WHO: Joaquin J. Martinez de Pinillos, ICE program manager, NASA
Michael Cassettari, vice president of marketing, Mathsoft
Education & Engineering, Inc.
John Sheehan, vice president of services, Mathsoft Education &
Engineering, Inc.
WHAT: Presentations related to the growing need for organizations to
better manage their engineering calculations for reuse,
auditing, oversight, publishing and collaboration throughout
the entire product development process. These presentations
will take place at the daratechSUMMIT2006, a leading
conference examining best practices in product lifecycle
management (PLM).
WHEN: Monday, Feb. 20 through Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2006.
WHERE: The Charles Hotel, Cambridge, Mass.
WHY: Thousands of organizations fail to manage the critical
calculations that support their engineering work. The risks of
mismanaging calculations include needless redesign and
disastrous errors, and the squandering of precious
intellectual capital. The practice of sound calculation
management addresses these concerns, applying principles and
technologies from the realms of information management to the
current calculation clutter. Calculation management is a
critical component in effective PLM.
On Monday afternoon, Joaquin J. Martinez de Pinillos, a
Mathcad(R) user, will participate in the "PLM Implementation
Best Practices" session. He will describe ICE, NASA's
integrated collaborative environment for product development
for the agency's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate
(ESMD). His presentation will include a discussion of the
CAD/CAE/PDM/PLM tools in ICE's architecture. He will present
at 4:30 p.m.
In a Monday morning general session, Mike Cassettari will
detail the perils of mismanaging calculations as well as
calculation management's significant role in PLM.
On Wednesday, John Sheehan will participate in a 9 a.m. panel
session focusing on "Securing Corporate IP in a Globalized PLM
Environment."
