IFAC Workshop on Manufacturing Modelling, Management, and Control - Call for Papers

Nov 14-16, 2007. Budapest, Hungary 

MEETING SCOPE
Manufacturing systems of our days work in a fast changing environment full of uncertainties. Increasing complexity is another feature showing up in production processes and systems, furthermore, in enterprise structures, as well. One of the recent areas of research is related to the globalization of production manifested in production networks.

By using appropriate modelling and digital enterprise (DE) technologies, theoretically, all the important production-related information is available and manageable in a controlled, user-dependent way.

The main concepts of adaptive manufacturing, digital manufacturing, knowledge-based manufacturing, networked manufacturing will be addressed at the Workshop together with requirements for real-time functioning and cooperativeness of the whole system.

The Workshop's objective is to provide an international forum to discuss the state-of-the-art of manufacturing modelling, management and control, to disseminate the recent advances and to share views on perspectives of this highly exciting area.

MAIN TOPICS

  • Product design support systems
  • Modelling, simulation, control and monitoring of manufacturing processes and systems
  • Production planning, scheduling
  • Quality Management
  • Design and implementation methods for CIM
  • Architectures of intelligent manufacturing systems
  • Robotics in manufacturing
  • Complexity, flexibility, transformability, maintainability, reliability, safety and dependability in CIM
    • Integration and communication
    • Artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches
    • Multi-agent approach in the context of manufacturing systems
    • Complex adaptive systems, emergent synthesis in manufacturing
    • Sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, active identifiers, wireless communication in manufacturing
    • Virtual reality and manufacturing
  • Digital factories, extended enterprises, production networks
  • Knowledge management in production
  • Mass customisation
  • Human factors and education

The 2008 MULTICONF - Call for Papers

The 2008 MULTICONF (website: www.PromoteResearch.org) will be held during July 7-10 2008 in Orlando, FL, USA. We invite draft paper
submissions and session proposals. It consists of the following events:

International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition (AIPR-08)

International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Control Systems (ARCS-08)

International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-08)

International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems and Web Technologies (EISWT-08)

International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking and Communication Systems (HPCNCS-08)

International Conference on Software Engineering Theory and Practice (SETP-08)

International Conference on Theoretical and Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (TMFCS-08)

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.
