18th Annual Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management Society
About the Conference:
This conference is organized by the PHM Society and delivers the quality engagement you are accustomed to. We bring together the global community of PHM experts from industry, academia, and government in diverse application areas, such as, but not limited to, energy, aerospace, transportation, automotive, human health & performance, smart manufacturing, industrial data science, and AI.
In addition to technical paper sessions, the conference features workshops, technical demonstrations, expert panel sessions on a plurality of critical issues and applications, a doctoral symposium, keynote and luminary speakers, and tutorials free to all registrants.
A PHM data challenge is organized in parallel; the results will be presented during the conference. Leading companies and research institutions exhibit their products and demonstrate their technologies during the event. Several social events round out the program by providing opportunities for participants to connect and network with colleagues, including a high-quality career fair and diversity outreach & networking event. The PHM Society will also offer separate, dedicated short courses focused on fundamental PHM concepts and techniques, as well as data analytics before the start of the main conference.
A major differentiator for the PHM Society is its unique approach toward intellectual property rights: Authors retain copyright in their work while allowing the PHM Society to distribute their work through a Creative Commons License. As a result, all articles published by the PHM Society are available to the global PHM community via the internet for free, without any restrictions before the conference starts.
