INVITATION
Design of Information Infrastructure Systems for Manufacturing (DIISM'96)
2nd International Conference Organized by the Eindhoven University of Technology Eindhoven, The Netherlands September 16-18, 1996
WELCOME TO DIISM'96 The Design of information infrastructure systems for manufacturing is focused on achievements in five areas: (a) the coordination and systematisation of information processing requirements and their synthesis into comprehensive conceptual models; (b) the development of information infrastructures amalgamating the conceptual models with computing, communication and storage technologies; (c) the development of intelligent manufacturing systems amalgamating the information infrastructures with advanced machine tools and skilful people; (d) conceptual modelling for extended enterprises and product life cycles; and (e) the definition of information and command services for enterprises co- operating in engineering and manufacturing.
We invite all researchers and engineers with an active interest in these topics to join the DIISM'96 conference and to exchange their views with other experts from industry and the research and development community.
The international conference is structured into three days of plenary and parallel sessions, complemented by industrial visits on the fourth day. Plenary sessions will focus on keynote presentations from senior industrialists and researchers, and on leading-edge applied development projects. A special session is devoted to the international Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) project. The parallel sessions are in two streams, the a-stream deals with infrastructure for manufacturing and engineering processes, and the b-stream emphasises enterprise modelling and its applications. A discussion session will focus on recommendations for R&D on information infrastructures for manufacturing.
The conference will leave much room for discussion and exchange of views and experiences. It will also be a meeting place for new initiatives for joint research and development.
We are looking forward to meeting you in September, at the conference which is situated at the world's best amusement park 1992, "De Efteling".
Hans Wortmann, Conference Chairman
MOTIVATION 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 proces-sing, contract negotiation, cooperation in product and service development, etc. Infrastructure services should provide low-cost, flexible and inter-operable solutions for the information and communication needs of devices, people and enterprises as they cooperate in manufacturing processes and engineering and entrepreneurial projects. They should support concurrent engineering, design, planning, control, diagnosing and maintenance in value-adding, wealth-creating chains and networks of clean manufacturing facilities and environmentally conscious enterprises, as they respond to changing demand on global markets.

TARGET GROUP The conference is mainly designed for researchers, engineers and computer scient ists working in production engineering, computer aided manufacturing, information technology for industrial enterprises, enterprise modelling and enterprise model execution services.
LOCATION The conference is hosted by the Eindhoven University of Technology and will be held at the Efteling Hotel in Kaatsheuvel, a small village half an hour from Eindhoven. Eindhoven is the main industrial centre in the south of Holland, between Rotterdam, the port of Europe", and the largest industrial area in Germany and Europe, the Ruhrgebiet. Both DAF Trucks and Philips have their headquarters located at Eindhoven. The Conference hotel is situated at the world's best amusement park 1992, " De Efteling". The Efteling is the only picture book in the world you can walk through.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS Post conference proceedings will be published by Chapman & Hall and are included in the conference fees. Participants will get a pre-print of presented papers, which will be handed out at the begining of the conference.
CONFERENCE DINNER On Tuesday, September 17, a trip will be arranged to the Delta-works. We will visit the Delta- works by boat which will allow us to see that it takes more than just a finger in the dike to prevent the sea from flooding the lower land. The conference dinner will be served during the boat trip.
