[Deadline Extended] [CFP] IEEE SMC 2019 Special Session on Semantic Cyber-Physical Systems for Industry 4.0

CALL FOR PAPERS

SPECIAL SESSION ON

“Semantic Cyber-Physical Systems for Industry 4.0”

IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics SMC’19

http://www.smc2019.org/

October 6-9, 2019 – Bari, Italy

Cyber-Physical Systems are enhancing several industry sectors through a
higher coordination between computational and physical elements.
Nevertheless, challenges remain at multiple levels:

   -

   coping with platform hardware/software heterogeneity and computational
   resource restrictions;
   -

   device communication and interoperability, requiring protocols and
   systems with high autonomy and flexibility in information storage,
   management and discovery;
   -

   real-time event detection and characterization: dynamic context-aware
   data analysis should leverage resources from available nearby devices in an
   opportunistic way and produce human- and machine-understandable event
   annotations;
   -

   high-level frameworks and applications for resource-constrained and/or
   real-time platforms, integrating personal devices (smartphones, tablets,
   wearables) into industrial control networks to put humans in the loop.

Semantic technologies provide a possible solution paradigm, fostering open
knowledge-based architectures exploiting automated reasoning for
information management and decision making.

The goal of the “Semantic Cyber-Physical Systems for Industry 4.0” special
session is to collect the most recent and advanced research on topics such
as the Semantic Web of Things, opportunistic computing and semantic-enabled
systems where devices, agents and people interact, specifically in Industry
4.0 settings. Innovative applications and case studies are also welcome,
including semantic-based approaches for smart manufacturing, supply chain
management, collaboration and co-design to name a few.

TOPICS

- Semantic-based Web of Things architectures for industrial settings

- Semantic-enabled protocols and services for Industry 4.0 applications

- Semantic-based decision support systems for Industry 4.0

- Integration of AI technologies in the Industry 4.0

- Knowledge representation and reasoning in cyber-physical systems

- Intelligent adaptive object interaction for Industrial Internet of Things

- Knowledge discovery in decentralized and collaborative Industry 4.0
platforms

- Machine Learning in resource-constrained systems

- Semantic-enhanced predictive maintenance techniques

- Big Data architectures and solutions for manufacturing scenarios
