CAVE3 is co-organizer for the Harsh Environments Workshop at the SMTAI Conference to be held at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois from Sept 27-Oct 1, 2015.  The workshop will be jointly chaired by Prof(s) Pradeep Lall (AU), John Evans (AU), and Dr. Robert Kinyanjui (John Deere).   The workshop focuses on issues of relevance to the use of electronics in extreme environment applications.  The papers will focus on environments including thermal, thermo-mechanical, vibration, mechanical shock, corrosion, and contamination.  Design methods for the use of commercial off the shelf electronics in extreme environments will be presented in addition to modeling and design methods to ensure survivability over lifetimes much longer than expected in consumer applications.  SMTAI has been recognized as a truly different type of industry event because of the high quality technical information and the networking opportunities that cannot be found anywhere else in the industry.
