Fwd: [AISWorld] CRC Press/Routledge (T&F): Call for Book Chapters
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Aug '20

29 Aug '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CRC Press/Routledge (T&F): Call for Book Chapters Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2020 07:12:32 +0000 From: #KULKARNI ANAND JAYANT# <KULK0003(a)e.ntu.edu.sg> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Metaheuristic Algorithms in Industry 4.0 Aim and Scope Optimization is widely used in all disciplines for various industrial applications including product design, static/transient analyses, plant layout, supply chain, inventory planning, production planning/scheduling, automation, robotics, building architecture, material handling, tooling, assembly line balancing, system modeling/identification, tuning of various controllers, machine learning and many more. Due to increasing industry 4.0 practices, massive industrial process data is now available for researchers for modeling and optimization. Artificial intelligence methods can be applied to the ever-increasing process data to achieve robust control against foreseen / unforeseen system fluctuations. Smart computing techniques, machine learning, deep learning and computer vision will be inseparable from the highly automated factories of tomorrow. Effective cybersecurity will be a must for all internet of things (IoT) enabled work and office spaces. Optimization promises to play a pivotal role in this interplay of physical machines, control systems and artificial intelligence. However, the traditional optimization methodologies are inept at handling complexities of big data analytics and new age dynamic systems. Metaheuristics are nature inspired answers to such 21st century world problems. Metaheuristics are typically socio inspired, bio inspired or physics derived algorithms based on simple principles that have proven effective in varied domains. With respect to advanced control systems, metaheuristics can be applied for selection of controllers as per different applications such as auto tuning of systems. Effective industry 4.0 implementation will include integration of cyber physical systems, control systems, IoT, smart computing, novel sensor applications, collaborative robotics, intelligent fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance for smart factories of tomorrow. We invite original chapter contributions (industrial case studies will be preferred) associated with metaheuristics in industry 4.0 as per the following list (not limited to) - 1. Introduction to Metaheuristics 2. Introduction to Industry 4.0 3. Survey on Metaheuristics in Control Systems 4. Survey on Metaheuristic Applications in Sensor Networks 5. Real Time System Identification and Advanced Controllers for Industry 4.0 - case studies involving metaheuristics 6. Wireless Sensor Networks and Metaheuristics in Industry 4.0 7. Survey on Cyber Physical Systems and Smart Computing 8. Cyber Physical Systems and Metaheuristics in Industry 4.0 9.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JSD - CFP special issue on Decision-Making Frameworks and Methods for Crisis Management in a Global Pandemic Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2020 20:05:05 +0000 From: Jose Manuel Mora Tavarez <jose.mora(a)edu.uaa.mx> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Gloria Wren <gwren(a)loyola.edu>, Fen Wang <Fen.Wang(a)cwu.edu>, jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de <jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de> Journal of Decision Systems Special Issue on Decision-Making Frameworks and Methods for Crisis Management in a Global Pandemic https://www.journalconferencejob.com/decision-making-frameworks-pandemic SUBMISSION DUE DATE: October 31, 2020 CONTEXT AND RELEVANCE Global pandemics can be considered infrequent events (Lepan, 2020). In the 1900-2020 time period, there were nine pandemics including the Spanish Flu (1918-1919), HIV/AIDS (1981 - present), MERS (2015 - present) and now COVID-19 (2020). These pandemics have had significant impacts on global health, and some of them, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, have drastically modified all human dimensions - health, economic, educational, social, and recreational (Walker et al., 2020; IMF, 2020; Burgess & Sievertsen; Nicola et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2020; Gössling et al., 2020). Thus, the pressing global COVID-19 pandemic calls for scientific efforts to cope with its consequential negative effects on human health and activities. One way to mitigate some of these impacts is to develop and employ decision systems and analytics to provide data and analysis to support decision making. Descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics (Delen & Ram, 2018) together with advanced decision-making processes can provide effective, efficient, and ethical decisional support to core stakeholders and decision makers (Araz, 2013; Mora et al., 2014; Moberg et al., 2018; Rehfuess et al., 2019; Currie et al., 2020; Shearer et al., 2020; Squazzoni et al., 2020). Consequently, the COVID-19 crisis has revealed that new and updated decisional concepts, frameworks, methods and technologies (Hevner et al., 2004; Arnott & Pervan, 2014) are required to assist decision makers and policymakers in the context of a global pandemic crisis (Ionnadis, 2020; Currie et al., 2020). OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE The objective of this special issue is to advance decision support methods and decision-making processes to efficiently, effectively, and ethically manage critical decisions on core human dimensions (health, economic, educational, social, and recreational) impacted by global pandemics such as COVID-19. High-quality conceptual and empirical research papers are invited from the international interdisciplinary scientific community interested in helping to devise potential solutions from a decision-making perspective. RECOMMENDED TOPICS Consistently with the overall aim of the Journal of Decision Systems, the following topics are welcome in this special issue (but are not limited to): * Theoretical aspects of decision making in a crisis * Methods and applications of decision support in a crisis * Machine learning to support decision making in a crisis * Case studies of decision support in a crisis * Decision systems with descriptive analytics (visualization, dashboards, reporting, spatial systems) * Decision systems with predictive analytics (data mining, text/web mining, machine learning, soft systems) * Decision systems with prescriptive analytics (DSS, MADM, MCDM, KBS, KMS, networking science, optimization, simulation) * Collaborative decision-making frameworks, methods, and processes * Distributed decision-making frameworks, methods, and processes * Ethical decision-making frameworks, methods, and processes * Post-pandemic era implications for business decision makers * Post-pandemic era implications for policy makers IMPORTANT DATES First submission deadline – October 31, 2020 First editorial decision deadline – December 15, 2020 Second version submission deadline (conditioned papers) - January 31, 2021 Definitive editorial decision deadline – February 28, 2021 Camera-ready paper submission deadline – March 15, 2021 IMPORTANT NOTES Information on the Journal of Decision Systems<https://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=aimsScope&journa…> Information about submission guidelines<https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journ…> GUEST EDITORS Prof. Gloria Phillips-Wren, Loyola University Maryland, USA, gwren(a)loyola.edu Prof. Manuel Mora, Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, Mexico, jose.mora(a)edu.uaa.mx Prof. Fen Wang, Central Washington University, USA, fen.wang(a)cwu.edu Prof. Jorge Marx Gomez, University of Oldenburg, Germany, jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de REFERENCES Araz, O.
