Workshop 8: Industrial Internet of Things(IoT)
Title: Emerging Technologies and Applications for Industrial Internet of Things(IoT)
Keywords: 5G, B5G，AI, Sensing, Communication, Computation, Storage, Control, Industrial IoT
Summary:
With the development of sensing, communication, computation, storage, and control technologies, it is expected that everything could be connected by the Internet, e.g. cars, trains, airplanes, machines in factories. The physical world and virtual world will interact with each other and then create a more efficient, safer and smarter future life. However, different industrial scenarios have different requirements of sensing, communication, computation, storage and control. This workshop aims to serve as a key platform to showcase and disseminate the latest progress and breakthrough in the area of industrial Internet of things. Its topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
