Victor Chang (editor) - Modern Industrial IoT, Big Data and Supply Chain: Proceedings of the IIoTBDSC 2020 (Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies, 218)

The Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies book series encompasses the topics of knowledge, intelligence, innovation and sustainability. The aim of the series is to make available a platform for the publication of books on all aspects of single and multi-disciplinary research on these themes in order to make the latest results available in a readily-accessible form. Volumes on interdisciplinary research combining two or more of these areas is particularly sought.

The series covers systems and paradigms that employ knowledge and intelligence in a broad sense. Its scope is systems having embedded knowledge and intelligence, which may be applied to the solution of world problems in industry, the environment and the community. It also focusses on the knowledge-transfer methodologies and innovation strategies employed to make this happen effectively. The combination of intelligent systems tools and a broad range of applications introduces a need for a synergy of disciplines from science, technology, business and the humanities. The series will include conference proceedings, edited collections, monographs, handbooks, reference books, and other relevant types of book in areas of science and technology where smart systems and technologies can offer innovative solutions.

High quality content is an essential feature for all book proposals accepted for the series. It is expected that editors of all accepted volumes will ensure that contributions are subjected to an appropriate level of reviewing process and adhere to KES quality principles.

Indexed by SCOPUS, EI Compendex, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST), SCImago, DBLP.

All books published in the series are submitted for consideration in Web of Science.

We are pleased to publish this proceedings of the First International Conference on Industrial IoT, Big Data and Supply Chain (IIoTBDSC). The novelty in the scope is attracting contributions to some crucial aspects of our interconnected world. People and devices are defining high-tech services with open problems to face in reliability, efficiency, speed and accuracy.

We have received 120 submissions. After a peer-review process and paper improvement, 46 final papers were selected.

The conference proceeding scope is to demonstrate that todays challenges can be faced with crossover knowledge fields. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) allows the network of IoT devices to communicate, analyze data and process information collaboratively. Big Data (BD) infrastructure problem domains require to deal with the 5Vs: volume, velocity, variety and veracity. Supply chain requires modern advancement and support from IIoT and big data to make all services efficient, fast, accurate and reliable. These three can combine and work together to produce more significant impacts and contributions as follows.

The maturity of IoT technologies can grow and become part of our everyday lives. BD 5Vs is a must to provide affordable BD analytics using machine learning, AI, statistical and other advanced techniques, models and methods, which can create values for people and organizations adopting it. Suppliers can know the updates on their stocks and demands. Manufacturers and transport companies know the workloads, destination and resource distributions. Owners and customers are also stakeholders receiving benefits from these approaches. At the end of the day, the supply chain can reach a greater sustainable ecosystem with the help of IIoT and big data.

We are grateful for the opportunities to serve the community. We will organize IIoTBDSC 2021 again and will publicize it in due course.

We wish you a happy reading of our selected papers.

Yours sincerely,
