<P>This is a major event in the area of emerging information technologies and automation in manufacturing and services to be held in Porto, Portugal.Responsiveness, agility and high performance of manufacturing systems are driving the recent paradigm shifts and call for new approaches to achieve cost–effective responsiveness at all levels of the enterprise. In this context, creating apropriate frameworks for exploring the best synergies between human potential and automated systems represents an enormous challenge in terms of processes characterization, modelling, and development of adequate support tools.The implementation and use of Automation Systems demands an ever increasing knowledge about enabling technologies and Business Practices. Moreover, the digital and networked world will for sure trigger new business practices. <BR>The focus of the BASYS′08 conference is to discuss the rapidly evolving field of integration of human actors and emergent technologies and multi–disciplinary approaches towards business ecosystems where a myriad of networked technologies and devices, full interacting with human beings, will be generating, consuming and relaying data and knowledge in the context of a pervasive digital environment.</P> <P><B>Keywords:</B> </P> <P><SPAN class=txt_fundo_cor_bold>TRACK A – Co–Innovation networks in industry</SPAN> </P> <UL style=″MARGIN–BOTTOM: 0px″> <LI>Innovation processes in collaborative networks. <LI>Role of humans and automation in creation and support of extended products. <LI>Involvement of customers in the co–creation processes. <LI>Tools for cost–effective and rapid creation, management and use of complex knowledge–based product–services. <LI>Approaches and tools for collaborative design in temporary partnerships. <LI>New business and management processes in enterprise collaborative networks. <LI>Social networking, collective intelligence and creativity. </LI></UL><BR><SPAN class=txt_fundo_cor_bold>TRACK B – Intelligent machine and sensor networks</SPAN> <UL style=″MARGIN–BOTTOM: 0px″> <LI>Self–adaptation – dynamic response to changes: Self–organization; Self–optimization; Self–configuration; Self–control; <BR>Learning; Self–healing. <LI>Intelligent sensor networks and supervision systems. <LI>Integration of affordable intelligent technologies and process control. <LI>″Adaptronic″ modules and interfaces and their integration in intelligent manufacturing systems. <LI>Balanced integration of human and machine–based decision making. </LI></UL> <P style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0px″><BR><SPAN class=txt_fundo_cor_bold>TRACK C – Industry ecosystems: Beyond Lean manufacturing</SPAN></P> <UL style=″MARGIN–BOTTOM: 0px″> <LI>New organizational models. <LI>Change management. <LI>Disperse and grid manufacturing. <LI>Resource efficient, sustainable production systems. <LI>Challenges in lean management; leanness and agility. <LI>Human resources and technological factors. <LI>Extended value chains and cash flow modelling. <LI>Performance management. </LI></UL> <P style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0px″><BR><SPAN class=txt_fundo_cor_bold>TRACK D – Pervasive Digital Factory</SPAN></P> <UL> <LI>Ubiquitous and mobile computing supporting new ways of working. <LI>Product and Process life–cycle integration and optimization. <LI>Enabling technologies; ICT for manufacturing design, simulation, and assessment. <LI>Virtual labs and remote operation. <LI>Simulation and virtual reality in advanced manufacturing. <LI>Affective computing (emotions–based computing) in manufacturing. <LI>Digital factory tools for the involvement of customers in product co–design. </LI></UL>
