INDIN 2017 - 15th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics

It is our pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 15th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN`2017), sponsored by Industrial Electronics Society (IES) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and held in Emden, Germany, between the 24th and the 26th July 2017. In response to the exigencies of "The Undergoing Industrial Informatics R-Evolution" industry experts, researchers and academics are expected to gather together to share ideas and experiences surrounding frontier technologies, breakthroughs, innovative solu- tions, research results, as well as innovation initiatives related to industrial infor- matics and their applications.
The new disruptive advances on the cross-fertilization of concepts and the fusion of information, communication, automation and control technology-driven approaches in traditional industrial systems is already providing an innovation ecosystem for a broad range of industries, creating entirely new markets and platforms for growth. The technological, economic and social impacts of these developments, which are still at their dawn, are so enormous that the whole process is labeled as the 4th Industrial (R)-Evolution. It is really more an “evolution” than a “revolution”, since new products and services mainly based on the use and application of an existing big amount of data and information (now digitalized and understandable) are facilitating the creation of new functionalities and application based on the collaboration of interconnected heterogeneous systems in a cyber-physical space, the creation of new and retention of high-valuable jobs, and supporting the continuous improvement of the quality of life for the “citizens of a digitalized and informatised society.”
INDIN`2017 offers you a forum with wonderful historic and industrial surroundings, interesting scientific and technical menus and a conference site with well- equipped rooms, to complement an interesting and attractive technical program, keynote plenary sessions and tutorials on current research, development and innovation results in industrial informatics related topics.
We invite you to visit our venue page where you can learn more about our exquisite host venue for the conference and the beautiful landscape in which it resides (at the Wadden Sea, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List). This is a great opportunity to meet old friends and colleagues, find new ones and attend many high-quality technical activities as well as very enjoyable social ones. All conference committees and volunteers have been working hard and will keep doing their best to make INDIN`2017 a remarkable and unforgettable event.
