Proceedings of the 34th International MATADOR Conference

The changing nature of manufacturing with increased automation and the continuing integration of intelligent systems, together with cut-throat competition on economic grounds means that every advance possible will be in demand from industry itself and from academic institutions doing research in the are and funded by industry.
