Artificial Intelligence on the Edge for Industry 4.0
This special issue belongs to the section "Computing and Artificial Intelligence".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is based on the conference "Industry 4.0 and Beyond - The Final Conference of the PLANET4 Project", which is planned for the 2nd October in Pisa, Italy, as the final event of the PLANET4 project. It will provide an excellent international forum for disseminating original research results, new ideas and practical development experiences concentrating on both the theory and practices of academics, researchers, engineers and industry professionals. It aims to bring together researchers and scientists from academia, industry and research centers to present the results of ongoing research, exchange ideas and identify future research directions in the following areas: Industry 4.0; data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning; internet of things and industrial internet of things; and cloud and edge computing.
