NASA scientist Kalmanje KrishnaKumar
Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) announced that NASA scientist Kalmanje KrishnaKumar is the keynote speaker at the association's 2010 Executive Conference in Seattle. KrishnaKumar will present "Intelligent Control Systems: Shaping the Future of Aeronautics and Space Exploration," at 8:30 a.m., Friday, April 30. Theme for the 2010 CSIA conference is "Aim Higher."

Intelligent control systems are nature-inspired, computationally intensive problem-solving tools and methodologies that have become important for future innovations in aeronautics and space exploration. Intelligent control systems will enable safe, mission-effective approaches to aircraft and spacecraft design and control, spacecraft autonomy, and robotic and human space exploration. In the keynote address, KrishnaKumar will present some areas of applications of intelligent control that NASA is pursuing and highlight the benefits in such applications.
Dr. KrishnaKumar is a scientist and past group lead of the Adaptive Control and Evolvable Systems (ACES) group of the Exploration Technology Directorate at the NASA Ames Research Center in California. He currently serves as the principal investigator for the Integrated Resilient Aircraft Control project under the NASA Aviation Safety Program.
The CSIA 2010 Executive Conference will be April 29 - May 1 at the Westin Seattle .

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
