How new rail systems such as train operating systems, intelligent diagnostics , passenger safety and information systems are increasing dependence on electronic components. This paper describes how standardized systems are reducing hardware and software risks by applying standard interfaces.

Session Three

Scott Wilson IHS

REACH - how industry needs to work together to understand this new powerful legislation and how this is particularly applicable to obsolescence management and parts management tools where this information will help define resolution strategies.

Jim Rates Chip Supply

How intelligent repackaging can help overcome obsolescence manufacturing complexity to provide a long term solution to a single problem.

Alan Baker Winslow Adaptics

How the current economic climate makes obsolescence management harder but also offers opportunities for those who apply some creativity

Nigel Wallis Active Electronics Ltd

How we can learn lessons from obsolescence instances from our lives as consumers and apply them to complex electronic systems required for long life systems.

Day Two

Session Four

Mark Pasdon Oxygen Electronics

An update on Mark's best paper from the 2007 conference and how the author feels counterfeit instances have changed since then. Also how successful efforts to improve counterfeit identification have been and what the future may bring.

Mark Marshall Integra Technologies LLC

How to apply different tests to identify counterfeit devices and how different electronic test methods can be applied given different cost trade offs.

Tony Jessop Partminer

Dynamics of industry today mean the design team and procurement have to be seamlessly integrated. Tools are available that can provide effective intelligence to assist the process
