Extract

This Special Issue was motivated in part by the success of the 2001 American Association for Artificial Intelligence's Special Interest Group on Manufacturing (SIGMAN) workshop. SIGMAN has organized a series of these workshops that highlight significant advances in academic research and industrial practice. New manufacturing concepts such as agile/lean manufacturing and virtual manufacturing place increasing emphasis on the need for more intelligent manufacturing systems. It is no longer a question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) technologies will have an impact on manufacturing but one of better understanding and exploiting the broad potential of AI in this domain.
