Scope:

With the development of wireless communication technologies, e.g., wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, large scale industrial plants are slowly adapting to these new advantages. Traditional industrial fieldbus can be replaced by wireless networks, which give more flexibility with lower cost and risk of single point of failure. Thousands of industrial equipment can also be monitored by using wireless sensors to detect their health status and even diagnose the type/location of fault based on extracted features. We see a huge potential of applying wireless technologies and artificial intelligence to make existing large scale industrial plants smarter. In recent years, industrial IoT (IIoT) have drawn significant interest in industrial environments. It allows a tight and seamless integration between lower layer components, such as sensors and actuators, to the higher level connected with the cloud platform. Therefore, there is a huge amount of effort to realize this futuristic computing vision. Thus, in this symposium, we are interested in exploring recent emerging technologies and research developments on industrial networks and intelligent systems to advance to have smarter plants that will be easier to develop, function, diagnose and contribute to better living standards.

Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this symposium. Topics include, but are not limited to:


• State-of-the-art technologies in industrial networks and intelligent systems

• Cloud computing for intelligent industrial processing management

• Big data analysis and processing in various industries and services

• Quality of service for software in IIoT
