Welcome to IMAACA 2022!

Dear Sir/Madam,

innovations and improvements are required to react quickly to the new trends of the global economy. Over the years, Modeling & Simulation (M&S) has proved to be one of the most effective, beneficial and successful methodologies to investigate and study complex systems belonging to various sectors/areas. Nevertheless, to take full advantage of this technology there are relevant issues that keep challenging the researchers towards even more advanced solutions and approaches where emerging and cutting-edge technologies are absorbed into. M&S is widely and successfully applied in many application domains, ranging from industry to social sciences, from logistics to military, from energy to healthcare; in this sense M&S provides a multidisciplinary perspective where theory and data from different fields can be used to build models and simulations that provide insights in to the system considered.

The 2022 International Conference On Integrated Modeling And Analysis in Applied Control And Automation (IMAACA) will be a platform for knowledge exchange, the review and discussion of theoretical advances, research results, and industrial experiences, among scientists, researchers, decision makers, practitioners and students dealing with the topics under the umbrella of multidisciplinary modeling & simulation.

Therefore, we would like to kindly invite you to take an active part in this conference and in the co-located events that will be held at Rome, Italy on September 19-21, 2022 and explore with us the latest news, views and developments in the exciting world of multidisciplinary modeling & simulation.

Sincerely,

I3M 2022 Organization Committee

Tracks

An Open Track addresses specific, well-defined subjects and has no upper limit on the number of papers that can be submitted to it. Contributions to open tracks can be either regular papers or short papers (min 3 pages length) and they will appear in the conference proceedings. The organizer(s) of an Open Track will be inviting contributions but the tracks are open to everyone is willing to contribute. If at least 4 papers are submitted to the track, one (or more) Invited Sessions, including those papers, will be part of the conference program.

Chair: Daniel E. Viassolo

Track Description: It is nowadays possible and affordable to deploy complex workflows dedicated to collect asset data, detect anomalies, and estimate remaining useful life to optimize asset maintenance. Machine Learning plays a major role in such involved workflows, leveraging the tremendous amounts of data generated by IoT sensors, maintenance systems and operating systems. It is fair to state that the availability of affordable computing power, massive data storage and low-cost sensors, initiated a revolution in condition-based maintenance. Companies across the board have taken bold steps in implementing condition-based asset maintenance schemes as they quickly became aware of the tremendous benefits they can bring to their bottom lines. This invited session solicits contributions describing applications of advanced Machine Learning, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and Artificial Intelligence in general to the maintenance of industrial assets. Appropriate technologies for session topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Image analytics.
  • Aggregation of offline (non-realtime) and online methods.
  • Hybrid Models (data-based, physics-based).
  • Deep Learning.
  • Natural Language Processing.
  • Auto ML.
  • RPA – Robotic Process Automation.
Please be sure to select “​​​​​Machine Learning for Condition-Based Maintenance (ML4CBM) – Applications to Industrial Assets” as main topic during the submission.
