PURPOSE OF THE CONGRESS
Manufacturing for the Millennium The emphasis of this congress is on
bringing researchers and industry closer together and endeavor to
highlight
the importance of both theoretical and applied research in the light of
new
shifts in the global economy. The continuous exchange of scientific and
technical information is of particular importance in a time of worldwide
challenges in the manufacturing industry. The impact of other rapidly
changing industries such as microelectronics, automation,
computer/information engineering and environmental protection is
evolving
new philosophies in manufacturing. The congress, to be held every second
year, is meant to be a forum for academia and industry for research and
the
transfer of research to practice. The previous congress held in New
Zealand
(WMC'97) attracted participants from 35 countries around the world.
