Cyber-Physical Product Creation for Industry 4.0 - Journal Special issue

Goal: Industry 4.0 has become a synonym for a vision of future product creation and production engineering environments in which networks of horizontally and vertically integrated smart design and manufacture systems will be the norm. With the Industrial Internet of Things and its Cyber-physical Systems as a backbone, game-changing new ways of product design and manufacture in a hyper-connected globalized world are emerging. In addition, a new and rapidly growing industrial service-sector focusing on Product-Service-Systems has begun to form. Some of the challenges in realizing the overall vision of Industry 4.0 concern the integration, management, control and communication of cyber-physical production engineering systems, the integration of state-of-the-art technology with legacy systems, data security and broader cyber-security aspects, as well as national and international public policy issues. Lastly, given the profound impact of this so-called 4th
Industrial Revolution on society as a whole, the changing landscape of tomorrow’s job market and hence the training and education of the next generation workforce need to be addressed as well.

The objective of this special issue of the International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing is to seek high quality
and unpublished papers that advance research and thus the state-of-the-art in all facets of Cyber-physical Product Creation in the broader
context of Industry 4.0. Contributions may include theoretical foundations, open technical challenges, innovative applications and implementations in industry, business case studies, experimental
studies, associated design-and manufacture education initiatives, as well as outstanding review papers.
For further details and topics please refer to the Call for Paper document.

Project log

Dirk Schaefer
added an update
About 2/3 of the reviews are now in. Additional reviewers have been invited to speed up the process. We hope to have all reviews completed soon.
 
Dirk Schaefer
added an update
Some authors asked for short extensions, which were granted. All papers received are now under review.
 
Dirk Schaefer
added an update
We received an excellent number of highly topical and relevant abstracts for cosnideration. All abstracts have been reviewed and successful authors have been invited to submit full manuscripts by the deadline of November 1, 2016. Instructions for paper submission were sent out as well.
