In a joint activity of the Special Interest Groups Mathematics for Big Data and Math for the Digital Factory of the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) this workshop strives to bring together data scientists, mathematicians, and engineers from academia and industry to discuss recent developments in digital manufacturing. The workshop consists of a combination of plenary and contributed scientific talks. There will be a session on digital twin technology with presentations highlighting theoretical concepts and practitioners from industry showing state of the art digital twin realizations. Another topic will be machine learning and artificial intelligence applications in automated manufacturing. In addition, we plan a session with representatives of the MANUFUTURE technology platform and the EU Industrial Technologies Programme (NMP) about challenges in manufacturing research and funding opportunities in the new Horizon Europe framework program. Further topics to be discussed are (but not limited to)

• Artificial Intelligence and Manufacturing
• Automation and reinforcement learning
• Discrete event systems, petri nets and workflow simulation
• Distributed Optimization
• Math for virtual product development
• Modelling, simulation, and optimization (MSO) of production systems
• Topological Data Analysis (TDA) in Machine Learning

Call for abstracts

We welcome academics and practitioners to participate in this workshop and to submit an abstract for a contributed presentation on any aspect related to digital manufacturing & big data using the pre-registration form here.

Deadline for submission of abstracts is November 18, 2020.

Registration

Registration is done in a two-stage process. We ask everybody interested in the workshop to pre-register here. During the pre-registration process you can also submit the abstract for a scientific presentation. After notification of acceptance of presentations the registration will start here, presumably from 20 November. For this all pre-registered participants will receive a registration link. Participants from an ECMI institution and speakers will receive a discount code with the same email.

Registration fees

• Speakers and participants from ECMI institutions:   Free
• Everybody else:   50 €

Please note: Fee waivers are available on request for participants from developing countries (see list here) by sending an email to ma4difa@wias-berlin.de.

Every registered participant will receive a link to the event, a list of participants, the book of abstracts, as well as access to the slides of all presenters who agree to share their presentation.
