The purpose of the IFAC Symposium on INFORMATION CONTROL PROBLEMS IN MANUFACTURING is to offer a forum for presenting results of the
international research and development work dealing with applications of optimization methods and automation, information and communication
technologies in the control of the manufacturing plant and the entire supply chain within the e-enterprise. This symposium will address the
scientific challenges and issues raised by the Intelligent Manufacturing System and Supply chain paradigms for optimization and agile digital
control of the entire production system over the whole product and processes life cycle, from the design, through the manufacturing and
maintenance, to the distribution and service.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
Design and Reconfiguration of Manufacturing Systems Facilities Planning and Materials Handling Inventory Control, Production Planning and Scheduling Monitoring, Diagnosis and Maintenance of Manufacturing Systems Probabilistic & Statistical Models in Industrial Plant Control Web-enabled Manufacturing Control and Wireless Automation Process Modeling and Information Systems within the Extended Enterprise Socio-technical and Cognitive Aspects of Automation Intelligent Manufacturing Systems Modeling and Applications Distributed Systems and Multi-agents Technologies Discrete Event Systems Simulation in Manufacturing Operational Research Applications in CAD/CAM/CAE Industrial and Applied Mathematics for Production

V.A. Trapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICS RAS) is the leading Institute on Automatic Control in Russia. It was founded in 1939 and for many years afterwards remained the only scientific organization in the entire Soviet Union in the field of the automatic control. Since the early 60s, the Institute has been actively participating in computer-aided industrial automation. Many large-scale complex control systems in Russia and other countries have been designed under the ICS RAS participation. For several decades, the ICS RAS has developed important research activities in diverse areas of the control theory and its applications in manufacturing. Many scientists known worldwide worked in or collaborated with the ICS RAS. The key research areas of the ICS RAS are: automatic control theory, organizational structures theory, system analysis and control of large-scale systems, control system reliability and efficiency, automation equipment, industrial system identification and control: real-time control, manufacturing, maintenance, robotics, distributed control, logistics, knowledge-based modeling and control, intellectualization of control systems and processes, information systems, and moving object control.
