This year (2011), the Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS) has partnered with X-CD to implement a smoother and more robust process for accepting and reviewing abstracts, and ultimately choosing the technical content that makes this Symposium one of the premier technical getherings of its kind. Plan on submitting an abstract to the RAMS Program Committee via the X-CD website by clicking here. You can also read more details on our paper submission process here. We look forward to reading your submittals, and thank you for taking the time to make RAMS what it is – a Symposium that delivers value because you are there presenting the latest and greatest information in the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) engineering disciplines. And remember, this year the Symposium is at Disney’s Contemporary Resort near Orlando, Florida. What a great opportunity to grow in the RAM disciplines and spend time with your family as well! See you at Disney in January, 2011!
