Regular sessions

Authors are invited to submit draft papers reporting original research of theoretical or applied nature. Final manuscripts are limited to 6 pages.

Invited sessions

Invited sessions consist of papers focusing on targeted subjects and presenting a unifying theme. Invited session organizers should submit an abstract that summarizes the aim and the content of the invited session. If at least 5 papers are accepted, the session is included in the workshop program as an invited session, otherwise, the papers will be included in regular sessions.

Special sessions

Special sessions offer a venue for the presentation of topics of special academic, social or industrial interest, such as emerging research areas or the most recent trends in manufacturing engineering. The format of special sessions is more flexible; it allows a panel discussion, led by the session chair(s),to fosterthe exchange of opinions among presenters and participants.
