Welcome to IEEE ISAM 2007!
Building upon the decade of success, the IEEE International Symposium on Assembly and Task Planning (ISATP) has evolved to the IEEE International Symposium on Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM). ISAM 2007, formerly known as ISATP 2007, will be held at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA on July 22-25. The symposium aims at providing a forum for researchers and practitioners working on the diverse issues of assembly and manufacturing in various product sizes (nano to macro), production scales (work cell to global supply chain), and product life stages (product design to product retirement). Papers are solicited for all aspects of theories, methodologies, applications, and case studies relates to assembly and manufacturing. Topics of interest include but not limited to:
- Assembly/disassembly/manufacturing planning and automation
- Assembly/disassembly cost estimation
- Assembly/disassembly in product life-cycle engineering and management
- Assembly and manufacturing process planning
- CAD/CAM integration
- Design for manufacturing, (dis)assembly, sustainability, and environment
- Dismantling, sorting, and separation for reuse and recycling
- Fixturing, grasping, and manipulation
- Line balancing and optimization
- Macro, micro, and nano assembly processes and systems
- Modeling, simulation, and design of manufacturing processes and systems
- Monitoring, error detection and recovery
- Motion and contact planning
- Part feeding and reorientation
- Planning and scheduling under uncertainty
- Precision and robotic assembly
- Self-assembly and disassembly
- Task, production, and manufacturing process planning and scheduling
- Tolerance analysis and design
- Virtual assembly, prototyping, and manufacturing
