Abstract
Manufacturing has become one of the most challenging domains to drive both fundamental and applied research in Artificial Intelligence, and it is of far greater economic significance than any other domain. Combining recent advances in representation theory, distributed problem solving, and distributed system architectures, this paper describes an approach to Computational Manufacturing as the new field that describes manufacturing as computation in symbolic models.
