DoCEIS 2019 - 10th Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems

The Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems is celebrating its 10th edition (DoCEIS 2019) with a focus on Technological Innovation for Industrial and Service Systems.
The industry and service sectors are going through profound transformation towards digitalization and integration of new levels of “smartness”. The idea of a 4th industrial revolution, represented by terms such as Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing and Economy 4.0 are an expression of such transformation.
This movement is characterized by an increasing digitalization and interconnection of systems, products, value chains, and business models. The interconnection between the physical and the cyber worlds – Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things – and the integration of the so-called “exponential technologies”, are central features of this innovation trend.
The objective of the conference is to share research findings and do brainstorming on the challenges and promising approaches for development of Industrial and Service Systems, in order to curve a clear, distinctive and well defined pathway for future work.
Key activities of the conference include:
-Presentation of research results by PhD students (co-authored by their supervisors).
-Tutorials by invited experts on scientific, methodological, or soft skills topics.
-Presentation and discussion of the base ideas of the theses plans.
-Discussion of the scientific and technical challenges in the Electrical and Computer Engineering specialization areas.
-Sharing of experiences among PhD students from different geographical regions.
-Forum on practical aspects (e.g. Publications, job markets, careers, etc.).
-Creation of collaboration (social) networks.
Prospective authors of research papers are invited to submit their manuscripts reporting original work, in any of the scientific areas of the conference. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques, and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Nevertheless, each paper must make a clear link to the main theme of the conference, including a section describing that link.
Following the successful previous editions, proceedings are expected to be published by Springer, IFIP AICT series (indexed in Web of Science, SCOPUS and DBLP). Best papers will be considered for possible inclusion in a special journal issue.
There will also be poster discussion sessions focusing on PhD thesis plans. These sessions are designed to provide early feedback to PhD candidates in the initial phase of their studies. For PhD theses recently finished (during the last year), a special type of submissions is invited.
The scope of the conference will cover, but will not be limited to, the following topics:
* Computational and Perceptional Systems
* Energy
* Enterprise Collaborative Networks
* Electronics
* Signal Processing
* Smart Biotechnology
* Informatics in Electrical Systems
* Industry Information Systems
* Telecommunications
* Biomedical Engineering
* Robotics and Integrated Manufacturing
Important Dates:
* 14 Nov 2018 – Abstract Submission
* 15 Dec 2018 – Full paper submission
* 19 Jan 2019 – Author notification
* 9 Feb 2019 – Camera Ready Submission
