The 7th edition of the CIRP ICME Conference will examine the applications of innovative and cognitive production technologies and systems and related methodologies including expert systems, fuzzy logic, neural networks, multi agents, etc., as well as hybrid systems combining one or more of these techniques as applied to manufacturing engineering problems.

The main scope of the Conference is to provide an international forum for the exchange of the knowledge, information, experience and results as well as the review of progress and discussion on the state-of-the-art and future trends in intelligent computation methods and tools applied to manufacturing processes and systems. Special sessions will be organised with reference to running joint research projects on topics of interest for the Conference (e.g. EC FP7 CP on “ACCENT”).
