2nd International Conference Organized by the Eindhoven University of Technology Eindhoven, The Netherlands September 16-18, 1996
SPONSORED BY: IFIP WG 5.3 - CAM IFIP WG 5.7 - Production Engineering PDI-CALS (NL) CIMOSA Association (D) GLENnet Association (D)
SCOPE: New information and communication technologies are adding new opportunities to enterprises and are changing the ways of competition and cooperation. Extended enterprises, where core functionalities are provided separately by different companies that come together to provide a customer defined product, are emerging. They need a stable infrastructure to share information and to coordinate decisions and control, with common methods and integrated telematics applications for order processing, contract negotiation, cooperation in product and service development, etc.
CONFERENCE THEMES: Building on the success of the first DIISM workshop (Tokyo, 1993) this conference will further elaborate on: (a) the co-ordination and systematization of inform-ation processing requirements and their synthesis into deeply structured, easily adaptable and comprehensive con-ceptual models; (b) the development of information infrastructures amalgamating the conceptual models with computing/ communication/storage technologies; and (c) the development of intelligent manufacturing systems amalgamating the information infrastructures with ad-vanced machine tools and skillful people. New themes of the conference are: (d) the design of models for extended enterprises and product life cycles; and (e) the definition of related infrastructure services.
The conference program will leave much room for discussion and exchange of views. The conference is also a meeting place for new initiatives for joint work between research and practice.
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES: A major goal is to deepen the under-standing and agreement about design methods, languages, reference frame-works, and architectures for information infrastructure systems for manufacturing industry. Some specific objectives are: --to compare and evaluate modelling methods and languages that support one to better understand information infrastructure systems for manufacturing --to derive recommendations from cases where infrastructure services have been designed or implemented --to compare and evaluate documented model design cases --to expand enterprise models and product models such that they can be applied for modelling extended enterprises and product life cycles --to identify targets and requirements for "a process-centered re-engineering into a coherent body of standards" for product/process modelling
PARTICIPANTS: Participants will be, on the one hand, professionals in the field of enterprise & product modelling and/or manufacturing engineering, as well as providers of supportive IT-tools. On the other hand, the scientific community will be represented. The number of participants will be about 100.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Submissions should include five copies of the full paper (8-12 pages), without authors' names and affiliations, and a covering letter with the authors' names and affiliation, and with address and E-mail of the corresponding author. Submission address:
