Proceedings of the 7th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM 2012)

These proceedings comprise 60 refereed papers of the Seventh World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM) that was held in Deajeon City, Korea from 8-9 October 2012. The material is a compilation of state-of-the-art papers in the field covering a comprehensive range of subjects that are equally relevant to business managers and engineering professionals alike.

Proceedings of the 7th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM 2012): Towards Integration and Interoperability in EAM covers a wide range of topics in the discipline of engineering asset management, including:

·         strategic asset management

·         condition monitoring and diagnostics

·         integrated intelligent maintenance

·         sensors and devices

·         information quality & management;

·         sustainability in asset management

·         asset performance and knowledge management

·         data mining and AI techniques in asset management

·         engineering standards and

·         education in engineering asset management.

The breadth and depth of these proceedings will make them an excellent resource for asset management practitioners, researchers and academics, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in tertiary institutions and in industry.

Professor Byeong-Kuen Choi

Byeong-Keun is a Professor at the Department of Energy and Mechanical Engineering at the Gyeongsang National University, Korea. He has held academic positions previously at Arizona State University, USA and at the Pukyong National University. His research interests lie in the research and application of signal processing techniques for diagnosing and prognosing machinery faults. He has published widely in the field. Byeongkuen served as Chair of the WCEAM 2012 Organising and Program Committees and currently serves on the Board of the Korea Engineering Asset Management Association.

Professor Lin Ma

Lin is an accomplished academic and researcher in integrated asset management platforms, optimal decision support and condition-based asset health prediction at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). She led the Capability Optimisation research program in the CRC for Infrastructure and Engineering Asset Management (CIEAM) and worked closely with industry partners to address their critical needs. Together with her team, a number of advanced asset management systems, modules and industry utilisation cases have been successfully developed and utilised. Her achievements have received commendation. She is a recipient of the Queensland’s Smart State – Smart Woman Award as well as the QUT Vice Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Research. She is a Foundation Fellow of ISEAM.

Professor Joseph Mathew

Joe is a Mechanical Engineer with extensive experience in academia, academic administration, research and research management, and consulting. He led the CIEAM since it was founded in 2003 and specialises in condition monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics of machine systems. He is one of the two founders of the International Standards Organisation’s Committee on Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics (ISO TC 108/SC5), which he has chaired since 1996. He also initiated the International Society of Engineering Asset Management (ISEAM) and the World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM). He remains as Foundation Chair of ISEAM and General Chair of the WCEAM. Joe has recently been appointed as Interim CEO of the newly founded Asset Institute based at QUT and has been the key facilitator behind the Asset Institute®’s transition from a cooperative research centre.
