This project will improve the effectiveness of CALCE web-based
information dissemination systems. Specifically, this project will
oversee the merger of CALCE and CADMP resources while implementing
changes that speed up locating information and tools that facilitate
product design and research activities. This includes the CALCE and
CADMP resources.
The CALCE website is a primary information archive and dissemination resource. The CALCE website includes over 10,000 documents pertaining to packaging, parts management, and failure physics for electronics systems and products. CALCE has established a long record of success and accomplishment pertaining to providing useful information and data to members. These resources include tutorials, guidelines, data and software, which enable parts selection, product assessment, failure analysis, and accelerated testing. However, there are areas that can be improved. In the coming year, Electonic Component Alliance resources will be combined with CALCE Consortium. Electronic Component Alliance Resources include include the CADMP software and multiple webbooks. The project will result in a revised CALCE Website that effectively combines Electronic Component Alliance and CALCE Consortium resources.
The project will address its objectives in a three-step process. First review the effectiveness of the current CALCE and CADMP web-based resource structures. Second, assessment results will be reviewed and changes to the website will be developed based on the feasibility of suggestions and proposed methods. Finally, the resulting plan will be implemented, combining CALCE/CADMP resources. Some preliminary ideas to achieve these objectives are the development methods for referencing and cataloging the CALCE reports, documents, and resources, and soliciting member feedback.
