2012 Cyber Conference

November 27 - 30, 2012
Baltimore, Maryland
Hosted by the ITEA Francis Scott Key Chapter

banner -cyber network 2

Program Description

Cyber warfare is no longer somethingCyber warfare is no longer something we'll have to worry about in the future. The Stuxent virus, which targeted and damaged Iranian nuclear infrastructure, showed that internet warfare is happening now. The cost of securing U.S. infrastructure against our enemies will cost billions of dollars. U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned that the United States could be paralyzed by cyber warfare if it is not prepared. "The reality is that there is the cyber capability to basically bring down our power grid to create ... to paralyze our financial system in this country to virtually paralyze our country," he told reporter Scott Pelley of CBS Evening News."And I think we have to be prepared not only to defend against that kind of attack but if necessary we are going to have to be prepared to be able to be aggressive when it comes to cyber efforts as well. We've got to develop the technology, the capability we've got to be able to defend this country." Maybe the most alarming part of cyber warfare is that it doesn't take an organized effort or millions of dollars to implement a devastating attack. A creative devious mind with access to a computer is all that it takes.

Please join us at Baltimore's fabulous Inner Harbor as members of the T&E community from academia, industry, and government discuss the need to meet the advanced persistent cyber threat. Come share your thoughts, connect with others, and learn from some of the leading experts at this conference. The cyber threat will only increase with time. We need your help in defeating a threat unlike any other we've seen in the past. Target: Baltimore, November 27-30.

Program Description

The new topic, 'The T&E of System-of-Systems,' has drawn an enormous amount of interest, and we invite all 'Systems' type T&E Engineers and Operators to join us as we dive into over 40 presentations covering a myriad of T&E in System-of-Systems' topics. Speakers, panelists, authors, and leaders from the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration, Academia, and Industry will come together with their ideas and tools, organizing one of the most robust conferences we have ever planned.

This year we have scheduled Monday as a travel day, Tuesday to include educational tutorials and a golf outing, and finally on Wednesday, Thursday, and into Friday morning, we will host several strong tracks, panel discussions, poster papers, and two winning student papers from the area universities to give our audience a full spectrum of topics pertaining to Test & Evaluation of System-of-Systems.

We expect to fill the conference center at the Wyndham, so register early by going online to www.itea.org. So, on behalf of the 2012 Conference Planning Committee and the ITEA White Sands Chapter, we invite you to join us and look forward to welcoming you to El Paso, West Texas, and Southern New Mexico in January.

2012 Technology Review

 

July 25 - 27, 2012
Memphis, Tennessee
Hosted by ITEA in partnership with the Systems Testing Excellence Program (STEP) of the University of Memphis at the FedEx Institute of Technology 

Banner -_Tech_Review_2

Program Description

 

This strategic partnering of ITEA and STEP at the FedEx Institute of Technology brings government, industry, and academia together to conquer complex problems and help speed new products to market and capability to the warfighter. This Technology Review will offer attendees a unique opportunity to introduce and discuss the latest developments with respect to test and evaluation of emerging technologies that positively impact testing efficiency, improve system effectiveness and acquisition affordability. The review is intended to showcase technologies that present challenges for the T&E community and expose new capabilities and approaches to evaluate them. These technologies are emerging from programs sponsored by government programs, industry, and academia and new test capabilities and approaches enable the T&E community to keep pace with the rising performance demands of future systems while operating within the constraints posed by shrinking budgets.

Distinguished keynote speakers and subject matter experts will address a wide range of technologies, T&E capabilities and evaluation approaches. Together, we will highlight successful partnerships and testing technologies that may be adapted and evolved to overcome testing challenges.
