Dear Colleagues,

It is the first day of the IPROMS 2006. As a co-chair of the CONCURRENT ENGINEERING session, I would like to welcome you to this session.

For authors, please actively post questions and answers to the questions from the members of the section as well as other participants of IPROMS 2006.

This is a virtual conference. However, we could make it real and effective presentations and discussions as the normal ones. Please do not hesitate to present your views about the research papers, contribute your ideas, and share the know-how of your current research to the colleagues.

We all believe that, after the success of IPROMS 2005, IPROMS 2006 will continue to create an opened forum for the research communities in the world to present and share their research results as well as ideas about today research areas quickly, effectively, and optimally in term of time and cost.

Now let’s join the CONCURRENT ENGINEERING SESSION, and make this conference without borders successful!

Thank you very much,

Le
