Review from Book News Inc.: Manufacturing and design are subject to continuous innovation and have become truly international endeavors. These 6 volumes arise from a large conference held in Taiwan-Taichung in December 2011 and contain nearly 950 papers selected from 2200 submissions. Although billed as an international conference, nearly all of the papers are from scholars at Chinese universities. The pieces appear to offer the latest research and benefit from regular figures, tables and equations.
