AIEDAM Special Issue:

New AI Paradigms for Manufacturing
Edited by : D.M. Gaines and W.C. Regli

The American Association for Artificial Intelligence's Special Interest Group on Manufacturing workshops ('95,'96,'98, '01) have highlighted some of the significant recent advances in academic research and industrial practice. In 2003 we are sponsoring a special issue of AIEDAM to highlight current successes and to define some of the future challenges.

Original manuscripts are solicited on topics that include:

Agent-based manufacturing systems
Integrated product/process development
Manufacturing process planning
Assembly and task planning
Robotics and automation
Scheduling and resource planning
Knowledge-based manufacturing systems
Learning and intelligent manufacturing systems
E-Commerce and manufacturing
Role of AI in supporting new manufacturing concepts such as agility, virtual manufacturing, etc.

Please submit papers in PDF format to:
Daniel.M.Gaines@jpl.nasa.gov

Note: only PDF files will be accepted.

Papers will be reviewed by a committee in order to select papers for publication in the special issue. Quality papers that are not selected may be considered for standard publication in AIEDAM.
