Neural computing and other computational intelligence techniques can be usefully employed in the areas of Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis of machines and external structures (e.g bridges), and of Health Monitoring in medicine. Although these areas are usually treated quite separately, they share a number of common issues and solutions, and should benefit from a cross-fertilisation of ideas. The speakers at this two day colloquium will provide comprehensive reviews of recent research and techniques employed in the domains of condition monitoring, health monitoring, and fault diagnosis; with the underlying aim of facilitating an exchange of ideas and solutions.
Organisers: Dr Peter Cowley (Rolls-Royce), Dr Amanda Sharkey (University of Sheffield), Dr Keith Worden (University of Sheffield).
