Proceedings of the Artificial Intelligence and Manufacturing Research Planning Workshop, 1998

Contents

The first (1996) Artificial Intelligence and Manufacturing Workshop focused on research planning and yielded a report summarizing much of the progress and issues in the field, along with a proceedings containing relevant papers. SIGMAN decided as a group to continue this workshop venue by holding the Artificial Intelligence and Manufacturing Workshop on a biannual basis in the US and supporting an international manufacturing workshop at IJCAI (International Joint Conference for Artificial Intelligence) during the alternating years. This year’s workshop focus was the State of the Art and State of the Practice.
