General Information:
The rapidly growing Internet of Things will become a global super-infrastructure connecting smart
devices across all application domains. Within, the continuous functioning of an unprecedented number
of interacting components and the services they provide will be indispensable for the sustainable
success of our industry and society. This special session puts a focus on dependability aspects in the
design, implementation, test, and operation of IoT devices in Industry 4.0: Real-time control and
communication, safety demands, security issues, and long-term maintenance concepts are just a few
examples for the challenges to be expected in smart production for any industrial sector.
Goals and Audience
The goal of this special session is to survey fundamental and applied aspects of dependability in the Internet of Things and Industry
4.0, as well as to identify novel opportunities and research directions in related areas.
Topics
The session will host both invited and contributed papers ranging from technological foundations to current research directions. Topics
include but are not limited to:
- General Dependability Aspects for IoT Systems
(real-time, safety, security, maintenance)
- Application-Specific Hardware
(adaptive platforms, reconfigurable logic, etc.)
- Design of IoT Middleware and Distributed Services
(dynamic composition, programming paradigms,
fault-tolerance, self-x, big data processing, etc.)
- Design of IoT Application Software
(standards, frameworks, interaction, etc.)
- Dependable Communication and I/O
(wired and wireless, self-organization, etc)
- Formal methods
(verification, validation, etc.)
- Tooling and Case Studies for Dependable Systems
- Dependability in specific Application Domains
(Automotive, Avionics, Rail, Space, Medicine, etc.)
