AIMS Harsh Environment Electronics Symposium Call for Abstracts

The SMTA and Auburn University are pleased to announce that the AIMS (Automotive, Industrial, Military and Space) Harsh Environment Electronics Symposium will be held October 25-26, 2010. Dr. John Evans, Conference Chairman and the program technical committee invite you to submit an abstract to participate in this exciting program. The symposium will once again focus on harsh environments with an emphasis on military and space. We are soliciting abstracts that will provide NEW and TIMELY INFORMATION to attendees on the LATEST DEVELOPMENTS in these areas. The symposium format will allow a significant amount of time for interaction and questions.

Specific subject areas include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Semiconductor Technology

• Substrate Advancements

• Connectors and Interconnect Technology

• Lead-Free Implementation

• Tin Whiskers

• Corrosion

• Advancements in Materials

• Next Generation Harsh Environment Automotive Systems

• Latest Developments in Thermal Cycle Testing for Extreme Environment Electronics

• Substrate Surface Finishes for Harsh Environment Applications

• Chemical, Thermal and Vibration Considerations for Industrial Electronics

• Reliability (HALT, ESS, HASS)

• Operating Environments for Military Electronics (land, sea, air and space)

Four of the six symposium sessions will require PRESENTATIONS ONLY. Speakers in these sessions will need to submit a powerpoint presentation for inclusion in the program proceedings. The remaining two sessions will require technical papers which will be included in the proceedings.
