Industry"

CALL FOR PAPERS

International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2015).
July 12-17, 2015, Killarney, Ireland.

Submissions are invited for IJCNN 2015 Special Session
on “Big Data in Smart Industry”

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.

TOPICS:

We would like to encourage the submission of papers within
the general scope of the Special Session (Big data in Smart
Industry) in the following topics:

- Modeling of large datasets
