<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:100%" align="justify">
<font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="3">Industry
is experiencing worldwide the beginning of a new era of innovation
and change. Sensors, actuators, supervision and control elements are
increasingly endowed with autonomy, flexibility, communication
capability and interoperability. The new generation of devices, which
is capable of data collection and processing, has been gradually
incorporated into several levels of the industrial production chain.
The synergy of these physical and computational elements forms the
base for a profound transformation of the global industry with a
perspective of a dramatic increase of productivity and reliability,
and significant benefits for the society. Within this new scenario,
the availability of a large amount of high dimensional data reveals
itself as a dilemma for the induction of data models. On the one
hand, there is an expectation that a greater ability of sampling
might improve performance and reliability. Nevertheless, the reality
is that most current methods and models are not able to deal with
problems of such high dimension and volume. Many current problems
involve terabytes of data with hundreds of variables and dimensions
that tend to rise continuously if the expected industrial growth rate
in the sector is maintained. Prognostics are for an exponential
growth of the data storage capacity in the worldwide network of
devices during the next years. In addition to the increased internal
connectivity of the industry, an improved integration and enhanced
synergy with consumer markets and inputs through networking appears
to be an inevitable path. Current trend suggests worldwide industry
will highly demand data models and processing capabilities to handle
time-varying, massive and high dimensional data. This is where Big
Data in Smart Industry problems become relevant, and it is crucial
that academia and industry are prepared from scientific and
technological points of view to face the new challenges.</font></font></p>
