Dear Colleague, We are glad to announce the second Call for Papers for the Special Session on Innovative Computational Intelligence Knowledge-based Solutions for Zero Defect Scenarios on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems. The Special Session has been included in the 1st IEEE International Conference on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (IEEE ICPS 2018) programme, May 15-18, 2018, Saint Petersburg, Russia. All accepted paper will appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library and the good quality paper may be considered for publication in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics subjects to further rounds of review. Topics of interest include: - Predictive and prescriptive artificial intelligence architectures for ICPS - Real-time machine condition monitoring & diagnostic for global environments - Advance knowledge representation methodologies and ontologies - Pattern recognition and identification based on big data analytics in ICPS - Crowdsourcing and crowd cloud computing methodologies - Self-adaptive & self-reconfiguration system development methods - Virtual modelling and simulators for zero defect ICPS scenarios - Connected ICPS network sensors for smart manufacturing environments - Innovative deep learning topologies for ICPS applications Important Dates Paper submission deadline extended to: January 31, 2018 Paper acceptance: February 28, 2018 Final paper submission: March 31, 2018 Information on the IEEE ICPS 2018 will be regularly updated in the Conference website: http://icps2018.net/ I should be very grateful if you could publicize this event among your colleagues. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
