INDUSTRIAL CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS (ICPS): ICPS communication architectures; ICPS Technologies for interoperability; Connectivity between OT and IT; networked embedded systems; Cooperative industrial systems; Location awareness and mobility management; Multi-agent industrial systems; ICPS Applications.
INDUSTRIAL NETWORK PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: Industrial network protocol analysis tools; industrial network configuration and debug tools; industrial network management tools; Methods and techniques for industrial network performance assessment; Measurement issues in Industrial Internet of Things; Industrial network equipment characterization; In-service testing; Industrial Communication Protocol analysis; Conformance and interoperability testing of Industrial networks.
INDUSTRIAL NETWORK SAFETY AND SECURITY: Hhigh dependability industrial networks; mixed criticality systems; fault-tolerance; risk analysis and assessment; safety and certification; Internet and Intranet access; cyber-security; protection and countermeasures; industrial firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDSs); formal description techniques and verification of industrial protocol and applications; dissemination, identification, and defense against industrial malware/ botnets.
INDUSTRIAL INTERNET: Industrial Internet of Things; Communication solutions for Industry 4.0 applications and scenarios; Networking systems for Industrial big data analytics and metrics; Industrial cloud and edge computing network solutions; industrial middleware solutions; Software-defined networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) for Industrial communications; web-based setup; configuration and maintenance; Applications, testbeds and case studies.
GREEN COMMUNICATION IN INDUSTRY: Energy-efficient, resource-saving and environment-friendly networking; energy-saving and energy-harvesting techniques; green design; Green Scheduling and Resource Allocation for Industrial Communications.
RECENT ADVANCES IN RESEARCH DMAINS WITH SIMILAR COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS: Smart grid communications; 5G and industrial requirements; smart home and building automation networks; Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs); vehicle to X networking; smart cities connectivity; Wireless Health Care (WHC).
Types of submissions WFCS 2019 promotes two types of submissions: Regular Papers - from 6 to 8 double-column pages and Work-in-Progress Papers (WiP) limited to 4 double-column pages. Regular papers give a unique opportunity for receiving the community feedback about new ideas and result. WiP papers enable authors to share late-breaking results, with emphasis on the novelty of the work, rather than the completeness.
Submission of papers Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format, according to the instructions available on the conference web site. Contributions must contain original unpublished work. Papers that have been concurrently submitted to other conferences or journals (double submissions) will be automatically rejected.
Paper acceptance Each accepted paper must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. The final camera-ready manuscript must be accompanied by a registration form and a registration fee payment proof. All conference attendees, including authors and session chairpersons, must pay the conference registration fee, and their travel expenses.
Important dates to know before WFCS 2019: Regular papers: Submission deadline February 4, 2019 Notification for acceptance: March 18, 2019 Deadline for final manuscript: April 22, 2019 Conference: May 27-29, 2019
WiP papers: Submission deadline: April 1, 2019 Notification for acceptance: April 30, 2019 Deadline for final manuscript: May 6, 2019 Conference: May 27-29, 2019
