Information and Computing Technology (ICT) dominates all aspects of business and much of our daily lives, and plays a large role in many areas of measurement. Traceability, measurement standards and quality systems all demand the demonstration of computational links that are fit for purpose, but testing is difficult without knowing whether software is producing accurate results in the first place. EMRP project Traceability for computationally-intensive metrology (NEW06 TraCIIM) will use mathematics, numerical analysis and state of the art computer technology to validate software and develop new technologies to deliver traceability to measurements requiring intensive computing. It will ensure the trustworthiness and fitness for purpose of measurement software and enhance consumer confidence in metrology products.
This workshop will present the outputs of the project specifically a new approach for assessing the performance and fitness for purpose of metrology software and establishing an online software certification service. The TraCIM project outputs are applicable across a wide range of metrology domains but have been most extensively developed for the length domain through the involvement of industrial project partners Hexagon, Mitutoyo, Werth and Zeiss. The workshop is free to attend and is intended for developers and users of metrology software, quality professionals and engineers in industry, calibration laboratories and national measurement institutes.
