A one-day seminar on uncertainty in measurement Examples and software. Date: Friday, May 29th, 1998 Place: Danish Technological Institute, Taastrup, Denmark. Presentations will be in Danish and German. Please use the link "This page in Danish" at the bottom of the page to read the seminar programme.   Latest news as per May 20, 1998: Dr. Lars Nielsen, Danish Institute for Fundamental Metrology, DFM will be present at the seminar. During the workshop, Dr. Nielsen will present DFM-GUM, which is a new software tool for the GUM-method running in Microsoft Excel environment. Also related to the workshop: Dr. Howard Castrup of Integrated Science Group has kindly agreed that we may have UncertanityAnalyzer software installed on all computers in the workshop.   Moderator: Dr. Kaj Heydorn   Speakers: Dr. Per Bennich, PB Metrology Consult Mr. Rüdiger Kessel, Metrodata GmbH Professor K. A. Mørch, Technical University of Denmark. Mr. Jan Nielsen, Danish Technological Insitute Dr. Rasmus Sørensen, Danish Technological Insitute Dr. Sven Nytoft Rasmussen, Danish Technological Insitute Mr. Jørgen Meinertz, Chembo Metrologic.   Abstract for Rüdiger Kessel's presentation: How do technicians percieve and elaborate a measurement uncertainty problem? Which concepts are of greatest importance in developing software to assist with implementation of the GUM-method. ? What are the important design considerations for the user-interface for such software.? How to write software which is transparent and can be validated? (scheduled time: 20 minutes) Your presentation to be in German.   Abstract for Rasmus Sørensens presentation: Implementation of measurement uncertainty using GUM Workbench. Possibilities and limitations of the software. Examples of using the PUMA method. Documentation of an uncertanity budget. Which documentation can be created by software, ath which should the engineer enter by himself? User-value of software in case of simple versus complicated model-equations.   A brief word on the other presentations: Per Bennich shall speak on the importance of planning and understanding the measurement situation before spending a lot of effort in calculating uncertainties. K. A. Mørch shall speak on basic uncertainty issues including the importance for accredited laboratories and research. Jan Nielsen shall speak on uncertainty in calibration and use of temperature and pressure. Sven Nytoft Rasmussen shall give an overview of five software tools and compare their facilities and ease of use. Each shall be compared using a common problem example from a concrete testing laboratory. Jørgen Meinertz shall speak om MSA as per the QS 9000 requirements and try to draw parallels to GUM methodology.   A Hands-on workshop will be arranged in conjunction with the seminar. Participants will have the opportunity to try five different Windows applications for the GUM-method. Contact Information: Please go to the Danish version of this page. Use the link below.
