SIGMAN Workshop on Intelligent Manufacturing Technology

Description: This one day workshop attempts to bring together researchers 
	developing the manufacturing technology to support "art to part"
	manufacturing.  Such 
	technology employs artificial intelligence to meld the different phases
	of design and manufacturing.  Areas of
	interest include algorithms for scheduling, planning and controlling
	systems.  Other areas of interest include architectures, 
	representations and standards to support intelligent manufacturing.
	Reusable, cross-domain, and process-integrating efforts are of 
	particular interest.  Successful systems addressing difficult job-shop
	scheduling; algorithms for design coordination and concurrency;
	manufacturing simulation;  high tolerance 
	manufacturing;integrated design and manufacturing;
	integrating distributed, heterogeneous knowledge-bases;
	and many-coordinated machines manufacturing will also be examined.

Topics:	Artificial Intelligence Architectures for Manufacturing
	Representations, Standards and Formal Specifications for Manufacturing
	Advanced Methods to Control Manufacturing Processes
	Deployed Intelligent Manufacturing Systems.

Format of Workshop: Moderated panels consisting of from three to five
	individuals will be organized around technology areas
	relating to the topics.  Each panelist will be given an opportunity
	to present followed by group discussion.

Submission requirements: Authors are requested to submit evidence of their
	interest and work in the field in one of two forms.  The first is
	to send three copies of a paper	of up to six pages.  The second form
	is electronically mailing a one or two page abstract of the
	researcher's interests and work in intelligent manufacturing.
	All submissions should be made to the workshop chair.

Submission deadline: March 12, 1993
Notification deadline: April 2, 1993
Final date for camera-ready copies: April 30, 1993
