Call for Papers
*SITE 2024*
The 1st Workshop on Systems and Technologies for IT/OT IntegraTion
in Industry 4/5.0 Environments (SITE 2024)
Co-located with *IEEE CAMAD 2024*
October 21-23, 2024 – Athens, Greece
On-site event
website: https://site2024.spilab.es/
*Technically co-sponsored by IEEE & IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc)*
Recently, the Industry 4.0 revolution claims the need for a paradigm shift consisting of a massive adoption of Information and Communication Technologies by all factory departments (from business to production lines), to transform production and product delivery processes radically. I4.0 fosters a deep change in the rigid organization model of the factory. The multiple implications of the “connected factory" concept will lead the production environments to unexpected developments, impacting both OT and IT layers. Connected and interacting objects will populate the factories of the future.
In the prospected landscape, a progressive and decisive integration of the IT and OT layers is expected to occur, which practitioners are used to refer to as IT/OT convergence, stressing the shortening of the gap (both physical and conceptual) between the manufacturing processes running at the OT layer, and storage, networking, computing resources, and business-oriented software suites populating the IT layer.
In this context, emergent paradigms, approaches, and technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), privacy-enhancing technologies (PET), cybersecurity, blockchain (BC), Cloud Continuum, Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM), Zero Waste Manufacturing, Industrial Sustainability, IIoT Platforms, Advanced Service Orchestration in industrial deployments, 5G/6G communication, Digital Twins (DT), and metaverse are key enablers shaping the development of an IT/OT convergent smart factory.
The focus of SITE is on the convergence of IT and OT layers within the modern Industry 4/5.0 compliant factories, and the systems and technologies that ease or enable this revolutionary integration.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Application of Industrial Cloud Continuum.
- IIoT Platforms and Service Orchestration.
- 5G/6G communication for industrial deployments.
- Computing continuum for smart cities services.
- Digital Twins for industrial process or product monitoring.
- Edge data center deployment in industrial environments.
- ML- and AI-based approaches cloud/edge-based smart city applications.
- AI-driven models, architectures, and frameworks for edge computing.
- Reliable communication protocols in industrial production lines.
- Design and evaluation tools for scalability and efficient resource allocation in Industry 4/5.0.
- ML-evaluation for automatic road anomaly detection and predictive maintenance.
- Models and paradigms for the management of cloud/MEC services within/between industrial data.
- Blockchain solutions for secure and reliable transactions between counterparts in data sharing/trading.
- Security and privacy techniques for IT/OT convergence in smart factory applications.
- Post-quantum security and privacy for Industrial applications.
- Zero Waste/Defect Manufacturing.
- IIoT for the sustainability of modern industrial production plants.
- Green Manufacturing in Industry 5.0 deployments.
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Networks in Industry 5.0 environments.
- Interoperability of Digital Twins in the manufacturing industrial process.
