The CMSE is the first and largest International Conference on the use of Electronic Components in Military and Space Electronics. This annual Conference has historically been attended by the most engneers/engineering managers and offered the most technical papers on the following subjects:

2008 CMSE Advance Program

Design Practices Open System architectures Packaging and special thermal techniques Techniques to successfully use PEMs & COTS Ruggedizing COTS for military use PEMs in long term storage conditions Critical applications Applications Avionics, ships, military vehicles and radios Missile and weapons systems Satellites & launch vehicles Case Studies / History Use of PEMs and commercial components Use of COTS subassemblies and systems Engineering and managing COTS Lessons learned Obsolescence Management Business practices Industry perspectives Life cycle managemen Designing for obsolescence Radiation Hardness Assessing hardness levels of COTS and PEMs Maintaining hardness through design changes Shielding techniques Impact of scaling on RH performance

Technology Trends New technologies and how to use them Replacing obsolete technologies Life time of the new technologies Risk Mitigation System redundancy Failure/error detection and correction New reliability assessment practices ICs, optos, hybrids, and discretes Passives, relays and connectors Batteries and sensors Selecting Commercial Suppliers How to select suitable suppliers Quality issues and acceptable quality levels Automotive, telecom and commercial practices Testing Requirements and Results COTS and PEMs qualification practices Uprating parameters from manufacturers data sheet Theory and structure of qualification program ESS, screening practices and cost analysis Construction & Destructive Physical Analysis When to use & results What is different for COTS Using these analyses to assure quality
