FICN 2018 - 1st ACM International Workshop on Future Industrial Communication Networks

ACM FICN seeks original, novel, and previously unpublished (and currently not under consideration anywhere else) papers that address the challenges faced by modern industrial networks. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by eminent members of the Technical Program Committee where technical merit, novelty, timeliness, and relevance to the workshop shall be taken into consideration.
Topics of interest to ACM FICN include, but are not limited to:
Autonomous and intelligent intent-based networks
Critical communication network and systems
Industry 4.0 communication systems and related standards
Green communication and battery-saving systems
Large-scale sensor networks and industrial IoT (IIoT) applications
5G and industrial requirements
Reliable and time sensitive networks
Industrial applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks
Heterogeneous networks involving modern and legacy (non IP-based) equipment
Bid and design phases of communication networks (optimization & coverage)
Low-power wide area machine-to-machine networks
Software-defined networking (SDN) for industry
Condition monitoring, analytics, and prognosis for industrial systems
Cybersecurity: dissemination, identification, and defense against industrial malware/botnets
Test-beds and real-life measurements for highly scalable industrial applications
