Scope of the Special Session
Today’s control of industrial processes is done in a highly centralized and hierarchical manner. Future concepts like component based and collaborative automation, as planned to be introduced with the Digital Manufacturing or Industry 4.0 initiatives, paving the way for the 4th industrial revolution, require much more distributed control functionalities. There are many challenges to support this development enhancing the aspects of distributed control, adaptation of IIoT technologies to industrial needs, enhancement of control and applications by context and location awareness as well as application design and common-model based 3D engineering and supervision. The objective of this special session is to provide opportunities to the researchers and practitioners for discussing solutions to those challenges in industrial applications.
Topics of interest for this special session include but are not limited to
- Approaches and applications for distributed industrial control
- Distributed control via industrial communication networks
- Industrial IoT protocols and platforms
- New localization approaches for the factory floor
- Collaborating industrial machines
- Modelling and Simulation of industrial components and systems
- Engineering of distributed industrial components and systems
- Visualization and monitoring of distributed machineries and smart systems
- System security of material handling and smart manufacturing applications
- Application of time-sensitive networking technology for real-time networks
