Towards the Virtual Enterprise in Food Industry Information flows and processes in a SME network Developing IT-enabled virtual enterprises in construction Using an Informal Ontology in the Development of a Planning and Control System — the Case of the Virtual Enterprise Federated Knowledge Integration and Machine Learning in Water Distribution Networks Exploration of an unknown environment by a mobile robot Genetic Algorithms — Constraint Logic Programming. Hybrid Method for Job Shop Scheduling Kinematic study of biped locomotion systems Adaptive hybrid impedance control of robot manipulators: A comparative study A Cell Controller Architecture Solution: Description and Analysis of Performance and Costs Strategies and fundamental structures for FMS tool flow systems Analytical Assessment of Tooling Requirements for FMS Design and Operation Sustainable software design with design patterns SimBa: A Simulation and Balancing System for Manual Production Lines SOMA: an organic and autonomous approach to manufacturing planning and control, This book addresses the challenges faced by SMEs due to the globalization of the economy and discusses supporting technologies. A number of important topics are addressed including: industrial strategies for peripheral regions; engineering and penetration of new markets; engineering and industrial survival in open markets; regional protection against newcomers; globalization of the economy and subcontracting; and the achievement of the appropriate balance of automation and human-centred manufacturing. It contains the selected proceedings of the International Conference on Integrated and Sustainable Industrial Production, sponsored by the International Federation of Information Processing, IEEE and the Portuguese Association of Engineers and held in Lisbon, Portugal in May 1997. Reengineering for Sustainable Industrial Production is essential reading for engineers, managers, research personnel, and senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer integrated manufacturing, production management and automation systems. small geographical regions, One Invited Talks -- 1 Business process and shop floor re-engineering -- 2 IT support for the generic tactical decision making process of pricing in competitive consumer markets -- 3 The time based competition paradigm -- 4 Virtual reality in manufacturing -- Two Virtual Enterprises I -- 5 Cross border enterprises: virtual and extended! -- 6 Towards the virtual enterprise in food industry -- Three Virtual Enterprises II -- 7 Information flows and processes in a SME network -- 8 Developing IT-enabled virtual enterprises in construction -- 9 Using an informal ontology in the development of a planning and control system -- the case of the virtual enterprise -- Four Learning and Genetic Algorithms -- 10 Federated knowledge integration and machine learning in water distribution networks -- 11 Exploration of an unknown environment by a mobile robot -- 12 Genetic algorithms -- constraint logic programming.
