Second world manufacturing congress

WMC'99, the second world manufacturing conference is designed to be a forum for academia and industry to transfer research to practice, and will take place in Durham, UK, from 27 to 30 September 1999.

The emphasis of this congress is on bringing researchers and industry closer to each other than before, and highlighting the importance of applied as well as theoretical research. The continuous exchange of scientific and technical information is important particularly as the manufacturing industry worldwide is facing increasing difficulties. The impact of other rapidly changing technical sectors, like electronics, automation and computer/information engineering, as well as environmental protection, is forcing change on production processes.

Three separate symposia will make up the congress, comprising the International Symposium on Manufacturing Systems (ISMS'99), the International Symposium on Manufacturing Technology (ISMT'99), and the International Symposium on Manufacturing Management (ISMM'99). For further details on the areas to be covered under these symposia, please consult the conference website, at:
