Scope:
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.
In recent years, industrial IoT (IIoT) have drawn significant interest in industrial environment. It
allows a tight and seamless integration between lower layer components, such as sensors and
actuators, to the higher level connected with the cloud platform. 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 International Conference on Communication, Management and Information Technology
