Organised by INRIA (National Research Institute for Computer Science and Automation)
in association with
- EU DG III ESPRIT CIME, - IFIP WG 5.7 on Production Management, - IFAC TC on Manufacturing Modelling, Management and Control, - GSIP-CNRS (Groupement Scientifique Interdisciplinaire pour la Productique), - ENSGI (National Engineering School on Industrial Engineering, Grenoble).
At a time when most industrial companies must lean their management and manufacturing operations and increase the efficiency of their day-to-day business processes, many enterprises face a crucial need for advanced systems engineering tools and methods. Existing and/or new systems must be formally modelled, analysed, specified and prototyped as part of the engineering or re-engineering process. This happens at various levels of details and from different angles or viewpoints. Then, operations can be integrated on the basis of these models.
It is therefore necessary to provide the European industry with tools and techniques for modelling, analysis and specification of modern manufacturing systems. However, in order to avoid duplication of efforts, incompatible solutions or out of the scope solutions, IT users and IT vendors should define a consensus on IT requirements for integrated manufacturing systems engineering so that IT solutions (tools and techniques) meet true industry requirements.
GENERAL INFORMATION -------------------
Workshop Objectives: -------------------- The major aim of the Workshop is to bring together European experts from industry and academia to address and discuss key issues for industry concerning integrated manufacturing systems engineering. More specifically, the objectives are: - to establish the current state of understanding on theoretical results, models, techniques and tools for manufacturing systems modelling, specification, evaluation and integration; - to identify and prioritize areas (theoretical or technical) requiring urgent research advances according to real industrial needs; - to discuss the role of Information Technology (IT) in design and manufacturing; - to identify and discuss standardisation needs for integrated manufacturing; - to progress towards a European consensus on enterprise modelling and integration technology so that future developments can be part of a comprehensive plan of action to improve competitiveness of European industry including SMEs.
Targeted Audience: ------------------ The Workshop is targeted both to scientists and professionals (managers, R&D engineers, industrial engineers) from manufacturing enterprises and service companies concerned with business process engineering or reorganisation, manufacturing system design and analysis as well as enterprise integration. Contributors and invited speakers will come from academia, industrial companies or consulting companies involved in manufacturing system modelling, analysis, specification, evaluation and integration. Results from some ESPRIT projects and the AIT Initiative will also be reported.
Operational Issues: ------------------ The number of participants will be limited to 80 (50 seats are reserved to speakers; additional registrations will be made on a first-come first-served policy). Early registration is recommended. The number of parallel sessions will be minimised. Each day will start with an invited talk followed by technical sessions for regular paper presentation. Working group meetings on specific topics identified during technical discussions can be held at the end of each day. A closing session with reports from working groups will conclude the meeting. The Workshop will be followed by a two-day standardisation meeting of CEN/TC 310/WG1 working on enterprise modelling and architectures. All participants must register.
Registration Fees: ------------------ Registration fees include a copy of the Workshop proceedings, lunches, coffe breaks and a banquet. Registration fees have been fixed as follows (including all taxes):
