4. Chair and Vice-chair(s) 2011-2014
Chair: Alexandre Dolgui (France)
Vice-chair(s): needed ! Please make suggestions, thanks
IFAC requirements: “a vice-chair is able to manage TC in the unlikely event the chair should be unable to do so.”
Thus, two or three vice-chairs, my suggestions:
- Active members of TC
- Represent different regions of the World
One vice-chair from industry, if possible …

6. TC scope and topics
Update existing scope of TC5.2 taking into account the scopes of the others TCs of CC 5 (in cooperation with the chairs of these TCs ):
TC 5.1: Real-time control, intelligent (holonic) manufacturing systems, intelligent maintenance systems, …
TC 5.3: Entreprise modelling, interoperability, networking…
TC 5.4: Large scale systems
In defining our scope, we should consider the above and differentiate TC 5.2 from them.
The scope of TC5.2 should be focused on logistics, flow control, planning and scheduling, collaborative supply networks, etc.
Could you help me in the endeavor?

7. Working groups
Now we have only one working group (WG): Supply network engineering, resp. A. Dolgui (will be possibly replaced with J.C. Hennet and Dmitry Ivanov ? These two candidates are exceptional and I am sure will do a better job than even I did)
Objective:
Create two additional working groups (taking into account revised version of the TC scope and topics)
Do you have some ideas ? Suggestions wanted.
WG: special sessions, special issues of journals, books, …

8. TC events
Our conference (workshop ?): MIM, last edition was in Budapest in 2007 (organized by Prof. Laszlo Monostori). We need launch the organization of the next MIM as soon as possible (constraints: INCOM 2012, WC 2014, so MIM can be organized in 2013). We have the candidature of St Petersburg (Russia), this seems to be an excellent possibility, especially given the time constraints
TC 5.2 is a co-sponsor of the IFAC symposium INCOM 2012 in Bucharest
(INCOM is a joint event of all TCs of CC5), please participate actively!!!
Next our TC meeting will be organized during INCOM 2012 in Bucharest, A Track and several sessions of INCOM 2012 are supported by our TC
perhaps we can co-organize with TC5.1 (help TC 5.1) the workshop on assembly and disassembly (considering not only technological aspects but also logistics, planning and scheduling ?)
