The 8th International Workshop on Autonomous Remanufacturing (IWAR) aims to bring together the leading innovators in autonomous remanufacturing in an effort to strengthen the body of knowledge on design, modelling and control of remanufacturing processes and
systems. IWAR 2024 will build upon the success of previous IWARs to provide an exciting forum to present, discuss, and debate technological advances in remanufacturing! IWAR encourages submissions from a variety of remanufacturing related research topics,
such as supply chain management, disassembly, materials processing, etc.</div>
