National Organizing Committee

Chairman:
G.  Hencsey

Scope

In Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMSs), within certain
limits, unprecedented, unforeseen situations and problems are
expected to be solved even on the basis of incomplete and
imprecise information, as was formulated by the late Joe Hatvany
in 1983.

This conference is the second event of a series which started
in 1991 with the First Workshop on Learning in Intelligent
Manufacturing Systems, March 6-8, 1991, Budapest, as a branch of
the International Summer Seminars on Intelligent Manufacturing
Systems organized by V.  Milacic. The workshop material was
published also by North Holland as the Special Issue of the
Journal Computers in Industry on Learning in Intelligent
Manufacturing Systems 1991.

Time passed since then demonstrated the importance of the chosen
area. On the one hand, Intelligent Manufacturing Systems has
become, in a broader sense, the central element of manufacturing
research and development (we need only refer to the world-wide
IMS Project).  On the other hand, learning is a key issue in
implementing systems with intelligent performance. In this
aspect The second International Workshop on Learning in
Intelligent Manufacturing Systems offers a unique opportunity
for both AI and manufacturing experts to meet and exchange ideas
in this highly relevant and exciting field.
