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
