The scientific Network of Excellence on Advanced Methodologies and Tools of Manufacturing Systems (AMETMAS-NOE) aims to group research teams from both academic and industrial environments with common long term technological goals, and to co-ordinate their research as well as their training policy closely. The ASI conference is an event in its prime and is organised every year, with a view at stimulating contacts of researchers who are active in the area of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIME) and Integration in Manufacturing (IiM) from the EU member countries or from Central and East European countries.
