WFCS 2017
Date: May 31, 2017 12:00 am – Jun 02, 2017 11:00 am
Location: Trondheim, Norway
13th IEEE International Workshop - Factory Communication Systems
Sponsors: IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (requested), Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway, and SINTEF, Norway
The WFCS workshop is the largest IEEE technical event specially dedicated to industrial communication systems. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers to review current trends in this area and to present and discuss new ideas and new research directions.
Focus
- Real-time and Dependability in Industrial Communication Systems: message scheduling; task allocation; fault-tolerant communication; performance analysis; safety and security issues; synchronization.
- System Integration in Industrial Automation Systems: vertical and life-cycle aspects; web-based setup, maintenance, and configuration; transparency vs. security; data-flow management; internetworking; hybrid wired/wireless industrial infrastructures; M2M communication, Plug-and-Work and self- mechanisms.
- Information and Communication Technology in Automation: system design; component-based systems, web frameworks; cloud computing, service-oriented architectures (SoA); mobile computing; modeling and specification techniques; formal methods; Internet of Things (IoT)/Internet of Services.
- Recent advances in research domains with similar technical requirements: networked control systems; wireless sensor networks; smart grid communications and building automation networks; automotive and train-control networks; distributed real-time embedded systems.
Conference topics:
- Fieldbus networks
- Industrial Ethernet networks
- IP-based networks
- Industrial wireless networks
- Industrial Applications of Internet of Things (IoT)
- Networked embedded systems
- Sensor networks
- Building automation networks
- Automotive and train-control networks
- Factory and Process automation networks
- Real-time communication and applications
- Web-based communication and applications
- Distributed application platforms
- Safety and security in industrial communications
