This conference provides a focused gathering of researchers and practitioners in manufacturing with researchers and practitioners in AI to discuss how AI-based technology is used today and what needs to be done to increase the use of AI for addressing manufacturing problems. The workshop will provide a forum for reviewing the state of the art and the state of practice and for discussing promising new avenues for research and applications.

Albuquerque, the "Duke City", was founded in 1706. Albuquerque is the largest city in the state of New Mexico and is a favorite tourist destination, with a wealth of historic sites, more art galleries (in Albuquerque and Santa Fe) than Paris, France, unique cuisine and natural beauty. It's located in the Rio Grande Valley tucked in amongst mountain ranges and desert mesas. Your stay promises to be an unforgettable experience!
