[hpc-announce] The First International Conference on Industrial IoT, Big Data and Supply Chain (IIoTBDSC) extended to Aug 1, 2020

[Chang V.I.]

Dear colleagues,

Due to numerous requests, our IIoTBDSC conference has extended to Aug 1, 2020, see http://iiotbdsc.com/. It will be held in Macao (Macau), Special Administration Region (SAR) of China on Sep 15-17 2020. There is a strong support from several ranked journals and reputable researchers. We'll get a few indexed status. Macao has only 46 COVID-19 infected case. It kept no transmission cases for 2.5 months before late June. See details below. You can also attend IIoTBDSC online. Hopefully you can consider. Thanks.

Thanks and regards,

Victor


The First International Conference on IndustrialIoT, Big Data and Supply Chain (IIoTBDSC) http://iiotbdsc.com/

Conference Date:September 15-17, 2020
Venue: Macao, Special Administration Region (SAR) of China
Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iiotbdsc20200 extended to Aug 1, 2020

We live in an interconnected world that different smart devices and people are connected together. The advancement of
high-tech services and reliability, efficiency, speed and accuracy of services have become crucial and popular in many aspects. The key elements include the Industrial Internet of Things, Big Data and Supply Chain.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a platform that allows a network of devices (sensors, smart meters, etc.) to communicate, analyze data and process information collaboratively in the service of individuals or organizations. Big Data (BD) has core values of volume, velocity, variety and veracity. Supply Chain requires the 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 greater impacts and contributions as follows. First, the issues surrounding IIoT devices, their interconnectedness and services they may offer, including efficient, effective and secure analysis of the data IIoT produces. Often machine learning and other advanced techniques, models and tools, and issues of security and trust are related. The maturity of IoT technologies can grow and become part of our everyday lives. Second, BD can be jointly used with machine learning, AI, statistical and other advanced techniques, models and methods, which can create values for people and organizations adopting it. Forecasting, deep analysis and analytics can help identify weaknesses and make improvements based on different analysis. Third, suppliers can know the updates on their stocks and demands. Manufacturers and transport companies know the workloads, destination and resource distributions. Finally, customers can know the real-time updates of the delivery of their goods. Investors can have better decisions on their goods, resources, sales and management. Supply chain can reach a greater sustainable ecosystem with the help of IIoT and Big Data.

This conference brings the experts, practitioners, scientists and decision-makers from academia and industry together. Our aim is to foster a strong, lively and well-connected international research community. We welcome innovative ideas, concepts, services, techniques, research outputs and business practices.

We are fully aware of COVID-19 and always take the highest level of risk and event management. Macao has only 45 infected cases (checked on May 23, 2020). It does not have local infected cases for weeks and has only few cases imported abroad. Therefore, Macao is relatively safer than other regions. We fully understand the current situations. In case that some participants are unable to come to Macao, we welcome online presentations via Zoom.

Details will be given after registration in August. Many thanks for your support and participation!
