Technical Specialists’ Meeting on
Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)
12-13 Feb 2008
Huntsville, Alabama
Call for Papers
The
Redstone Chapter and the Product Support Committee of the American
Helicopter Society International will be sponsoring a Technical Specialists’
Meeting on Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)
on 12-13 Feb 2008 in Huntsville, Alabama. The Specialists’ Meeting will
present the current
technological state and path forward for the underlying technologies behind
CBM and their application to the accrual of maintenance credits.
Abstracts are to be submitted to the web site
http://www.miracd.com/AHS2008CBM after 16 July but no later than
15 Aug 2007. It is strongly encouraged that
abstracts be submitted in a .pdf format and not be any larger than 2MB. They
should be approximately 1,000 words, present the status of the background
data to be used, summarize figures and illustrations to be used (with
samples), and include a summary of important conclusions. ONLY abstracts
using the AHS Forum 63 published guidelines will be accepted for committee
review. Finished, or draft version, papers will not be accepted. Abstracts
will be accepted in a variety of technical disciplines related to military
and commercial aircraft Condition Based Maintenance. Papers are solicited on
the following topics within the area of CBM, including:
-
Aeromechanics

Submittal of an abstract is interpreted as a professional commitment to
prepare a final paper, attend the CBM Specialists’ Meeting and make a
presentation based on that final paper. If an author finds that he or she
will be unable to make the presentation, then it is incumbent upon him or
her to find a substitute presenter. Abstract acceptance will be based in
part on the submitter's previous history in following through with their
previous commitments. One author may present no more than two papers.
Other Important Dates in the Process:
Paper
selection will be completed by 12 Sep 2007.
Final versions of all papers must be
submitted to the Mira web site,
http://www.miracd.com/AHS2008CBM,
by 11 Jan 2008.
It
is preferred that papers be submitted in electronic format. Allowable file
formats are those which are compatible with Microsoft Word 2000 ("DOC"
files) or Adobe Acrobat 4.0 ("PDF" files). Papers received after 11
Jan 2008 will not be included in the CD-ROM version of the
Workshop proceedings.
The
CBM Specialists’ Meeting is open to an international audience. As
such, it is the policy of the AHS that all papers submitted for inclusion in
the Proceedings and all presentations made at the Workshop be completely
unrestricted. That is, they are not allowed to contain any proprietary,
sensitive, classified, or otherwise-controlled information. Authors should
make note of this policy when submitting abstracts. It is the author's
responsibility to obtain appropriate clearance of his/her abstract, paper,
and presentation in time to meet all deadlines.
