Included in the five-day event executive meetings and a dinner are scheduled for May 8 will be the presentation of some 70 technical papers, a vendor product exhibition and a number of short courses, Included in the tutorials is a course taught by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Wayne Manges about wireless systems. Manges, a member of the lab's Engineering Science & Technology Division, will examine wireless protocols, frequencies, system implantations and integration into the industrial environment. Another tutorial, taught by Jim Gord of Wright Labs, will focus on laser-based diagnostics for combustion and fuel studies. A primary purpose of the annual event is to further the development of the aerospace instrumentation that plays a critical role in monitoring systems in flight.
