Societies and industries are facing many challenges to be even more intelligent and sustainable. In this context, many good practices and approaches are being explored, and several new contributions are daily produced. In this context, many good practices and approaches are being investigated, and several unique contributions are daily proposed without being disseminated. So, the track “Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Societies” wants to overcome this gap.
A smart society looks to citizens problems and tries to maximise the use of innovative technologies and collaboration across multiple sectors to create more efficient, intelligent, and adaptable services. In this context emerges the concept of smart cities that coalesce smart infrastructures with human needs through community services. Connected and efficient cities and communities can lead to informed, engaged, and contented citizens. However, to have a smart society is also required to have intelligent industries. Industry 4.0 consists of the digital transformation of manufacturing/production, related sectors, and value creation processes. It represents a new stage in the organisation and control of the industrial value chain where Artificial Intelligence has a vital role through the automation of processes, prediction and reduction of errors and failures.
The evolution of Industry and Societies must be holding hands requiring a multi-disciplinary endeavour, where technology and Artificial Intelligence are in this area as a bonding element for each of the services it sustains.
This track intends to link researchers and professionals able to explore new solutions applied to society and Industry. It will further explore and present paradigms, solutions, or best practices to be implemented in the real world. It represents a new era of disseminating knowledge by showing how scientific knowledge can be transferred to society and applied in the industry using Data Science and Artificial Intelligence approaches. IA4IS is open to several contributions in both areas like cognitive computing platforms and applications, including technologies and infrastructures related to Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, as well as big data processing and data analytics.
This track is supported by the research project ioCity (NORTE-01-0247-FEDER-045397). The best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the MDPI Future Internet Topical Collection “Innovative People-Centered Solutions Applied to Industries, Cities and Societies.
