                       Call for Papers

        Third International Conference on CAD/CAM Automation
                Robotics and Factories of the Future
                 Southfield Hilton, Southfield, MI
                      August 14-17, 1988

The main objective of this conference is to bring together researchers 
and practitioners from government, industries, and academia interested 
in the multidisciplinary and interorganizational productivity aspects 
of advanced manufacturing systems utilizing CAD/CAM, CAE, CIM, Parametric 
Technology, AI, Robotics, Factory of Future, AGV technology, etc., 
and to address productivity enhancement issues of other hybrid automated 
systems that combine machine skills and human intelligence in  areas 
of application both manufacturing (aerospace, automotive, civil,
 electrical, mechanical, industrial, computer, chemical, etc.) and
 non-manufacturing (such as forestry, mining, service and leisure,
 process industry, medicine and rehabilitation).


Papers are invited for the section on AI in Manufacturing and Robotics
of The Third International Conference on CAD/CAM Automation, Robotics and 
Factories of the Future(CAR & FOF). Topics of interest include, but are
 not limited to, the following artificial intellgience areas: 
Manufacturing Workcell Diagnosis, Process Planning, Robot Motion Planning,
Scheduling, Knowledge Representation of Workcells, Sensor-based Programming,
 Vision, and Object Representation.

Deadline: Three copies of an extended abstract should be sent to the section 
organizer at the address given below. Each copy of the extended
 abstract should contain the title of the paper, full name(s) and 
addresses of all authors, objectives, methods and significance of 
the reported results. The closing date for receipt of abstracts is
 February 1, 1988. Authors  will be  notified of acceptance by 
March 15, 1988. Camera-ready manuscript will be due by April 15, 1988.

The section organizer: Dr. Peiya Liu, Siemens Research and Technology Labs,
105 College Road East, Princeton, NJ 08540. Csnet: liu@siemens.com,
