American Society of Mechanical Engineers Announces the 2006 Design for Manufacturing and the Life Cycle Conference, September 10-13, 2006

The 2006 Design for Manufacturing and the Life Cycle Conference is sponsored by the Design for Manufacturing Committee of the Design Engineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers .

The 2006 DFMLC Conference will be part of the ASME 2006 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information In Engineering Conference. The conference will be held in Franklin Plaza, Wyndham Philadelphia, from September 10-13, 2006. For more information about the general conference, see the IDETC 2006 web site.

Call for Papers

The conference invites authors to submit papers that describe significant research results related to design for manufacturing and life cycle impacts.

Description: The ASME Design for Manufacturing and the Life Cycle Conference is the main international forum for the exchange of technical and scientific information on the theory and practice of DFX and product life-cycle management (PLM) including DFMA, GD&T in product life-cycle, integration of CAD/CAM, manufacturing systems modularity, convertibility, diagnosability, reconfigurability and reusability, and product field performance. The conference will feature tutorials and workshops, keynote and invited speakers, and papers presented in lecture format and interactive presentation sessions, in diverse areas of DFX and PLM. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following symposia:

Topic Areas:

  DFMLC-1     DFX.

  DFMLC-2     Product Life-cycle Management (PLM).

  DFMLC-3     GD&T in DFMLC.

  DFMLC-4     Data Mining and Information Technology in DFMLC.

  DFMLC-5     Dimensional Management and variability control in DFMLC.

  DFMLC-6     Environmental Considerations in DFMLC.

  DFMLC-7     Integrated Product and Process Development in DFMLC

  DFMLC-8     Decision Methods in DFMLC.

  DFMLC-9     Layered Fabrication in DFMLC.

  DFMLC-10   DFMLC at Early New Product Development Phases.

  DFMLC-11   DFMLC for Compliant Assembly.

  DFMLC-12   DFMLC for Nano-manufacturing and Tissue Engineering.

  DFMLC-13   Education in DFMLC.

The Call for Papers is available here in PDF form.

Paper Submission and Deadlines

The tentative deadline for paper submission is February 6, 2006 . Authors will submit papers using ASME's online paper submission and conference management system. Authors are encouraged to check the call for papers of the Design Theory and Methodology Conference and the Design Automation Conference to determine which conference offers the most relevant opportunity in their specialty.
