IEEE INDIN'18 Conference - Special Session Announcement (CfP)

Loughborough and Linköping Universities have submitted a Special Session proposal at this year’s IEEE INDIN conference (https://web.fe.up.pt/~indin2018/).

The proposed topic is “Towards Dynamic Manufacturing System through the Plug-and-Produce Paradigm” and will cover the different aspects of the openMOS project.

The exact details can be found here: https://web.fe.up.pt/~indin2018/doc/SS14-INDIN2018_CFP.pdf

Submissions welcome. Topics of interest include:

• Open Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Platform. 
  
• Embedded plug-and-produce device controllers. 
  
• Frameworks and reference architectures for modular plug-and-produce automation systems (service-oriented architecture, cloud architecture etc.) 
  
• Automatic discovery and registration of automation devices using ‘Plugand-Produce’ device service wrappers (OPC-UA).
  
• Standardisation in communication protocols, semantic interface description, equipment description, product requirements specification, process execution etc (OPC-UA, AutomationML, etc).
• Protocols for exchanging production system information with higher level plant management systems. 
• Integration of automatic monitoring and energy optimisation methodology for ‘Plug-and-Produce’ systems. 
• Monitoring and model learning methods for rapid changeover, integration and optimisation strategies. 

Paper submission deadline is 15th April 2018.
