[Iefac.list] New deadline: May 31, 2021. International Journal of Production Research: Special Issue: Analysis, Design, and Optimization in Smart and Connected Production and Service Systems

[Jingshan Li]

Dear Colleagues

The submission deadline of International Journal of Production Research Special Issue on “Analysis, Design, and Optimization in Smart and Connected Production and Service Systems” has been extended to May 31, 2021. See the link below.
https://www.journalconferencejob.com/smart-connected-production-systems

The theme of this special issue will be emerging methods and practices of analysis, design and optimization of smart and connected manufacturing and service systems. The smartness enables AI and advanced data analytics based intelligent operations and management in production and service, while the complexity is embedded through inter-connected components and units in the system. The purpose is to show the state-of-the-art research and applications in the general area of design and optimization in smart and interconnected production and service, by bringing together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry, to address the significant advancement, expose the unsolved challenges, present the needs for integration with new technologies, and provide visions for future research and development.

Due to strong competitions in modern manufacturing and service, smart production and service become more and more critical, which is the foundation for sustainable success and competitiveness in the
connected world. Substantial efforts have been devoted to research and practice of modelling, analysis, design, control, and optimization. In recent years, significant advancement in information technology,
particularly AI, machine learning, big data, etc., and the fast-growing economic activities, as well as the rapidly changing market have generated numerous opportunities for continuous improvement innovations. At the same time, many new challenges have emerged in order to apply and implement these innovations. Such opportunities and challenges have substantially expanded the scope of production research. In addition to manufacturing, the service sectors, such as healthcare, retail, energy, and transportation, are also experiencing the paradigm changes. The first principle based scientific methodology and rigorous quantitative approach are needed to analyse, design and optimize system structure and operations in such systems.

This special issue aims to publish original, significant and visionary papers describing scientific methods and technologies in analysis, design, and optimization of smart and connected production and service
systems with both solid theoretical development and practical importance. Rigorous quantitative methods and models supporting real world practice in production and service systems are welcome. Submissions of scientific results from experts in academia and industry worldwide are strongly encouraged. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, the following:
