Focus of the workshop
This workshop is intended to provide a forum for practitioners and
researchers to exchange ideas and report successful techniques to
intelligently diagnose and control manufacturing processes.
The emphasis of this workshop is to examine how AI techniques can complement
traditional techniques such as statistical process control, digital control,
optimization theory, and operations research in helping manufacturing
facilities. We are looking for participants working in the following areas:
1. Developing functioning intelligent diagnostic/control systems in
manufacturing facilities.
2. Architectures and methodologies that specifically address issues of
intelligent diagnostic and control systems for manufacturing.
The workshop is by invitation only. In order to facilitate discussion,
the workshop will be limited to no more than 50 participants. All
extended abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee and full
papers will be published in a proceeding.
Milestones:
March 26 1990: three copies of extended abstract (maximum four pages)
received by Bill Chu.
April 23, 1990: acceptance invitation mailed out.
May 18, 1990: full paper received by Bill Chu for workshop proceedings.
No exceptions can be granted for the above deadlines. Submissions are
encouraged to include e-mail addresses to speed up communications.
