EDMA-2017
The International Workshop on
Engineering Data- & Model-driven
Applications
joined with
10th IEEE International Conference on
Cyber, Physical and Social Computing
IEEE CPSCom-2017
We are witnessing a dramatic increase of large engineering data resource
availability and accessibility. Data-driven technologies, sensors connected
through the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data capabilities nowadays
show sustained development throughout an industrial product’s lifecycle,
from R&D testing to design, verification, production validation and
maintenance. Such progress in modern industrial environments exposes
richer, domain-specific data and requires validated model-driven
processes that interact dynamically with data science and computational
modelling approaches. New research in aggregation, integration, analysis
and governance of data and derived models is now required throughout
the lifecycle of industrial products – from design to exploitation, reuse and
recycle.
Delivering on these new opportunities requires development, validation
and adoption of effective data science solutions that can provide
information and insight from data and models to applications of cyberphysical systems, from autonomous cars to industrial processes.
Workshop topics
The EDMA-2017 international workshop aims to provide, within the 10th
IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing,
a forum for presentations, discussion and sharing of current challenges,
knowledge, expertise and solutions regarding trends and technologies for
the use of data and computational models for dealing with complexity in
industrial, engineering, cyber-physical and related domains.
This workshop invites contributions from across engineering and data
science researchers on data (knowledge discovery, machine learning, big
data analytics) and model-based methods (e.g. phenomenological /
engineering models of care, degradation and failure, reliability) to deliver
effective and efficient solutions to current challenges of handling
complexity in real-world engineering and industrial applications.
We welcome original contributions (reviews and surveys, technical and
research papers) on methodologies, formalisms, algorithms and solutions
for the following topics and related areas:



Data and Model Governance for Engineered Cyber-Physical Systems;
Engineering and Industrial Data Quality Assessment;
Machine Learning for Engineering and Industrial Data Processing;
Cyber-Physical Systems data measurement, monitoring and
forecasting;
Data Analytics and Visualisation, Patterns and Data Modelling for
Cyber-Physical Systems;
Computational Modelling Techniques, Software Tools and Verification,
Model Validation for Engineered Cyber-Physical Systems;
Big Data, Internet of Things, Expert Systems applications to CyberPhysical Systems;
Artificial Intelligence embedded in the development and modelling of
evolving open architecture Cyber-Physical Systems.
A highly visible industry speaker is being invited to contribute to the
workshop.
Paper Submissions
All submissions will be peer-reviewed; all accepted papers will be
included in the IEEE CPSCom-2017 conference proceedings published
by IEEE Computer Society Press and indexed in IEEE Xplore. At least
one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the
paper at the conference.
Selected papers in substantial extended form will be considered for
publication in a Special Issue of the Expert Systems journal (IF:
0.947).
Paper Submission Guidelines:
All papers will be submitted electronically in PDF format through the
EasyChair EDMA-2017 international workshop submission website.
The material submitted should not be published or under review
elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over length
charge) including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society
Conference Proceedings Manuscript template available on the IEEE
website.
