 *ABSTRACT*

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.
