------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Contribution submissions Current wireless sensing networks are widely
used in a range of applications, such as agriculture, healthcare, and
smart cities. The evolution of new physical and virtual wireless
networks brings new challenges with the emergence of Cyber Physical
Systems (CPS) and Cyber Human Systems (CHS), especially in the context
of the industry 4.0 leverage, including environmental, power and motion
monitoring. Such solutions generate massive amounts of data through the
sensing provided by the various systems, which need to be transmitted
over the networks, many of which support real-time decisions under dense
environments. In this context, these systems need to be reliable and
provide security and privacy in their services.

should be preferably referred to in the third person; if this is not
feasible, the references should be blinded. Submissions that violate
these requirements will be rejected without review. The list of authors
cannot be changed after the acceptance decision is made unless approved
by the Program Chairs.
***Normal submissions: Authors are also welcome to submit papers to the
normal submission round by the given deadline. After the normal
submission deadline will
undergo a traditional review process. The decisions made from this
normal review procedure will be final and no resubmission will be
permitted afterwards.
It should be noted that unformatted papers and papers beyond the page
limit may not be reviewed.

--- Focus Area-2: Blockchain Technologies
A blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger that records and
stores transactions among a number of interacting parties in a network.
Each transaction must be validated via a consensus mechanism executed by
the network participants before being permanently added as a new “block”
at the end of the “chain.” Disruptive technologies such as blockchain,
AI, services, and cloud enable companies and administrations to provide
decentralized, trusted, transparent and user-centric digital services
while enhancing user/consumer experience. These technologies have the
ability to transform the way we use the internet and digital services
globally.
Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:
* Blockchain in digital services
* Block chain and smart business transactions
* Block chain and smart contracts
* Blockchain in the Internet of things (IoT)
* Blockchain in cyber physical systems
* Blockchain in edge and cloud computing
* Disintermediation and collaboration mechanisms in block chains
* Peer-to-peer networks
* Block chain platforms
* Blockchain in supply chain management
* Trust and security services in block chains
* Cutting edge cipher algorithms
--- Focus Area-3: Industry 4.0 Technologies
Industry 4.0 (or smart manufacturing) sets the foundations for
completely connected factories that are characterized by the
digitization and interconnection of supply chains, production equipment
and production lines, and the application of the latest advanced digital
information technologies to manufacturing activities. The manufacturing
paradigm championed by the Industry 4.0 brings together processes,
software services and systems, machines, devices, IoT, sensors, valves,
actuators, manufacturing systems, and connected digital factories. All
these computer-driven systems create a virtual copy of the physical
world and help make decentralized decisions with a much higher degree of
accuracy.
Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:
* Digital twins and digital threads
* Digital product management
* Digital manufacturing
* Digital transformation
* Digital reality
* Embedded systems
* Internet of Things in Industry 4.0
* 3D printing/additive manufacturing techniques
* Machine-To-Machine communication for smart manufacturing
* Smarter analytics
* Manufacturing Intelligence
* Smart factories
* Smart asset management
* Smart Cyber-Security in Industry 4.0
* Blockchain in Industry 4.0
--- Focus Area-4: Smart services, Smart data and Smart applications
Smart data systems and services support the processing and integration
of data and services into a meaningful unified view to enable more
effective decision making and problem solving. The decisive criterion
here is not necessarily the amount of data or services available, but
smart content techniques that promote not only the collection and
accumulation of related data and services, but also its context, and
understanding. This requires finding useful insights and discovering
patterns and trends within the data and services to reveal a wider
picture that is more relevant to the problem in hand and react to them.
Smart applications are context aware, intelligent and autonomous
industrial strength applications that incorporate data-driven,
actionable contextual insights into the user experience to enable users
to more efficiently complete a desired task usually taking the form of
recommendations, estimates, and suggested next course of actions in context.
Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:
* Smart Big Data
* Predictive Modelling
* Visualization & Augmented Reality
* Smarter Analytics
* Machine Learning
* Multidimensional Data
* Sensor Networks
* Smart cities
* Smart applications for the construction industry
* Smart transportation systems
* Smart logistics & distribution
* Smart agriculture and food chains
* Smart government
* Smart sensors & IoT for large scale industrial applications
* Traceability and Tracking
* Detection of data and key performance metrics to improve
application efficiency
* Conceptual structures and knowledge architectures for smart
applications
* Agile & DevOps methodologies for smart applications
