The SIGMAN Business meeting was held at IJCAI in August 1995. The discussion centered on two major items.
Lack of Elections in 1995. Elections for SIGMAN officers have not been held in 1995, due to lack of any contested post. Those offices up for election had at most one candidate who had expressed interest. Holding elections with just one candidate per position appeared to be more work than the outcome merited. Concerns were expressed at the meeting about the importance of holding elections regularly, as required by the SIGMAN bylaws. However, after additional discussion, the SIGMAN Council decided there was not enough time to find candidates, distribute the election ballots to the SIGMAN members, and complete the voting process by the end of 1995. Instead of having two elections in six months, the Council decided to start immediately searching for candidates for next year elections.
Since the Area Chair Distribution and Field Service was left vacant by the resignation of Anil Rewari, the SIGMAN Council appointed Leslie Interrante to the position until the next elections.
All positions in the Council are up for election this year. The nomination process is open to the general SIGMAN membership. Please don't be shy or modest, and nominate yourself if you are willing to devote some of your time and energy to the success of SIGMAN. Send nominations to either of the Co-Chairs, Steve Smith or Mark Boddy, preferably by March 31, 1996.
Names and addresses of all SIGMAN officers are listed at the end of this Newsletter.
SIGMAN Workshop. Time was spent discussing the possibility of holding a workshop apart from AAAI/IJCAI, an idea that has been kicked around several times in the past but has never happened. One proposal was to co-locate with the NSF DDM Conference to be held at Sandia (a gathering of NSF sponsored manufacturing related research). The nice aspect of doing this would be cross-fertilization with this crowd. The downside is that the NSF DDM Conference happens early in January, which gives very little lead time. Leslie Interrante agreed to explore the possibility of NSF support, Bill Regli offered to explore possible interest by NIST in supporting a SIGMAN workshop. These efforts have beared fruit and a SIGMAN Workshop will be held in June. See the details in the next section of this Newsletter.
June 24-26, 1996, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Organized by AAAI's Special Interest Group in Manufacturing.
Motivation and Overview
Over the past decade, Artificial Intelligence concepts and techniques have been productively applied to diverse aspects of manufacturing decision-making, ranging from product and process development, to production management, to process diagnosis and quality control. It is no longer a question of whether AI technologies will have an impact on manufacturing but one of better understanding and exploiting the broad potential of AI in this domain. New manufacturing concepts and philosophies such as lean manufacturing, agile manufacturing, virtual manufacturing and holonic manufacturing place increasing emphasis on the need for more intelligent manufacturing systems, and there is general consensus that AI technologies will play a key role in the manufacturing enterprise of the future.
One continuing obstacle to more rapid development and application of AI in manufacturing is the low bandwidth of communication (of problems, approaches and solutions) between the manufacturing and AI research disciplines. From an AI standpoint, manufacturing is seen as a rich application area and research driver. However, too often work has proceeded without good understanding of the actual problems faced by manufacturing organizations, and the solutions developed are consequently seen to offer only marginal practical gain. From the manufacturing side, there is general recognition that AI has important contributions to make, but there is also limited understanding of AI technologies and their relevance to manufacturing problems.
A research planning workshop will be held which will be aimed at bringing together experts and practitioners in both Artificial Intelligence and Manufacturing, and bridging the gaps between problem and solution perspectives.
The workshop will specifically focus on building greater mutual understanding of important research challenges and technological potential in this field, breaking down the cultural barriers that currently exist between these two disciplines, and fostering future interaction and collaboration within these two communities toward the realization of intelligent manufacturing systems.
Much of the research in AI and Manufacturing is sponsored at least in part by government organizations. The workshop provides a venue for researchers from a variety of government organizations along with their industry contractors to exchange information regarding relevant technologies with academic and industry researchers. We hope that such an exchange will enhance research efforts by unifying researchers of like interests from a variety of organizations.
Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
To emphasize broad-based coverage and consensus on issues, we have solicited participation from within the programs of several organizations that sponsor or are otherwise involved in intelligent manufacturing research, including NSF, NIST, DOE, and ARPA, and we have encouraged involvement from professional groups such as AAAI-SIGMAN, and the INFORMS College of AI. Funding from the sponsoring organizations will be used to defray participants' expenses as much as possible.
Plans/Format
The workshop will be 2 1/2 days, from the evening of June 24 to June 26, in Albuquerque, New Mexico (hosted by Sandia National Laboratory). We are anticipating on the order of 100-125 workshop attendees.
Paper submission
Please send three copies of one of the three types of submissions described below to Leslie Interrante, MS 0722, PO Box 5800, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM 87185 by .
Paper submission: an extended abstract of no more than 10 pages describing either:
All submissions will be reviewed by the organizing committee. Based on these reviews, a subset of the paper submissions will be accepted for presentation at the workshop. One or more panel sessions will also be organized. The overall workshop will be organized as a combination of parallel (paper) sessions and plenary (panel, invited speaker) sessions. Our goal is to maximize the time available for interaction and discussion among workshop participants. A working notes/proceedings will be provided at the workshop that includes the final papers and interest statements. We are exploring different options here, including publication as a AAAI technical report. We also intend to publish a summary of the workshop in an appropriate forum (e.g., AI magazine). Subsequent development of a journal special issue comprised of a set of expanded workshop papers is also a possibility.
Workshop Organizing Committee
The workshop organizing committee (listed below) includes the current leadership of AAAI's Special Interest Group in Manufacturing and collectively has connections to a broad range of organizations and corporations involved in AI in manufacturing research. Members of the organizing committee also have extensive prior experience in organizing successful workshops in the area of AI and manufacturing.

