15th IEEE Workshop on Positioning, Navigation and Communications - Oct. 25th-26th 2018, Bremen
*Scope*
Industry 4.0 is the set of emerging technologies that, bridging multiple disciplines such as machine learning, 3D localization, automation, optimization and many more, is poised to revolutionize the way industrial processes are designed, instrumented and managed in order to cope with the increasing manufacturing complexity of the factories of the future. Beside this, 5G refers to a bundle of new wireless communication methods, protocols and radio access techniques that is currently under investigation to create future versatile networks where large numbers of devices of various sizes, power consumption and complexity profiles will be interconnected to provide multiple services, with very specific requirements in terms of achievable data rate, delay, robustness and reliability, spectral and energy efficiencies, and so on. Finally the IoT is set to be the new technological playground where services initially developed for the latter two fields, will disseminate to the homes and even the bodies of every-day consumers. Square in the center of all these major R&D areas is wireless localization (positioning), which plays an increasingly important role in solving challenging problems such as location-based network optimization, users and devices mobility monitoring, geo-referenced crowd sensing and physical mapping, coordinated control of unmanned vehicles
The IEEE Workshop on Positioning, Navigation and Communication (WPNC), the annual European event which for over a decade provides an international platform for exchanging the latest research results from both Industry and Academia in the areas of Positioning and Navigation and Communication, will embrace Industry 4.0, 5G Networks and the Internet of Things as its theme for the 2018 edition.
