World Congress on Engineering Asset Management

The World Congress on Engineering Asset Management has been held annually since 2006 commencing with the inaugural event on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Subsequent congresses have been held ing Harrogate, England (2007); Beijing, China (2008); Athens, Greece (2009) and Brisbane, Queensland (2010).

Planning is now well underway for the 2011 Congress which will be hosted by the Center for Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS) at the Duke Energy Cenre, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

The objective of WCEAM is to bring together academics, practitioners and scientists from all around the world:

• to promote research, development and application in the field of Engineering Asset Management;
• to strengthen the link between academic researchers and industrial practitioners in the field;
• to showcase the state of the art systems and technology in Engineering Asset Management.

Delegates attend this congress from all parts of the world and include professionals from many areas of government (including policy makers), academia and industry.

The program consists of invited keynote presentations, oral submitted presentations and poster submitted presentations. The Congress calls for abstracts each year. WCEAM is a refereed conference. All final papers are peer reviewed in full by a panel of international experts.

Industry case studies are also featured. Please refer to the 2009 Congress for deadlines and topics for abstract submission.

WCEAM is an initiative of the Cooperative Research Centre for Integrated Asset Management (CIEAM) based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. As a CRC, CIEAM’s research is focussed on addressing real asset management problems faced by today’s industry. The centre works in direct partnership with industry and research participants, helping them leverage their R&D investment, and delivering valuable outcomes for their businesses.

The International Society of Engineering Asset Management (ISEAM) is a multidisciplinary professional learned society dedicated to the development and recognition of Asset Management as an integrated and important body of knowledge.

The Society provides thought-leadership and influence on a global basis to coordinate the discipline’s advance with academics, practitioners, and policy makers in the emerging trans-discipline of Engineering Asset Management.
