Chairman European Region of ISA International, Breda, The Netherlands; Piergiuseppe Zani, International Products Aero s.a.s., Chairman ISA International, Milan, Italy; Ray Dessy, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA, U.S.A.; Bob McDowall, Wellcome Research Laboratories, Beckenham, U.K.; Paul Levi, Janssen Pharmaceutics, Leuven, Belgium The conference sessions are: - Computer Graphics. Including the analysis and synthesis of images, especially for the display of scientific information. - Industrial and Laboratory Data Liiks. Different aspects of communication in an industrial environment are addressed: Local Area Networks (LAN’s), Field buses, Telemetry, MAP (Manufacturing Au~mation Control) and TOP (Technical and Office Protocol)... examination of both standapplication and ardisation. - Integration for Better Management of Production Systems and Quality Control Laboratories. Includes the many new methods for advanced control strategies, optimisation and management of production systems or laboratories; quality control, statistical process control, adaptive control, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Advanced Manufacturing Systems... - LIM Systems for Effective Management. Laboratory Portability of Laboratory Information Management Systems. Validation of LIMS. Ergonomics of the user interface. Trends in platforms and architecture.
- Optimal Use of Experiments. Including the new methods used to design and interpret the results of experimental projects. - Smart Sensors and Actuators. Technology of smart devices. Implementation of intelligent functions on sensors and actuators. The impact on quality and productivity.

tternational Meeting 01 n Distance Analysis (C )~STA~C~A ‘92) In
5th international Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy Haugesond, Norway, 16-20 June 1992 Focusing on the interface between NIR theory and practical applications, NIR-92 will bring together people with different professional backgrounds in order to bridge the gap between data analysis and NIR applications. Topics covered will include: - Calibration methods; - Spectral interpretations; - Instrumentation and software; - Applications The conference programme will include plenary lectures, oral and poster presentations and discussions, workshops and exhibitions of NIR ~strumen~tion and software. The invited speakers in-
Rennes, France, 22-26 June 1992 PSkpers are welcomed on the folwing topics: 101 - Theoretical aspects: study of the mathematical structures induced by dissimilarities, their geometric properties, their representation, and their approximation, including embedding problems and the linear algebra of distance matrices Meth~ologi~l aspects: study of the behaviour of opt~ization methods and algorithms for dimension reduction and distance fitting, their stability and their robustness properties, efficiency, and their validation, including choice of model and comparison of methods Areas of application: special interest extends to areas of appli-
