TFSC 2020 : Impacts and investigations of disruptive technologies for Industry 4.0

Topics of Interest:

We seek the papers demonstrating theoretical and practical contributions, solutions and real use cases for industry 4.0. Real-world examples and demonstrations of real-world solutions are welcome, particularly investigations of its impacts, current status, futuristic and advanced services are required. Please note that TFSC is not a technical computing science journal and it is essential that authors know the types of content suitable for TFSC. These can be known as important destructive technologies for Industry 4.0 related to the following areas:

• Industrial Internet of Things: All the data, networks and services are on the fog/edge computing and 5G networks to enable better infrastructure, platform and applications running on mobile devices, autonomous cars, high-end data centres and wide area of wireless networks and communications.
• Big data and data analytics: All the fusion, processing, analysis and visualization can be carried out in real-time, meeting the requirements for speed and accuracy. Insights and important findings in healthcare, finance, weather studies, geo-economics, social networks, security and manufacturing can be provided easily and accurately.
• Supply chain: Supply chain allows automation, smart manufacturing and seamlessly integrated services (between smart devices, and between smart devices and apps, and between smart apps and people) to work together well, thus improving efficiency, reducing costs and streamlining business.
• Blockchain in real world services: Whatever services we use, they can be booked, checked and authenticated. Blockchain can be used in wider areas, such as in finance, medical, security and smart services.
• Other emerging areas: Theoretical and practical contributions, solutions and real use cases of other emerging areas are largely welcome. These may include AI for everyday uses, since AI can be made more usable, interactive, efficient and effective for majority of services such as robots, purchasing, driverless cars, smart hospitals, smart cities, facial recognition, financial forecasting and predictive modelling for consumers.
