Abstract:
With the development of wireless communication technologies, e.g., wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, large scale industrial plants slowly get the opportunities to adapt their advantages. Traditional industrial fieldbus can be replaced by wireless networks, which give more flexibility with lower cost and risk of single point of failure. Thousands of industrial equipment can also be monitored by using wireless sensors to detect their health status and even diagnose the type/location of fault based on extracted features. We see a huge potential of applying wireless technologies and artificial intelligences to make the existing large scale industrial plants smarter. We also see a huge amount of effort should be made to realize this beautiful computing vision. Thus, in this workshop, we are interested in exploring recent emerging technologies and research developments on industrial networks and intelligent systems to advance the step towards the smarter plants in conjugation with this semi-annual flagship conference of IEEE VTS.
