Leuven, Belgium – September 29, 2008 – LMS, the engineering innovation company, recently released the final speaker list for the International LMS Engineering Simulation Conference 2008 to be held in Paris, France on October 8th and 9th, 2008. The LMS Conference attract hundreds of experts from leading manufacturing companies around the world. For the 2008 edition, LMS is pleased to welcome three keynote speakers from leading aerospace and automotive companies: Mr. Jim Johnescu, Acoustics Lead Engineer for Boeing will speak on aircraft cabin acoustic modeling; Mr. Bobbie Frank, Hybrid Drivetrain System Engineer for Volvo Construction Equipment will cover simulation of construction machinery performance in realistic operating conditions and Mr. Mario J. Felice, Manager Powertrain NVH CAE for the Ford Motor Company will speak about driving next-generation powertrain refinement through virtual simulation.
The 2-day conference promises to be an exciting event with over 40 experts and engineering specialists presenting their latest strategies and application cases to illustrate how new real-life simulation methods have really made a difference. On October 8th, Urbain Vandeurzen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Jan Leuridan, Chief Technology Officer, will share the LMS vision on the future of engineering simulation. LMS foresees a new age for virtual engineering where a “function-driven” development orientation manages the requirements of a new product design into functions and physical specifications of subsystems and components. In this approach, system functions are consistently managed in a scalable manner from concept to validation.
In addition to the key note addresses, LMS is pleased to release this updated list of speakers from a truly diverse scope of companies including Airbus/Noesis, Ariel University Center, Audi, Boeing, Calsonic Kansei/LMS Imagine, CERTIA, China Flight Automatic Control Research Institute/LMS, CNH Italia SPA, Continental Automotive France SAS, Daimler, EADS, Faurecia Sièges d’Automobile, Gaz de France, Helmut-Schmidt-University, Institut Français du Pétrole, IRCCyN - Ecole Centrale de Nantes, Jaguar/LMS International, K.U.Leuven – PMA and University of Sao Paulo, Liebherr Machines Bulle, Messier-Bugatti, Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology, Noesis, Piaggio & C.
