CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on Semantic Web of Things for Industry 4.0 (SWeTI 
2018)

In conjunction with 15th ESWC Conference 2018

June 3rd-7th, 2018, Heraklion, Crete Greece

******************************************************

** Aims of the Workshop **
Industry 4.0 refers to the 4th Industrial revolution – the recent trend 
of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. To fully 
realize the Industry 4.0 vision, manufacturers need to unlock several 
capabilities: vertical integration through connected and smart 
manufacturing assets of a factory; horizontal integration through 
connecting discrete operational systems of a factory; end-to-end 
integration through the entire supply chain. In recent technology 
advancements in Web of Things (WoT) and Semantic Web (Jointly referred 
as Semantic Web of Things) have a promising role to play to address 
Industry 4.0 vision. Integration of Semantic Web with WoT 
technologies enables communications among heterogeneous Industrial 
assets. Semantic Web can be also used to represent manufacturing 
knowledge in machine-interpretable way. The semantic modelling 
of industrial assets and their service produces unambiguous and 
machine-interpretable descriptions and creates interoperability among 
assets and their services across domains. This workshop aims to bring 
together the different disciplines related to use of Semantic Web of 
Things for Industry 4.0 and form an international community to 
identify the major challenges and research directions. The workshop is 
intended to make the first step in shaping such community and providing 
a forum that enables:
- Sharing techniques and experience

- Develop better underlying of the foundation principles of building 
Industry 4.0 systems using Semantic Web

- Identifying potential domains and application areas

- Identifying future research directions

-    Case studies and experience reports, reporting a real-world case 
study of Industry 4.0 and use of Semantic Web. Case studies and 
experience reports are limited to 6 pages.
-    Demo papers from academic and industrial environments, ranging from 
early prototype to commercialized products, demonstrating advances to 
the state of the practices. Papers in this category are limited to 4 pages.


** Topics of Interest **

SWeTI 2018 invites submission covering the following topics (but not 
limit itself to):

- Industry 4.0 implementation and real-world case studies
- Challenges, vision, and concepts for Industry 4.0 and Semantic Web
- Semantic frameworks & architectures for interoperability among 
Industry 4.0 platforms
- Semantic data models for sensor data representation and integration 
for Smart factory domains

applications
- Semantic techniques using edge & fog computing for Manufacturing scenarios
- Linked Data-based Intelligent Applications for Manufacturing Industries
- Case studies and experience reports on existing open standards (RAMI, 
OPC-UA) for Industry 4.0 use cases
- Semantic frameworks for developing Industry 4.0 applications
- Real-time IoT data analytics, data aggregation, data abstraction and 
event detection
- Use of Semantic Web in Emerging Industry 4.0 scenarios such as supply 
chain, predictive maintenance, asset tracking, logistics



** Important Dates **

Paper submissions: Friday March 2, 2018
Notifications to authors: Friday 
March 30, 2018
Camera-ready copies: Friday April 13, 2018
Workshop: June 
3rd and 4th, 2018


** Submission **

Paper review process will be single-blind (no need to anonymize the 
papers).  Every submission will be reviewed by at least two independent 
referees. The emphasis will be given more on usefulness and originality. 
If accepted, the paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the 
authors. All submissions should be formatted according to the style of 
the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science 
(LNCS).
Accepted papers will be published in online workshop proceedings (e.g., 
CEUR). Organizers will arrange an invited submission for one selected 
best paper from workshop proceedings to a special edition of a relevant 
journal.
Please submit your contributions electronically in PDF format
