 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

 Many international efforts are being carried out in the area of
Integrated and Intelligent Manufacturing Systems, with special
emphasis on topics like Information Integration, Integrating
Infrastructures, Standards and Reference Models, Intelligent Computer
Aided Tools, etc..
 In spite of some anthropocentric approaches, most initiatives point
to high degrees of automation rarely compatible with the reality of
Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) and with the social situation
and the growing level of unemployment in developing countries.
 On the other hand, the globalization of the economy raises tough
challenges to manufacturing companies, and particularly to SMEs,
independentely of their geographical location.
 This event aims at providing a forum for presentation and discussion
of results and approaches to architectures and design methods for
balanced, viz. "appropriate" levels of automation, taking into account
the social and economic context. Special emphasis is put on the
strategies for migration from legacy systems. Discussion and
presentation of international cooperative research and development
experiences is also an important goal in the conference program.
 
 
 SUGGESTED TOPICS:
 Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
    -Modeling and evaluation techniques for manufacturing systems
    -Integrated information systems; standards
    -Architectures for systems integration
    -Federated architectures
    -Design methods for manufacturing systems
    -Implantation and migration techniques
    -Anthropocentric approaches
    -Industrial experiences
