Focus of the Symposium
Industry 4.0 forms an opportunity for a paradigm shift from traditional Structural Health Monitoring and conventional Nondestructive testing to digital monitoring for process control and optimization. This requires new and intelligent, self-learning sensors. In this context, sensors are viewed primarily as complex systems, such as ultrasound or X-ray computed tomographs, thermography and eddy current sensors or electromagnetic sensors. These systems require an intelligent design and implementation, but the multidimensional and complex data streams generated by those sensors must also be intelligently analyzed using advanced image processing and modern machine learning techniques. The aim of the International Symposium on Structural Health Monitoring and Nondestructive Testing is to provide an overview of the latest breakthroughs in SHM and NDT and their interactions with various industrial fields. Internationally acknowledged experts and researchers in the field of SHM, NDT and data processing will communicate about the latest research and development activities. The symposium provides a forum for end-users, scientists, equipment suppliers and for an interested audience to discuss current scientific topics and to examine products as well as present and future possibilities for SHM and NDT. The symposium will be a 2-day conference on the 4th and 5th of October 2018 with oral presentations, poster session and industrial exhibition.
The Symposium SHM-NDT 2018 is organized by htw saar in cooperation with the German Society for NonDestructive Testing (DGZfP e.V.), the French Society for Nondestructive Testing (Cofrend), INSA- Lyon, FITT gGmbH, Fraunhofer IZFP, Fraunhofer EZRT and NDT.net.

Venue
The symposium will take place at the School of Engineering at htw saar, University of Applied Sciences Saarbruecken. htw saar is an application-oriented university with more than 6,000 students and nearly 450 members of academic faculty and administrative staff. The university has five academic units: the Business School, the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, the School of Engineering, the School of Social Sciences and the Franco-German Institute for Technology and Business. It offers more than 45 full-time degree programs, which have all been accredited by external accreditation organizations. Additionally, the university offers a growing number of postgraduate education programs for working professionals. The university conducts significant research in robustness, efficiency and sustainability of manufacturing processes. The city of Saarbruecken is the state capital and regional center of the federal state of Saarland, which is situated in the Saar-Lor-Lux region, at the heart of Europe. Saarbruecken is very well connected to the highly developed road and rail network as well as airports nearby.
