北约资助的一个高级研究讲习班强调， 物流信息技术的研究与应用 在生产环境中的控制。 目前的世界地位 将对这一主题进行审查，并制定必要的研究议程， 建立。 工作坊的主要主题包括 以下几点：1）物流内部信息的性质 2）当代工程数据库的现状， 3）分布式数据库与信息集成， 4)人工智能（AI）方法和模型， 物流领域，5）物流数字通信 系统，6）机器人和物料流控制，7）物料搬运 以及存储系统信息和控制，8）实施， 组织，以及与上述有关的经济研究问题。 约30名来自学术界和 行业将参与。 这项拨款是为了 美国研究人员的参与。

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.
