Subject: CFP: CE95 Second Conference
CE95 SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS Washington, DC Area August 23-25, 1995
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
CE95, Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications, is a major forum for the international scientific exchange and presentation of multi-disciplinary and inter-organizational aspects of concurrent engineering (CE). The focus is on the use of integrated enterprise processes, collaborative work, information sharing, co-locating resources, and integrated frameworks and tools. This conference addresses research and applications issues of CE.
CE95 is sponsored by Concurrent Technologies Corporation, GE Corporate Research and Development, the International Society for Productivity Enhancement, and the CERA Journal. It is hosted by Concurrent Technologies Corporation, Johnstown, PA, USA.
Topics of Interest:
Submissions are invited on substantial, original and previously unpublished research in all areas of product design, engineering and manufacturing, including, but not limited to:
* Enterprise integration (e.g., assessing an organization's readiness, CE assessment models, integrated process capture, re- engineering enterprise processes, CE metrics, barriers to CE, agile manufacturing, virtual enterprises)
* Cooperative work (e.g., team coordination, common visibility of activities and data, monitoring progress of product development, change notification across perspectives, conflict resolution techniques, constraints management, planning and scheduling of activities, workflow, cooperative problem solving, computer support for team structure)
* Information sharing (e.g., information modeling and simulation, data version control and management, PDES/STEP, multi-level user access, capturing corporate history, enterprise multimedia notebooks, design rationale, integrated database and knowledgebase management systems)
* Communication tools (e.g., computer-based video and audio conferring and consulting, multimedia electronic mail, network- wide sharing of tools, graphical collaborative user interfaces for inter-operability)
* Integrated frameworks and tools (e.g., architectures for building concurrent engineering systems, integration of tools, integration of design and manufacturing, knowledge-based integration)
* Life cycle engineering (e.g., design for X, integrated product and process development, environmentally conscious design and manufacturing, life-cycle cost and quality)
* Practical applications of CE in industry (e.g., case studies, practical solutions, systematic guidelines, pitfalls and success stories)
Timetable:
* Authors should submit a full draft paper, not exceeding 16 single spaced pages, to the Program Co-Chairs or Program Chair, no later than January 1, 1995 (preferably by E-mail in plain ASCII or PostScript). Submissions received after that date will be returned unopened.
* Notification of acceptance or rejection will be mailed to the first author (or designated author) on or before February 28, 1995.
* Final camera-ready versions of the papers must be received by April 15, 1995. Details of the format will be sent later.
Conference Proceedings:
* Conference Proceedings will be published by an International Publishing House or by Concurrent Technologies Corporation.
* Selected expanded papers will be reviewed for inclusion in a special issue of the international journal, Concurrent Engineering: Research and Application (CERA). For Information about CERA Journal, write to:
