You are invited to attend the Fourth Annual International Workshop on the Internationalisation of Products and Systems (IWIPS2002) at Austin, Texas, USA. Plan now to come in July 2002 to network with colleagues on globalisation and localisation in industry, government and academia. The IWIPS workshop series aims to promote awareness of the problems facing international industry, and their implications for research and development. In addition to the presentation of papers and case studies, as well as the availability of tutorials, the workshop provides a venue for meetings, discussion of results and cooperation at an international level. The Workshop is organized to maximize the exchange of information and ideas among a delegation from across the globe.
