Travel to NATO Advanced Research Workshop for U.S. Participants; Grenoble, France, June 15-19, 1988

由北约资助的一个高级研究讲习班强调研究和应用信息技术，以控制制造环境中的材料流动。将审查这一专题目前的世界状况，并制定必要研究的议程。研讨会的主要主题包括：1)物流领域内信息的性质，2)当代工程和物流数据库的现状，3)分布式数据库和信息集成，4)物流领域的人工智能(AI)方法和模型，5)物流系统的数字通信，6)机器人和物流控制，7)物料搬运和储存系统的信息和控制，8)与上述相关的实施、组织和经济研究问题。来自学术界和工业界的大约30名国际研究人员将参加。这笔赠款是为了让美国的研究人员参与进来。

An Advanced Research Workshop funded by NATO emphasizes research and application of information technology for material flow control in manufacturing environments. The current world status of this topic will be reviewed and an agenda for needed research will be established. Major themes in this workshop include the following: 1) the nature of information within the material flow domain, 2) status of contemporary databases for engineering and material flow, 3) distributed databases and information integration, 4) artificial intelligence (AI) methodology and models in the material flow domain, 5) digital communications for material flow systems, 6) robotics and material flow control, 7) material handling and storage systems information and control, 8) implementation, organization, and economic research issues as related to the above. Approximately 30 international researchers from academia and industry will participate. This grant is to enable the participation of the U.S. researchers.
