technology in particular. ABSTRACTS for TECHNICAL PAPERS are now being solicited, as are proposals for TECHNICAL SESSIONS. 

Important Aspects of Systems Readiness

We wish to develop Technical Sessions that explore new and innovative approaches to the maintenance of SYSTEMS to improve READINESS and address topics such as:

Spiral Development and Evolutionary Acquisition, Flexible Sustainment, Interoperability, Design-For-Test, Fault Tolerant Systems, Direct Vendor Delivery, Future Logistics Support Concepts, Contractor Logistics Support, Maintenance Repair & Overhaul, Multinational Integrated Support, Built-In-Test, Commercialization of Military Maintenance, CMMI Application to ATE/TPS Development, DMSMS Issues, Organizational/Intermediate/Depot Level Maintenance For The Future, Next Generation Test Systems, Test Program Set Development, Prognostics, System and Vehicle Health Maintenance, Test Requirements Definition and Verification, Factory and Development Test, and research & development in instrumentation and measurement.

In addition, we will conduct a Student Paper Awards program for both Graduate and Undergraduate student papers within the topic scope. There will be cash awards of $500 for Best papers in both categories, plus travel subsidies ranging from $300 to $1000 depending on student location. Student abstracts are to be submitted to the URL shown below and identified as Student Papers.

Abstracts are to be submitted to the Abstract Management website no later than February 15, 2009, at http://www.edas.info and submit to IEEE AUTOTESTCON 2009 on this site.
