Selected Papers from the Asia Pacific Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management Society 2021

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great honor to invite you to attend the third Asia Pacific Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management Society (PHM Asia Pacific 2021), hosted by the Korean Society for Prognostics and Health Management (KSPHM) and PHM Society. The PHM Asia Pacific 2021 will be held from September 8 to 11 at Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. The theme of the PHM Asia Pacific 2021 is “Pioneering a Digital Journey with PHM”. As COVID-19 continues to sweep across the globe, “untact” activities are becoming the new normal. As a consequence, digital technologies including AI, big data, IoT, and so on are playing a key role in our daily lives. The PHM Asia Pacific 2021, with researchers’ latest works and inspiring ideas, will serve as a platform to experience PHM technology as a way of pioneering a digital journey. Prominent scholars, key engineers, and industrial experts from diverse industrial sectors will be brought together to have an in-depth discussion about PHM technologies in a digital transformation era. We would like to welcome all attendees to the PHM Asia Pacific 2021 and look forward to your participation and support. This Special Issue will be composed of selected papers from the PHM Asia Pacific 2021, extended and reviewed to meet the high standard of journal publications.
