Dear Colleagues:

The Manufacturing and Design Division of the Institute of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Manufacturing and Design Track at the 2018 IISE Annual Conference and Expo. The conference is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner communities. The 2018 IISE Annual Conference and Expo integrates research and industry under one conference.

As track chairs of the Manufacturing and Design Track, we would like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by submitting an abstract. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in a session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and have four presenters. Each speaker will have 20 minutes for his or her presentation (if the speaker needs additional time, two abstracts with the same speaker name can be submitted to allow the speaker 40 minutes). The track is also seeking abstracts for tutorials (80-minute discussions of background and state of the art on a particular topic) and panels (a set of experts discussing current and future challenges in a field). Abstracts are welcome for the Manufacturing and Design Track in the following areas:

Materials Processing and Manufacturing
Manufacturing Machines and Equipment
Design for Manufacturing
Lean Manufacturing Systems
Engineering Materials and Mechanics
Additive Manufacturing
Mobile Manufacturing & Software Applications
Product and/or Process Design & Planning
Decision and/or Cost Models for ManufacturingMicro/Nanoscale Manufacturing
Biomedical Manufacturing
Energy Manufacturing
Green Manufacturing and Sustainability
Digital Modeling and Manufacturing
Advanced Automation & Robotics
Applications for the Manufacturing Industry
Manufacturing Education
In addition to the traditional abstract and presentation, two other options are available for presenting your work: an extended abstract and a full paper.

- Extended Abstract. A new feature at this year's conference, the extended abstract is intended as a mechanism to explain the author's' work in more detail than the standard conference abstract allows. An extended abstract can include problem descriptions, technical details, and a brief analysis of the conclusions reached in the study or the impact of the engineering work to be discussed at the conference. Extended abstracts will be limited to three pages and will be judged based on correctness (e.g., accuracy of the statements made, relationships to other problems in the field), professionalism (e.g., quality of grammar and figures, adherence to formal writing standards), and content (e.g., sufficiency of information convey beyond the standard conference abstract). Extended abstracts must contain citations where appropriate, and may not plagiarize (or self-plagiarize) other work in the literature. Authors will be able to claim these works as refereed extended abstracts, which will be publicly viewable. They will not be copyrighted or indexed in the official conference proceedings, and therefore there is no limitation on reusing extended abstract material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings).

- Full Paper. Like previous years, full papers should contain results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner community. Full papers have a six-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process with more rigor relative to the extended abstract. Accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the conference proceedings. Authors of rejected papers will be given the opportunity to resubmit their work as an extended abstract.

The important deadlines for the conference are (NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSIONS)
* Abstract Submission Deadline:                         November 7, 2017
* Notification of Decision on Abstract:                                 November 28, 2017
* Submission of Full Papers (optional but encouraged):          January 16, 2018
* Notification of Decision on Paper:                            February 20, 2018
* Final Version of Full Paper Due:                              March 6, 2018
* Presenting Author Registration Deadline:                      March 13, 2018
* Schedule Published                                            April 3, 2018
* 2018 IISE Annual Conference and Expo                  May 19-22, 2018

If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) the presenting author for the paper must register for the conference by March 13, 2018 (presentations/papers without the presenting author registered for the conference will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) the presenting author must attend and present the paper at the conference (presenting authors who fail to attend will have their paper withdrawn from the proceedings); and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for fellow authors and follow review deadlines - all authors who submit a paper are expected to review two papers.

There are also opportunities to organize invited sessions or panels. In addition to research and practitioner presentations, the annual conference offers many opportunities for attendees, including plant tours, networking, and keynote speakers.

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

Regards,
Harry Pierson, Guha Manogharan, & Linkan Bian
Manufacturing and Design Track Chairs
