The First WESIC Workshop on scientific and industrial collaboration to promote advanced technologies in manufacturing will take place 10-12 June 1998 in Girona, Spain. The aim of the Workshop is to provide a forum where companies, universities, institutes, and research centres may interchange experiences in meeting the needs of advanced technology in manufacturing systems. The workshop will be of particular interest to those companies and institutions that are interested in collaborating in scientific projects in their sector. The intention is to identify common points of interest in order to participate in collaborative actions such as: research agreements, integration of PhD students in european companies, transfer of technology, thematic networks, European Community research projects, etc.

The programme will comprise two days of presentations per sector (15 minutes for each presentation), and one day of specific meetings and round table discussions. Tutorial sessions giving guidelines for completion of application forms will be given by experts, of both Universities and Companies.

The Workshop will focus on control and related technologies applied to the following subjects:

1. ROBOTICS INTEGRATED IN MANUFACTURING
2. CONTROL OF MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS
3. COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING
4. IMAGE PROCESSING & COMPUTER VISION
5. INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS IN MANUFACTURING AND CONTROL
6. QUALITY CONTROL
7. COMMUNICATIONS AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

The Programme Committee invites participants to submit one paper, outlining:

For companies: A clear description of the activity and the research interests for the future, with the intention of improving aspects such as design, productivity, and quality. Suggestions for tutorial or organised sessions are strongly appreciated.

For universities/research centres: A clear description of the main research activity, including industrial collaboration experiences and results achieved. Suggestions for tutorial or organised sessions are strongly appreciated.
