Symposium on Counterfeit Electronic Parts - West
Registration Now Open

June 8-11, 2010 Honeywell Deer Valley Deer Valley (Phoenix), AZ Technical Symposium: June 8-9, 2010 Workshops: June 10-11, 2010 Contact: Diganta Das (diganta@umd.edu) Click Here to Register SMTA and CALCE at the University of Maryland are pleased to announce a west coast venue for the Symposium on Avoiding, Detecting, and Preventing Counterfeit Electronic Parts. The first three symposia (held in College Park, MD) were an overwhelming success with participation of part manufacturers, distributors, users, government and law enforcement agencies, legal professionals, authentication technology manufacturers, academic institutions, supply chain and brand protection professionals. We are pleased to offer a west coast venue in 2010. A counterfeit electronic part is one whose identity (e.g., manufacturer, part number, date code, lot code) has been deliberately misrepresented. Counterfeit electronics have been reported in a wide range of products, including computers, telecommunications equipment, automobiles, avionics and military systems. Counterfeit electronics include everything from very inexpensive capacitors and resistors to costly microprocessors, completed assemblies and even systems. Going beyond anecdotes and examples of counterfeit parts, this symposium focuses on the solutions that are available and are under development by all sectors of the industry. Topics will include: Electronic parts supply chain Sources of counterfeit parts Proven methodologies for reducing chances of being victims of counterfeit parts Supply chain management tools to mitigate counterfeit part risks Inspections tools and techniques for detecting counterfeit parts Authentication techniques for securing electronic part supply chain Trade and business issues adopted by industry Law enforcement and international cooperation   In addition to technical sessions, attendees can participate in one-day or half-day multiple parallel workshops, including: Inspection Training Seminar: An Introduction to the Counterfeit Inspection Techniques: IDEA Material Level Evaluation and Characterization for Part Authentication: CALCE/University of Maryland Basic Proactive Management with Anti-Counterfeiting Considerations: DMSMS Electrical Testing, Characterization and Qualification for Part Authentication: Integra Technologies Supply Chain Best Practices: DLA and CALCE Counterfeit Reporting: GIDEP IPR Protection: First Line of Defense-Customs: Global Intellectual Property Strategy Center   Symposium Technical Committee Diganta Das, Ph.D., CALCE/University of Maryland, Conference Chair Dan Dimase, Honeywell Technology Solutions, Conference Co-Chair Bill Barthel, Plexus Corporation Mark Crawford, Office of Technology Evaluation, Department of Commerce Lisa Gardner, Government Accountability Office Robin Gray, National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) Phil Montag, Honeywell Technology Solutions Sydney Pope, Office of the Secretary of Defense Phil Zulueta, Jet Propulsion Laboratories