Web site on Virtual Manufacturing
The Institute for Systems Research has a web site on Virtual Manufacturing (VM), at the following URL:
http://www.isr.umd.edu/Labs/CIM/virtual.html
We have funding from the ManTech program to maintain this site as a clearinghouse for information on VM.
Currently the site contains several reports related to VM, as well as hypertext links to a large number of research projects around the world. During the next few months, we also hope to install some VM tools on the web.
If you are doing a research project related to VM and would like us to include information about it at our site, there's a web form that you can fill out.
If you have any questions, send email to virtual@isr.umd.edu.

Web site on Assembly Planning
Two resources are now available on the World-Wide Web for those interested in assembly planning. One is a directory of WWW sites that describe research in assembly planning, at the following URL:
http://www.sandia.gov/2121/archimedes/APing.html
The other is an assembly sequence planning bibliography:
http://www.cs.tamu.edu/research/robotics/Wolter/asp/bib.html
Logistical information such as who maintains the sites, how to contribute, etc., are available there. The intent of both sites is to retain a fairly narrow focus on assembly planning, and not include the many related areas.
Please look at these pages, point out omissions, and reference them in your own WWW pages describing your work on assembly planning or related areas.

Proceedings, First International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems, Victor Lesser, General Chair. AAAI Press/The MIT Press. 1995. 472 pages. $70.00. ISBN 0-262-62102-9.
The proceedings include 52 papers, 6 invited speaker papers, and a large number of poster sessions. The applications covered in the papers span a wide variety of areas, including manufacturing, robotics, organization management, electronic commerce, scheduling, engineering design. Multi-agent systems are computational systems in which multiple autonomous or semi-autonomous agents interact to perform some task. The research in multi-agent systems focuses on problem solving, communication, and coordination at a more abstract level than the lower-level issues typical of distributed computing. The material is timely (the Conference was held in June 1995) and reflects very well the state of the art in the rapidly growing field of multi-agent systems.
An Introduction to Neural Networks, James A. Anderson. The MIT Press. 1995. 650 pages, hardcover. $55.00. ISBN 0-262-01144-1.
The emphasis of the book is the use of neural networks more than on formal analysis of neural network algorithms. This book is unique, among other books on the same subject, because of the emphasis on describing the biological representation of data, presenting examples of biological and cognitive computation, and constantly using inspiration from neurobiology. The book presents many of the well known neural network algorithms, including linear associators, perceptrons, Hopfield networks, Boltzmann machines, and Kohonen maps. Backpropagation is covered with other gradient descent algorithms. The book has an incredible collection of examples, and contains a wealth of material, always presented with precise mathematical formulations and with an eye on biological neural networks.
Neural Networks for Control, W. Thomas Miller III, Richard S. Sutton, and Paul J. Werbos (eds). The MIT Press. 1995. 524 pages. $25.00. ISBN 0-262-63161.
The book contains a collection of papers originally presented at a workshop held at the University of New Hampshire in October 1988. The papers are organized in three parts: general principles, motion control, and application domains. The emphasis is on application of neural network to control problems for dynamical systems. The distinctive aspects of the control problems studied here is that they require closed-loop interaction with their environment. Process control, manufacturing, flight control, and autonomous vehicles are covered in the applications. Seven well known control problems are described precisely and completely in the appendix, providing a useful set of benchmarks.
Computation & Intelligence, George F. Luger (ed). AAAI Press/The MIT Press. 1995. 735 pages. $35.00. ISBN 0-262-62101-0.
The book is a collection of twenty-nine fundamental papers in Artificial Intelligence. The papers cover a long period of time, from the historical roots of AI up to very recent papers, and span over a variety of topics, from foundations of AI, to knowledge representation, weak methods for problem solving, reasoning about complex and dynamical environments, and recent thoughts by two pioneers of AI, Marvin Minsky and Herbert Simon. All the references are collected at the end of the book, providing a handy reference for the readers interested in exploring the subject more in depth. The collection is extremely valuable for integrating the background issues and current practices that define the field of AI.
