Track 6: Call for Paper

With the rapid development of computing and communication technologies, e.g., wireless mesh networks, cloud computing and cyber-physical system, modern networks have been wildly applied in large-scale industrial factories. A large number of industrial equipments will be monitored by various types of wireless sensors for health status monitoring, fault diagnosis, automatic recovery, etc. This brings traditional industry better quality-of-service, lower cost and failure risk thanks to the advantage of control systems and information technologies. We see an upcoming trend and the huge benefit of applying intelligent systems in various industrial networks. On the other hand, the industrial environment includes harsh and extreme working conditions, which emerge the urgent requirements of intelligent systems. This significantly exaggerates the challenges to industrial networks with the consideration of high system requirements (e.g., reliability, robustness, response time, fault-tolerance, etc.) and rough environment. These new challenges call for much effort from both academia and industry. This track is committed to provide a platform for researchers to exchange their latest research achievements in industrial networks and intelligent systems.
