Conference of Uncertainty in Engineering Design, Washington D.C., May 10-11, 1988

乔治华盛顿大学（George Washington University）将通过其可靠性和风险分析研究所（Institute of Reliability and Risk Analysis）与美国国家标准局（National Bureau of Standards）合作，举办“工程设计不确定性会议”。会议的目的是为统计学家和工程师提供一个讨论现代统计方法及其在产品工程和工艺设计中的应用的机会。讨论将集中在五个主要的主题领域，这在今天的工程和统计界是最重要的。它们是：1)通过制造中的设计实现质量，2)通过化学过程的设计实现质量，3)柔性自动化设计中的统计，4)设计优化中的不确定性，以及5)集成电路设计和制造中的统计问题。会议将激发技术社区成员之间的重要互动，以提高美国制造商的产品质量和工业竞争力。

The George Washington University, through its Institute of Reliability and Risk Analysis, will collaborate with the National Bureau of Standards and conduct a "Conference on Uncertainty in Engineering Design". The aim of the conference is to provide an opportunity for statisticians and engineers to discuss modern statistical methods and their application to product engineering and process design. The discussions will concentrate on five major topical areas which are of prime importance today in the engineering and statistics communities. These are: 1) achieving quality through design in manufacturing, 2) achieving quality through design for chemical processes, 3) statistics in design for flexible automation, 4) uncertainties in design optimization, and 5) statistical issues in integrated circuit design and fabrication. The conference will motivate important interactions among members of the technical community concerned with improving product quality and industrial competitiveness of American manufacturers.
