Abstract
This workshop, A National Forum on the Future of Automated Materials Processing in U.S. Industry--The Roles of Process Models, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Integration, was the second of two workshops sponsored by the Industrial Research Institute and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Committee on Materials, Working Group on Automation of Materials Processing. The first workshop, held in December, 1985 was devoted to the role of process sensors. Together, the workshops addressed several technologies which can play important roles in improving the competitiveness of U.S process industries through automation.
