WELCOME TO THE WORKSHOP
The design of information infrastructure systems for manufacturing is focussed on as a means to achieve a systematic synthesis of the large variety of communication and information processing requirements of manufacturing systems.
The in-depth treatment, both of the requisites of present-day manufacturing, and of the architectures proposed to cast these requisites, is expected to encourage high-level technical discussions about information infrastructure systems for manufacturing.
We invite all researchers and engineers with an active interest in these topics to join the JSPE-IFIP WG 5.3 Workshop on The Design of Information Infrastructure Systems for Manufacturing (DIISM '93) which will be held at The University of Tokyo, November 8-10, 1993.
The preliminary program includes ten invited papers. It shows a commitment to inter-disciplinarity and quality. The invited papers cover architectures for integrating manufacturing activities and enterprises, information infra- structures, communication networks for manufacturing, production management, flexible manufacturing systems, real time intelligent control, and concurrent engineering. They will feature several case-studies. From the papers submitted for the workshop in response to the call for papers, the program committee will select fifteen to twenty more papers for presentation during the contributed papers sessions.
The final program of the workshop will be announced in September 1993.
Looking forward to meeting you at the workshop in November this year,
Hiroyuki Yoshikawa (General Chairman of DIISM '93)
MOTIVATION
The possible benefits, the external characteristics, and the broad-range requi- rements of information infrastructure systems for intelligent manufacturing systems are widely known. These infrastructure systems should provide low cost and flexible solutions for the information and communication needs of devices and people who collaborate in engineering and manufacturing processes. They should support concurrent engineering, design, planning, control, diagnosing and maintenance along a value-adding, wealth-creating chain of clean manufacturing facilities.
Today many valuable technologies such as computers, communication networks, manufacturing devices and design tools exist, but the software-based amalgama- tion of these technologies requires exorbitant investments, inhibiting - at present - the creation of chains of automated factories which can flexibly and with low costs respond to changing demand on worldwide markets.
A reason for our failure to build intelligent manufacturing systems today is the lack of understanding and agreement about techniques and methods for:
1. coordinating and systematizing the broad-range information processing requirements; and
2. synthesizing these requirements into a deeply structured and comprehensive conceptual model.
This hampers:
3. the development of an information infrastructure amalgamating the conceptual model and computing/communication/storage technologies; and
4. the development of an intelligent manufacturing system amalgamating the information infrastructure with advanced machine tools and skillful people.
The workshop aims to deepen understanding and agreement about methods and techniques for developing an information infrastructure for manufacturing. Some specific objectives are:
1. To bring together and compare a number of techniques and methods for factory/enterprise modeling that help to grasp the wide scope and to understand the deep structure of manufacturing processes;
2. To illustrate the methods and techniques by means of non-trivial examples exhibiting a wide scope and deep structure;
3. To identify and evaluate existing key-technologies for realizing information infrastructure systems;
4. To identify a number of testbeds for which information infrastructure systems have been developed or can be developed;
5. To initiate the public domain development of basic components of information infrastructure systems for manufacturing.
