[Apologies for Multiple Copies] [Please Distribute This Information to Colleagues] FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WFCS'2000 HANDS-ON DAY September 5, 2000 ISEP-IPP, Porto, Portugal WFCS'2000, September 5-8, 2000 http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/wfcs2000 The WFCS series of workshops has established itself as the most prominent IEEE technical event dedicated to factory communication systems. WFCS'2000 features an excellent technical program, which includes plenary presentations delivered by leading authority from the industry and academia. For the first time in the workshop history, WFCS'2000 will feature a "hands-on" day. This day features special industry presentations on the actual application of emerging technologies in factory communication systems and industrial automation, and "hands-on" demonstrations involving industrial equipment. We trust this arrangement will provide an opportunity for more intimate interaction between the industry and academia. It should also serves as an opportunity for researchers from the academia to learn about new and relevant problems and challenges emerging from actual industrial applications. ============================= WFCS'2000 Hands-On Day Program ============================= 08:45-09:00 "Welcome Address" R.
