Call for Book Chapters:
Simulation for
Industry 4.0
Past, Present, and
Future
Editor: Murat M.Gunal
Publisher: Springer
We invite you
to contribute a book
chapter for the
upcoming book entitled “
Simulation for Industry 4.0
-
Past, Present, and Future
”
to be published by Springer. The book is expected to be available both
in print and in eBook format by the end of 2018, and
intended for academic and professional audience. This is a great chance to
disseminate your experience, knowledge, and ideas with a world-class publisher.
The aim of this book is to emphasize the
role of simulation in the new industrial revolution: The Industry 4.0.
Our civilisation has witnessed revolutions in manufacturing of goods, first in
late 18th century. Discovery of machines powered by electricity and internal
combustion engines caused mass production and created an economic value, which
marked the second revolution. In late 20th century, advance production systems
which includes electronics, information technology, and robotics was
reflections of the information age on manufacturing, and an unnamed third
revolution. The fourth industrial revolution, the Industry 4.0, although many
countries name differently, is the concept of advanced digitization in
manufacturing and use of science and technology to create smart factories.
Simulation has a long history and close
links with industry and improved since the third revolution. This trend is
likely to grow within Industry 4.0 which aims at achieving complete
digitisation of manufacturing and the business. Different views of
simulation will bring a variety of its uses from augmented or virtual reality
to process engineering, from quantum computing to intelligent management.
Simulation methodologies, techniques,
tools, approaches, and uses for better management of processes and design of
products to achieve Industry 4.0 goals are welcome in this book. We are
interested in answering where, why, and how simulation takes part in the
following topics of interests. The list is not limited as new items might be added
necessarily.
- Digitisation of industrial processes
- Integrated/Connected Value Chains
- Digital Twin
- Smart Factory/Facility
- Augmented Reality
- Virtual Reality
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Industrial Internet
- Quantum computing
- Cloud computing
- 3D Printing
- Big data and analytics
- Autonomous robots and vehicles
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Customised/Additive Manufacturing
- Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
