These systems allow intelligent products, processes, and services to communicate with each other and with people in real time over a global network. This challenges the way we educate engineers and the way we manage companies.

The 4th Global Conference on Engineering and Technology Management (GCETM) will be an internationally renowned forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in the field of industrial engineering. It will bring together experts from academia and industry to exchange the latest research results and trends, and their practical applications in the aforementioned areas of industrial engineering. This will be accomplished through the following three modes of communication: keynote presentations, parallel sessions, and poster sessions.
