Readers here may be interested in a newly formed newsgroup, alt.industrial.
This group was originated by representatives of the Industrial Computing
Society for the purpose of discussing such issues as:

* CIM, factory automation, PLC application, industrial networking
* Sociological implications of automation, acceptance of CIM
* Conferences and news relating to industrial automation and industrial policy

Alt.industrial was started only two weeks ago, and already has seen some very
engaging debates on a number of the above topics.  Those not receiving alt
groups may obtain archives of alt.industrial by anonymous ftp to control.com
(cd /pub/ics/alt.industrial).
