BASYS'95 IEEE / ECLA / IFIP International Conference on Architectures and Design Methods for Balanced Automation Systems
24-26 July 1995 Vitoria, ES, Brazil
SPONSORS : Commission of the European Community IEEE Robotics and Automation IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics
IFIP WG 5.3
Technical co-sponsor: IEEE Control Systems Society
Local sponsors: SBA - Sociedade Brasileira de Automatica AP3I - Associacao de Programas de Integracao e Informatica Industrial
OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE Many international efforts are being carried out in the area of Integrated and Intelligent Manufacturing Systems, with special emphasis on topics like Information Integration, Integrating Infrastructures, Standards and Reference Models, Intelligent Computer Aided Tools, etc.. In spite of some anthropocentric approaches, most initiatives point to high degrees of automation rarely compatible with the reality of Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) and with the social situation and the growing level of unemployment in developing countries. On the other hand, the globalization of the economy raises tough challenges to manufacturing companies, and particularly to SMEs, independentely of their geographical location. This event aims at providing a forum for presentation and discussion of results and approaches to architectures and design methods for balanced, viz. "appropriate" levels of automation, taking into account the social and economic context. Special emphasis is put on the strategies for migration from legacy systems. Discussion and presentation of international cooperative research and development experiences is also an important goal in the conference program.
SUGGESTED TOPICS: Topics of interest include but are not limited to: -Modeling and evaluation techniques for manufacturing systems -Integrated information systems; standards -Architectures for systems integration -Federated architectures -Design methods for manufacturing systems -Implantation and migration techniques -Evolving to Computer Integrated Business -Anthropocentric approaches -Quality Management Issues -Industrial experiences Proposals for organizing invited sessions are also welcome.
