Workshop DEINDE was first introduced in the early nineties as a forum for researchers and practitioners alike to discuss topics related to industrial experimentation. In the course of the past seven editions qualified experts gave presentations covering experimentation on large systems, dimensional scatter control on body in white, process optimization, experiments on mixtures, parameter prediction via simulation, characterization of dedicated software, experimentation in the food and drug industry (DEINDE 2001), Quality Function Deployment and Voice of the Customer (DEINDE 2002).

The eighth workshop will be be held on March 29^th- 31^st, 2005 in Torino and it is targeted at experts and users of Do. The main goal is to provide a "forum" to share ideas, experiences and knowledge. Style will be fairly informal and size shall be limited, to favour discussion. Talks will be presented to highlight peculiarities of the subjects, but the workshop's focus will be the presentation of a broad spectrum of applications in order to generate discussion about the use of such techniques. All users, experienced old hands as well as greenhorns and managers, they are all encouraged to participate.

A non exhaustive list of the subjects may include:

DoE Models and Analysis
Optimal Design
Robust Design
Designing Computer Experiments
Multivariate Response and Multiobjective Optimization
Design for Measurement Quality
DoE Applications in Process Control
Design for Six Sigma
QFD and VoC- Linking Cost and added value to DoE
Metamodels and Emulators
Graphical methods
Cases Studied and Industrial application

Contributions are invited from business, industry, manufacturing, administration, marketing, sales, logistics and service showcasing. Participants from industry and business are welcome to present shop problems and discuss actual solutions.

People interested in presenting a paper at the Workshop are kindly invited to follow the instructions in (Call for Papers).
