Call for Papers

2012 SAE Power Systems Conference
October 30 - November 1, 2012 - Phoenix, Arizona, USA

The tenth biennial SAE Power Systems Conference will be held in Phoenix Arizona. This conference will highlight technology in transition, focusing on past successes, ongoing efforts and existing or perceived future impediments to fielding new technologies from the user perspective for military & commercial aerospace and other military power system applications

The 2012 conference will include a focus on Energy Optimized Aircraft (EOA), bringing Avionics, Systems, and Engines together in an optimized way. It is imperative that system interfaces are addressed early in technology development to ensure that emerging and future highly integrated platforms avoid integration conflicts that limit their performance.

The conference will provide a forum that not only addresses the most recent technical achievements, but also provides a mechanism for the technology and user communities to work together to ease the process of bringing these technologies to fruition. In order to provide more opportunities for technology transition and networking, the Planning Committee has assembled a diverse group of government and industry leaders to organize the technical program.

The Planning Committee is seeking abstracts on the following topics. The committee will also consider abstracts on other topics related to the scope of this conference.

• Aircraft Wiring Systems
• Battery Systems for Ground, Air and Space Applications
• Commercial Power Systems
• Systems Integration/Optimized Vehicle Energy Use
• Electric Actuation
• Energy Optimization
• Fuel Cell Systems
• Advanced Battery Systems for Commercial and Military Applications
• Health Monitoring, Prognostics/Diagnostics for Power
• High Temperature Electronics
• Interagency Advanced Power Group Overview (IAPG)
• Military Aircraft Power Management & Distribution
• Modeling, Simulation, Analysis & Control
• Power & Thermal Technologies for Directed Energy Applications
• Power Technologies for UAV's
• Propulsion Integration: Electrical and Thermal Management
• Thermal Management for Aerospace Power Systems & Applications

Abstracts should be 300-500 words in length, present facts that are new and significant, and should include results achieved, if applicable. Abstracts, including paper title, author name(s), mailing address, telephone number, facsimile number, and email address, should be submitted no later than March 27, 2012. Abstracts may be submitted online.

For assistance with on-line abstract submission, please contact Joan Hudson at jhudson@sae.org; 724-772-4003.
