The First IEEE International Conference on

System Integration and Reliability Improvements  

SIRI 2006


Hanoi, Vietnam
13-15 December 2006



Sponsored by:
IEEE Reliability Society
IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society

BACKGROUND


SIRI focuses on the theory and practice of Systems Integration with special emphasis on the orderly and reliable introduction of emerging technologies into world class products. The conference scope includes techniques and practices to (1) gather and validate product requirements, (2) perform technology assessment, opportunity and risk analysis, and (3) apply the best development practices to assure successful product realization. This will be big enough in attendance to represent major SIRI topics, but small enough to provide an in-depth representation of theory or practice in these areas. We hope to have Industry and academic participation, product and device suppliers, as well as a healthy mixture of theory and practice.
   

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following :
  1. Lessons Learned on developing new products, including success stories and pitfalls found in developing, releasing and
    supporting fielded products
  2. Requirements collection strategies and validation
  3. New chip technologies
  4. Impact of regulations on product design
  5. Six Sigma contributions to World Class product development
  6. Building security into products
  7. Integrating COTS components into new products
  8. Maintaining COTS components through development and field support
  9. Support strategies for fielded systems
  10. Role of simulation and prototypes
  11. Accelerated testing to demonstrate life capability
  12. Physics of Failure (POF) contribution to robust product design
  13. Experimental design considerations
  14. Impact and considerations of lead-free designs
  15. Building "Green Systems"
  16. Mitigating EMC and other environmental effects on new designed equipment
  17. Supply chain management
  18. Design tools and automation
  19. Embedded Systems
  20. System Integration for Human Computer Interaction
  21. Software Verification
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Outstanding papers will be considered for publication in special issues of the IEEE Transactions on Reliability and Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics.
