Call for Papers - 7th International Conference on Manufacturing Research
(ICMR'2009), September 08 - 10, 2009, University of Warwick, Coventry,
United Kingdom.

 


Sponsored by the 


UK Consortium of Manufacturing Engineering Heads (COMEH), 


UK Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), 


The International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP)


 

 For over two decades the Conference has been the main manufacturing
research conference organized within the UK, successfully bringing
researchers, academics and industrialists together to share their
knowledge and experiences. The conference is organized by the Consortium
of UK Manufacturing Engineering Heads (COMEH).  COMEH is an independent
body established in 1978. Its main aim is to promote manufacturing
engineering education, training and research.  To achieve this, the
Consortium maintains a close liaison with government bodies concerned
with the training and continuing development of professional engineers,
while responding to appropriate consultative and discussion documents
and other initiatives.  COMEH is represented on the Engineering
Professor's Council (EPC) and it organizes and supports national
manufacturing engineering education research conferences and symposia. 

 

The conference topics are grouped in the following main themes:

 

Digital Technologies (Virtual Engineering and Manufacturing Simulations,
Enterprise Integration and Virtual Enterprises, Factory Planning and
Control, Product Life-cycle Management, Rapid Product Development and
Manufacture, CAD/CAM/CAE/CAPP/ERP, E-design, E-Manufacture and
E-business)

 

Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (Manufacturing Systems, Intelligent
Design and Manufacture, Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology, Rapid
Product Development and Manufacture, Assembly Processes, Design
Optimisation, Healthcare applications)

 

Enterprise Management (Lean and Agile Manufacturing, Product Lifecycle
Management, Enterprise Design and Knowledge Management, Innovation
Management, Performance Measurement and Benchmarking; Service Science
and Engineering)

 

Advanced Materials and Processes (Sustainable Materials, Materials
Modelling, Surface Treatment, and Advanced Materials and Processes)

 

Manufacturing Education

 

The selected papers will be considered for publication in Special issues
of the following journals:

- Proceedings of I MECH E Part B, Journal of Engineering Manufacture 

- Journal of Manufacturing Systems

- International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology

- Journal of Manufacturing Technology Research.

 

The papers submitted to the IMRC'2009 will compete for the Best Paper
Award.  Additionally, papers where a student is a primary author are
eligible to compete for the Best Student paper Award.  

 

Please note that the deadline for the submission of papers is March 31,
2009 (on-line).

 

Anyone interested in conducting a workshop, tutorial or special session
during the conference, please contact conference chair, Darek Ceglarek

More detailed information about the scope and contents of the conference
are posted at http://go.warwick.ac.uk/icmr09 .

 

We plan to organize Industrial tours (Jaguar and Land Rover), Special
Sessions featuring international funding bodies promoting global
research and education collaboration, major European and international
Initiatives (ManuFUTURE, IMS and others).  We will also organize Best
Paper competition; and Best Student Paper Competition.  

 

The IMRC'2009 Conference is organized in the Heartland of England
(William Shakespeare's birthplace; place where the first steam engine
was developed by Boulton and Watt; the world's first cast iron bridge
was built; birthplace of the British cycle and motor industry; Warwick
castle - the largest medieval castle in UK; birthplace of Rugby game;
and Bull Ring - one of the largest and busiest shopping centers in the
United Kingdom and many other attractions).

 

We look forward to your contributions to the ICMR'09.

 

Yours sincerely,
