Strategies to
Background & PurposeNow in its third year, daratechiDPS AUTO2003 will focus on how today's digital prototyping and physical testing processes and tools are meeting auto makers' urgent requirements to shorten product development cycles, manage increasing model complexity and variety, lower development costs by reducing physical prototype counts, better control subjective product attributes that create brand value and drive consumer buying decisions, and reduce warranty exposure, recalls and product failures. daratechiDPS AUTO2003 will update product development and engineering executives on the changing role of digital prototyping and simulation, explore how industry leaders are managing the tradeoffs between physical test and measurement and digital prototyping, and identify the business and technical case for investing in these technologies and processes. Presentations will also probe the data and process management issues of securing, coordinating and serving not only data from disparate simulation applications but also test and measurement data. What frameworks, if any, are available today for managing these data-crash/safety, NVH, durability/fatigue, motion/dynamics/ride and handling, acoustics, thermal, electromagnetic, CFD, more-throughout the product development cycle? How can subjective consumer-appeal attributes such as comfort, cornering confidence, the way a powerful engine should sound—complex system-level characteristics difficult to predict before final physical prototypes are made and design flexibility is lost—be modeled and explored early enough to be brought under engineering control? How can non-geometric but vitally important system and functional simulation data such as control systems, emissions, power management, driver interface systems and the like—all directly impacting consumer perceptions of quality and value-be presented with sufficient fidelity and confidence to drive good design decisions? What computing infrastructure is required to accomplish all this? Finally, what management and incentive structures are required to overcome organizational inertia and cultural obstacles? Real-world cases will reveal how leading manufacturers are rethinking and reorganizing their product development processes and implementing innovative technologies to survive and prosper by delivering fresh products faster at higher quality with fewer resources. The management sessions, colloquia, technical working sessions and corridor conversations will put products, philosophies, technologies and case studies under a microscope and treat everything with a healthy skepticism. daratechiDPS AUTO2003 offers a balance of business strategy and technology assessment you won't find at user-group meetings or association conferences, all in a vendor-neutral setting tailored for senior practitioners and decision-makers. In addition, the networking at this conference is invaluable—you'll meet and share lessons of experience with the right people from across the auto and off-highway industries. This time-efficient conference is also the place to meet the CEOs, CTOs and other top executives and technologists of the world's leading digital prototyping solution providers. The highly interactive program is specifically designed to give individuals ample opportunity to meet informally one-on-one, or in the context of the many topical colloquia and working sessions. If you plan to attend just one industry event in the next 12 months, make it daratechiDPS AUTO2003. In the management sessions, colloquia and technical sessions, breakouts and corridor conversations you'll discover what works and what doesn't, what the risks are, and practitioner strategies for success. Attendees will leave this conference energized with new strategies and action plans they can put into practice right away. Of course, daratechiDPS AUTO2003's Co-Sponsors—the world's leading providers of digital prototyping solutions for auto and off-highway—will be on hand, most represented by their CEOs and CTOs, to conduct breakout sessions, showcase new solutions, and share their vision and strategies. Featured will be presentations of technical philosophy and direction, live demonstrations, and an opportunity to meet and chat with the CEOs and CTOs of the world's leading developers. WHO SHOULD ATTENDChief engineers, vice presidents and directors overseeing product development, product managers, platform managers, program managers, engineering and CAE department heads and managers, technical directors, test-and-measurement and test-and-analysis department heads and managers, managers of crash, durability and NVH, product development managers and engineering process development managers in automotive and off-highway manufacturing companies and their suppliers. ^Top |
