Dear
conference participants,
My
name is Emil Hazarian and I am the President of the Measurement Science
Conference 2011.
On
behalf of our Board of Directors, Conference Committee, and myself, I would
like to invite you to our 2011 Measurement Science Conference Symposium
and Workshops, at the Pasadena Convention Center, on March 14-18, 2011.
The theme of this conference is: Metrology and Quality through Education.
It
has been 41 years since this annual metrology organization brings together
domestic and international professionals with one, and only one, objective
in mind: to learn about metrology for a better life.
Measurement
Science Conference has always been a platform for exchanging experience
in the exhibits area, getting updates from NIST seminars, tutorials and
hands-on workshops, showing your latest achievements through over 100 technical
papers, and making new professional connections.
We
are also introducing this year, for the first time, the MSC Fall Tutorials.
This new event will take place on October 21st, 2010, at Hyatt Regency
hotel in Irvine, California.
Every
conference, for the last 41 years, has been getting better and better,
and that was possible only with your continuous active participation and
the work of our volunteers.
As
a professional organization, Measurement Science Conference is part of
a larger, well established, domestic and global measurement system, starting
with the customer, continuing with the equipment manufacturers and calibration
laboratories, and finishing with national metrology institutes, our NIST,
National Institute of Standards and Technology, and international bodies
such as BIPM, Le Bureau International des Poids et Measures, or International
Bureau of Weights and Measures.
The
measurement infrastructure and superstructure are aimed at providing uniformity,
accuracy, and fairness in commercial transactions, through legal metrology,
and global interchangeability in manufacturing through scientific metrology.
As
we work out every day measurement tribulations, we also keep an eye in
the future for societal advancements. Technological challenges, such as
new unconventional sources of energy and environmental obstacles, are overcame,
only with the help of measurements, from the simplest to the state-of-the-art.
This is where Measurement Science Conference comes into the picture, to
facilitate the education in metrology and quality, or as Galileo Galilei
stated in the XVII Century:
“Measure
what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so.”
See
you in 2011, at the Pasadena Convention Center.
Emil
Hazarian, President ~ Measurement Science Conference |
