Scope and Overview
==================
The manufacturing industry is entering a new era in which new ICT
technologies and collaboration applications will be integrated with
traditional manufacturing practices and processes to increase
flexibility and sustainability in manufacturing, mass customization,
increase automation, better quality and to improve productivity. The
virtual factory paradigm plays a key role in the achievement of these
objectives. A virtual factory is defined as a multi-layered integration
of the information related to various activities along the factory and
product lifecycle manufacturing related resources. A central aspect of a
virtual factory is that of enabling the product lifecycle stakeholders
to collaborate through the use of software solutions. The virtual
factory thus expands outside the actual company boundaries and offers
the opportunity for the business and its suppliers to collaborate on
business processes that affect the supply chain.
This session seeks at providing the opportunity for inspiration and
cross-fertilization for
the research groups working on technological solutions for virtual
factories. It will welcome innovative papers from academic and
industrial researchers covering a wide range of topics of interests in
the computer science and computer engineering fields. The topics include
but are not limited to:
- Cloud computing
- Big data architectures
- Real-time systems
- Data analytics
- Digital Security, Privacy and Liability
- Digital Platform Interoperability
- Service-Oriented Architectures
- Multi-agent systems
- Business Process Management
- Internet-of-things
