13th Annual NSF Grantees Conference on Production Research and Technology, Gainesville, Florida, November 18-21, 1986

佛罗里达大学将主办第十三届生产研究与技术会议。这是由美国国家科学基金会生产研究计划（现为制造系统计划）主办的一系列年度会议之一。这些会议有几个目的：它们允许对项目支持的研究进行评估；他们协助项目规划；他们将研究成果传播给研究界的其他研究者，以及工业界的潜在用户。它们还为想要进入该项目的研究人员提供机会，以了解该项目支持哪些研究。

The University of Florida will host the Thirteenth Conference on Production Research and Technology. This is one of a series of annual conferences which have been sponsored by the Production Research Program (now the Manufacturing Systems Program) of the National Science Foundation. The conferences serve several purposes: they permit assessment of the research supported by the program; they aid in program planning; and they disseminate research results to other investigators in the research community, and to potential users in industry. They also provide opportunities for investigators who want to enter the program to find out what kind of research it supports.
