E-forensics 2009 - International Conference on Forensic Applications and Techniques in Telecommunications, Information and Multimedia

Jan 19, 2009 - Jan 21, 2009,
National Wine Centre of Australia, Adelaide, South Australia Australia

The birth of the Internet as a commercial entity and the development of increasingly sophisticated digital consumer technology has led to new opportunities for criminals and new challenges for law enforcement. Those same technologies also offer new tools for scientific investigation of evidence.

The aim of this conference is to bring together state of the art research contributions in the development of tools, protocols and techniques which assist in the investigation of potentially illegal activity associated with electronic communication and electronic devices. Investigative practice and requirements for presentation of evidence in court are to be considered key underlying themes. This might include discovery, analysis, handling and storage of digital evidence; meeting the legal burden of proof; and the establishment of the forensic chain of evidence.

Paediatric Clinical Trials

Jan 19, 2009 - Jan 20, 2009,
Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, England, United Kingdom

It takes an average of 15 years and millions of pounds to bring a new medicine to market. Whilst great care is taken to evaluate new treatments on adults, the process for testing medicines for children is much more tightly regulated and all research protocols must be submitted for Ethics Committee / Institutional Review Board (IRB) scrutiny and approval before trials can even start. Furthermore, the ethical and research needs of children are very different from that of adults, and paediatric clinical trials need to be tailored to the patient group as well as the disease and therapeutic area. Approximately 50% of the drugs on the European market have not been specially tested on children and this can lead to adverse effects, many of which can be fatal. With the recent implementation of the European Medicines for Children Regulation, pharmaceutical companies are under immense pressure to ensure they run their paediatric clinical trials effectively and efficiently.

Cold Chain

Jan 19, 2009 - Jan 21, 2009,
BSG Conference Centre, London, England, United Kingdom

Ensuring that the cold chain is kept cold is vital for patient safety. If temperature sensitive materials, such as vaccines and other biologics, are not kept cold throughout the supply chain, there can be devastating consequences for the patients. Therefore it is vital that manufacturers as well as logistics and distribution suppliers work together to ensure the quality of the validation and monitoring processes. Setting up a cold chain for a new product during clinical trials, or for a market in a new climate zone, is challenging. There are new regulations to take into account, as well as a broad range of new technology and service providers to evaluate. Visiongain is now providing you with an arena where colleagues from different areas of the cold supply chain will share their knowledge and experience in validation, monitoring, tracking systems, communication systems, and in case of any problems, risk management systems.

In the interest of finding ways to ensure patient safety by a safe and efficient cold chain, Visiongain is dedicating its second cold chain conference to:

• Cold chain planning and set up
• A global perspective on transport of temperature sensitive materials
• Validation and monitoring throughout the cold chain

The next-generation network era brings with it many opportunities to create communications products and services that will revolutionize multiple industries.

A company's operations support systems must be as "next generation" as the network they support.

A key issue that telecommunications operators have at the moment is that their OSS/BSS systems are not up to speed in satisfying the requirements of next generation services and easing the process of introduction new services. Attending this marcus evans conference will allow operators to face the challenge that is to develop a strategy to meet competitive pressure and transform the network, back office and organisation for better integration.

We will present case studies from leading telcos who will provide insight into how they combine cutting edge strategies with the right solutions to streamline the provision of next generation services. We will also analyse the evolving OSS landscape for next generation telecoms and assess how operators can gain competitive advantage by developing the right strategies for the future.

Sustainable Manufacturing

Jan 19, 2009 - Jan 20, 2009,

Manufacturing is one of the most vulnerable sectors when it comes to the impact to the environment.

Rising energy prices are also driving global manufacturers to seek out long-term energy plans and invest in renewable energy sources. Whether an automotive manufacturer or a consumer goods producer, leading manufacturers recognize that to compete in an increasingly carbon and resource-constrained future, they must become sustainable today.

The conference will show how leading manufacturers are meeting the sustainability challenge and transforming their processes.

With sessions focusing on environmentally friendly product development and green supply chains, the conference will cover sustainable manufacturing from design through to the supply chain. Top manufacturers will present case studies demonstrating how they are evolving their businesses to become more sustainable. Delegates will walk away with real-world examples that they can apply to their own sustainable manufacturing processes from companies that have invested significant time and resources in meeting this challenge.

This conference sets an avenue for manufacturers to meet and discuss best practices in sustainable manufacturing. It offers a detailed view of how this sector is anticipating and responding to the effects of the environment while continuing to grow their businesses.
