The NASA 2006 Cost Analysis Symposium will be convening from 20-22 June 2006, in Cleveland, Ohio. Early Registration and a Welcome Reception will be held on June 19, 2006.
 

The theme for this year's Symposium is "Cost Estimators: Key Enablers to NASA’s Vision”. This year’s presentations are designed to allow the NASA cost estimating community to present their accomplishments in any of the following areas: demonstrating results of internal NASA cost research; demonstrating progress or improvements to existing cost models; demonstrating new cost models.

 

In addition, tutorials and presentations are encouraged that feature modern techniques for analyzing and estimating cost, schedule, and the impact of new technologies.
