=============================================
Paper submission deadline
March 8, 2022, 11:59pm Hawaii Time

** IMPORTANT NEWS **
Selected papers of the workshop will be invited to provide extended 
versions for submissions to a Special Issue of the"Sensors" journal 
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/about. More details are available 
on the Workshop Web site.

Scope
---------------------
The manufacturing industry is entering a new digital era in which 
advanced information systems and especially (big) data-driven methods 
and Artificial Intelligence techniques allow companies to move beyond 
distributed and supervisory control systems to support significant 
operational improvements and allow dynamic adaptability. Moreover, 
human-centered trustworthy AI systems provide the ability to augment 
human work and extend human capabilities in order to solve problems and 
achieve goals that were unreachable by either humans or machines alone. 
Such efforts may allow the manufacturing industry in the post-COVID to 
"go back to normal” and  optimize, scale and ensure their processes and 
services towards a circular and resilient economy.

This workshop seeks at providing the opportunity for inspiration and 
cross-fertilization for the research groups working on technological 
solutions for digital factories and smart manufacturing. We welcome 
innovative papers from academic and industrial researchers covering a 
wide range of topics of interests in the computer science and computer 
engineering fields.


Topics of interest
---------------------
The topics include but are not limited to:

* Advanced Information Systems for Smart Manufacturing
* Information Systems Engineering for Production Management
* Big Data Technologies and Analytics for Smart Manufacturing
* Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methods for production 
systems
* AI and digital twin applications in production and operations management
* Design issues for multimodal human-AI interactions in the industrial 
environment
* Explainable and transparent AI in manufacturing
* AI approaches to support and leverage circular economy production models
* AI approaches to predict and minimize the effects of unpredictable events
* Digital intelligent assistants, software robots (softbots) and chatbots
* Applications of Human-Centered AI systems in manufacturing


Important Dates
