> IJAMS presents state-of-the-art research and development, product
> development, novel applications, and tools in the areas related to
> advanced manufacturing. The journal emphasises the utilisation of
> Advanced Manufacturing Systems, and includes areas of information
> modelling, distribution, planning and scheduling, and collaborative
> decision-making, as well as the organisation and management of Advanced
> Manufacturing Systems. AMS technologies that result in faster
> productivity and better customer value are emphasised. The Journal is a
> publication of The International Society of Agile Manufacturing. Please
> visit http://www.ucs.louisiana.edu/~snd7483/ISAM2.html to view the
> activities of the Society.
>
> Decision Engineering is an emerging discipline that focuses on developing
> tools and techniques for informed operational decision making within
> industry by utilising distributed organisational knowledge. The emphasis
> is to use techniques such as cost engineering, concurrent engineering,
> micro knowledge management and robust soft computing to support the
> engineering challenges in handling real life industrial problems by
> providing powerful tools that address the 'vagueness' and 'ambiguity' in
> human behaviour.
>
> The special issue will focus on Decision Engineering within the Advanced
> Manufacturing Systems theme, including (but not limited to):
>
> 1. Collaborative Technology for Decision Making
> 2. Knowledge Capture & Reuse
> 3. Knowledge Based Systems/Cased-Based Reasoning
> 4. Data Mining
> 5. Decision Support Systems
> 6. Optimisation Techniques
> 7. Concept Evaluation
> 8. Forecasting for Decision Making
> 9. Cost impact on Decision Making
> 10. Case Studies on successful applications, and Industry Practice
>
> Papers on these or related topics are invited. The Journal seeks research
> papers of approximately 5000 words; well written case studies, conceptual,
> developmental, research, applied research articles are valued. For
> formatting instructions please visit:
