Newsletter for October 2007
Analytical
Support for Product Design & Manufacturing
Since 1990s, data mining and mathematical techniques have been increasingly
used in manufacturing to extract knowledge for design optimization, quality
assurance, product testing, process improvement, predictive maintenance, fault
detection, and decision support. In today's competitive market, analytical
power is more important than ever.
Please read an important article "Data Mining in Manufacturing: A
Review" published in the Journal of Manufacturing Science and
Engineering. You will see how the importance of data mining in manufacturing
has clearly increased.

IFAC MCPL 2007
The 4th International Federation
of Automatic Control (IFAC) Conference on Management and Control of
Production and Logistics
The conference will bring together researchers, from both academia and
industry, from four different areas:
- Automatic Control,
- Control of Production and Logistics and Management,
- Computer Science and Computer Engineering,
- Industrial Engineering
to promote a synergy among different disciplines in order to solve
complex scientifical and technical challenges.
This meeting covers recent progress in the conference topics,
encompassing methodological approaches, methods, tools and applications.

IFAC CEFIS 2007
IFAC Symposium on Computational
Economics & Financial and Industrial Systems
The
symposium is aimed to bring together researchers from both academia and
industry who are interested in areas of Control, Decision and
Management applied to Business, Financial, Manufacturing and Production
Systems and wider areas of Economics, Finance and Manufacturing. The
attention is given to the recent theoretical and application
developments in all related fields and the respective concepts, models
and methodologies.
CEFIS
2007 will address issues and problems that are relevant to the use of
computational methods in economics, finance and industry by management
communities. The symposium will consist of research papers and
application case sessions, and topics will cover all aspects from
theory to technology and applications. The research works of interest
include, but are not limited to: knowledge representation and
acquisition (knowledge-based decision support systems, expert systems,
learning systems), problem-solving paradigm (fuzzy logic, dynamic game
techniques, minimax techniques, neural networks, optimization methods,
qualitative reasoning), and human-machine interface (interactive
symbiosis, hypertext, multimedia, natural language). Computational
methods and their applications in accounting, banking, business
economics, finance, macro-economics, and manufacturing industry as well
as the respective decision, control and management systems make up the
focus of the symposium. Papers reporting on practical case-study
implementations are particularly encouraged and welcome.

International MultiConference of Engineers and
Computer (IMECS 2008)
19-21 March, 2008, Hong Kong
http://www.iaeng.org/IMECS2008
The IMECS 2008 is organized by the International Association of
Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for
the
engineers and the computer scientists. The conference has the focus on
the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and
computer science subjects. The IMECS conferences serve as good
platforms for our members and the entire engineering community to meet
with each other and to exchange ideas. Our IMECS committees have been
formed with over two hundred and sixty committees members who are
mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads,
professors, and research scientists from over 30 countries. The last
IMECS 2007 has attracted more than one thousand participants from over
50 countries.
All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will
be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-98671-8-8).
The abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic
databases. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication
in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in IAENG
journals and in edited books. Revised and expanded version of the
selected papers may also be included as book chapters in the standalone
edited books under the framework of cooperation between IAENG and
Springer.
The IMECS 2008 is composed of the following 13 conferences (all will be
held at the same location and date):
ICAIA'08
The 2008 IAENG International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and
Applications
ICB'08
