International Applied Reliability Symposium |
The 2005 International Applied
Reliability Symposium provides a forum for expert presenters from industry
and government to come together with reliability practitioners to discuss
the application of reliability principles to meet real world challenges. The
majority of the presenters have been applying reliability, maintainability
and related techniques in their day-to-day work for years and the Symposium
has been designed to encourage results-oriented presentations with
interactive discussions about best practices, success stories and lessons
learned.
Symposium Theme: "Sharing applications, success stories and lessons
learned in reliability and maintainability engineering."
Keynote Address
The Keynote Address will be delivered at 8 a.m. on Thursday May 19, 2005
by Vice Admiral Scott Fry, United States Navy (Retired). The topic of the
address will be The Impact of Reliability and Maintainability on Naval
Mission Readiness.
