FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Dr. Pratit Santiprabhob and faculty members at the IEEE Conference

2003 Aerospace Conference Organised by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

With constant prodding and encouragement by Assumption University to conduct research, the Faculty of Science and Technology was able to respond positively this year when it took the opportunity to present research papers at a high level international conference.

2003 IEEE Aerospace Conference is the twenty-fourth in a series of annual weeklong winter conferences designed for aerospace experts, academia, military personnel, and industry leaders in a stimulating and thought-provoking environment. The Conference promotes interdisciplinary understanding of aerospace systems, their underlying science and technology, and their applications to government and commercial endeavors. Participants enjoy exceptional access to authors and invited speakers in a unique setting, fertile ground for developing lasting relationships benefiting delegates, their organizations, and the engineering, scientific, and aerospace communities far beyond the Conference. Papers are peer reviewed and typically provide the technical depth characteristic of journal articles.

There were 14 sessions as follows.
  1. Seven Plenary Sessions: Key Addresses by leading scientists, government officials, and industry figures
  2. Space Missions, Systems, and Architecture
  3. Antenna Systems and Technologies
  4. Communications and Navigation
  5. Optics, Electro-Optics and Lasers
  6. Remote Sensing
  7. Spacecraft Avionics
  8. Spacecraft & Launch Vehicle Systems & Technologies
  9. Air Vehicle Systems and Technologies
  10. Software and Computing
  11. Diagnostics, Prognostics, and Health Management
  12. Mission Ops Concepts, Technologies, & Experiences
  13. Management, Systems Engineering and Cost
  14. Government Plans, Policies, and Education

For this year, more than 400 research papers were presented at this conference. The authors came from well-known institutes such as NASA, US Air Force, Naval Research Laboratory, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, CalTech, MIT, The Pennsylvania State University, UCLA, Georgia Institute of Technology, The Aerospace Corporation, The Boeing Company etc.

Five faculty members were chosen to attend the conference led by the Dean, Dr. Pratit Santiprabhob and Dr.Jirapun Daengdej who attended the conference at their own expense. The remaining faculty members, namely A.Thanachai Thumthawatworn, A.Supannika Koolmanojwong and A.Peerapol Moemeng, attended the conference with partial support from the university.

The following 3 papers from Faculty of Science and Technology, Assumption University were accepted.
  • Fuzzy Rule-Based Process Scheduling Method for Critical Distributed Computing Environment by Thanachai Thumthawatworn and Pratit Santiprabhob.
  • A Framework for Handling Malfunction Agents by Peerapol Moemeng and Jirapun Daengdej
  • Reflexive Agents for Competitive Application Environment by Supannika Koolmanojwong, Jaruwan Lattikulsampan and Jirapun Daengdej

After the presentation our faculty members were warmly applauded and it is our belief that prospects for further collaboration and research are very good.
