CALL FOR PAPERS
CAPE '89
The Third IFIP International Conference on
Computer Applications in Production and Engineering
October 2-5, 1989, Tokyo, JAPAN
INTRODUCTION
The International Conference on Computer Applications in
Production and Engineering (CAPE) is intended to identify and
encourage research, development and applications of computer
hardware/software technologies and new concepts that will improve
manufacturing activities, such as specification, planning,
design, production, control and quality assurance.
It is organized, every three years, by the Technical Committee 5
(TC5 - Computer Applications in Technology) of the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), where the primary
aim is to promote further interactions between theoretical
aspects of computer science and practical applications in
industry. The past two conferences in Europe were held in
Amsterdam in 1983 and Copenhagen in 1986. This third conference
will be held in Japan, outside Europe for the first time.
Computer Applications in Production and Engineering have been
widely spread into industry, and a high level of manufacturing
automation has caused substantial effects on engineering and
social aspects of production. The automation technology has
ripened sufficiently to arouse some changes in ideas and
paradigms about the role of human beings and information
processing technology in production and engineering. It is
important to consider new paradigms and future innovations in
manufacturing technology foreseen for the coming century.
Therefore the principal objective of the conference is to provide
an international forum to understand the current research trends
and to promote exchange of experiences and future ideas in
research and development of Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer
Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE),
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) and Production Management
(PM) systems. There will also be an emphasis on the
specification, documentation and operations of such systems.
Technical papers which address the leading edge of research and
development in production and engineering are solicited. Also
numbers of coordinated invited papers will be provided by
prominent experts for extensive survey and forecast of the
technology.

2.3 Integration and Distribution
This section will discuss enabling technologies to realize
integrated manufacturing information systems, and the change in
the manufacturing environment due to the development of
communications and computer network technology. Focus will be on
inter/intra factory network and application technologies for
distributed systems.

System Architecture, System Integration Technique, System Life
Cycle Management, Data Base Exchange and Integration,
Communication Interface Specification, LAN, Wide Area Network,
Network Standardization.
3. Industrial Application Systems
This section will deal with the present status, issues and
future trends of computer aided systems in manufacturing
industries. Focus will be on the results of the 1980's and on the
outlook of technology and systems in the 1990's toward the 21st
century. Examples of advanced systems in actual use will be
discussed.
Topics:
Expert Systems, Knowledge Engineering in Applications,
Simulation Software, CAD, CAM, CAT, CAE, FMS, CIM, MIS,
Scheduling, Manufacturing Control, Production Management,
Automated Manufacturing, LAN.
4. Impact by Advanced Technology
Rapid progress in advanced technologies is producing a great
effect on the social as well as the technological environment in
industries. Especially automation technology through the
introduction of AI and Robotics has given a substantial impact on
the role of engineers. This section will deal with these
problems, and consider the possible ways to overcome future
difficulties.
Topics:
Human Factors, Social Issues and Implications.
PROGRAM
On the first day of the conference, a tutorial seminar will be
given for in-depth understanding of existing technology. For the
following three days, the conference will be organized in three
parallel technical sessions. There will be a plenary session each
day for invited papers. The official language of the conference
is English. After the conference, a one day post-conference tour
will be made.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
Prospective authors are requested to submit four copies of
extended abstracts to:
Conference Secretariat-CAPE'89
c/o Conference Department
Business Center for Academic Societies Japan
