These proceedings address the latest trends and advances in the fast expanding discipline of Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Engineering Management (COMADEM). The broad scope of techniques described and the variety of applications covered reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of the subject and the wide range of problems in the industry and elsewhere to which it is relevant. The papers in the book include topics such as: machinery/plant/process health monitoring; industrial risks and wastes management; space technology; remote sensing and computer vision. Significantly the papers show that the field of COMADEM is already making a useful contribution to improving industrial performance. Addressing as it does a range of issues such as reliability, quality and safety, COMADEM also has much to offer the decade ahead.
