Viable and Digital Supply Chain
Supply chain viability is considered a fundamental characteristic of supply chains that encompasses resilience and sustainability. Various ways to increase supply chain viability are widely discussed at the management levels of companies, as well as in academia. Nevertheless, important insights are still missing on how to best design and manage viable supply chains in the future. Our talk aims to make an important contribution to this area. The founder of supply chain viability theory, Prof. Dmitry Ivanov will present the most recent theory and practical insights on supply chain viability and intertwined supply networks. The discussion will focus on five major pillars of supply chain viability theory (i.e., viable supply chain design, ripple effect, intertwined and reconfigurable supply networks, digital supply chain, and Industry 5.0). A particular focus will be on digital supply chains, and how digital technology can help improve resilience and viability. We will specifically look at digital twins for supply chain mapping, visibility, and AI-based decision-making support.

Maintenance 5.0: Improving industrial maintenance based on Prescriptive Analytics and Digital Twin
Maintenance 5.0 represents a transformative approach to industrial maintenance which leverages the power of Prescriptive Analytics and Digital Twin technologies. In this context, maintenance practices evolve from reactive and preventive strategies to proactive, and data-driven strategies. Therefore, with the integration of Prescriptive Analytics, in conjunction with Digital Twin, Maintenance 5.0 empowers industries to achieve higher levels of operational efficiency and cost-efficiency. On the one hand Prescriptive Analytics utilizes advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithms for the prediction of future failures and the prescription of optimal maintenance actions, and on the other hand Digital Twin facilitates the virtual representation of physical assets. Through real-time monitoring and analysis of asset data, potential faults and performance anomalies can be identified and addressed before they escalate into critical issues. Furthermore, the utilization of Digital Twin enables virtual experimentation, allowing for improved maintenance planning, optimization of resources, and reduced downtime. Therefore, in this keynote talk the key concepts and benefits of Maintenance 5.0 are presented, shedding light on how the convergence of Prescriptive Analytics and Digital Twin can drive future improvements in industrial maintenance practices.

Demystifying Misconceptions: A Critical Perspective on Additive Manufacturing Technologies
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has sparked significant enthusiasm but also led to overstated claims about its
capabilities.
This communication aims to provide a critical perspective on the misconceptions surrounding AM technologies and
their implications. It will address four key issues commonly associated with AM: (1) the belief that AM represents
an entirely new set of manufacturing processes, (2) the notion that AM can fabricate any geometry with any
material, (3) the idea that AM will disrupt traditional supply chains, and (4) the assumption that anyone can easily
utilize AM.
By demystifying these misconceptions, this communication will highlight the realities and consequences of each
issue at various levels. While AM offers significant advantages, it is important to recognize that it cannot replace
well-established manufacturing technologies entirely. However, the impact and potential of AM are undeniable, and it will undoubtedly shape the future of manufacturing in the coming decades. This communication focuses on essential concepts for manufacturing specialists and can provide valuable insights
for researchers exploring logistics, social sciences, and business topics related to AM technologies. Understanding the limitations and advantages of AM is crucial for informed decision-making and successful implementation in the
manufacturing industry.

Regular & Invited Sessions
Regular Sessions cover the topics of the conference and mainly group the papers that fall within a specific research subject and submitted to the regular program.
Invited Sessions consist of papers collected within the scope of an Open Track (for the full list of available tracks check the Topics & Tracks section) proposed by one or more organizers. In this case, papers are mainly based on personal invitation by the Open Track organizer(s) but may also include papers submitted to the regular program.
Presentation Formats and Speakers' Instructions
Parallel Sessions (either regular or invited) will last about 1 hour and 30 minutes and may include between 4 and 5 papers. Both sessions provide the opportunity for Authors (both in-person and virtual) to present their work live by sharing their presentations and giving their talk (max 12 minutes) followed by Question & Answers (around 3 minutes). All the blended sessions will be streamed via MS Teams so that virtual attendees can also listen to the presentations being held in the conference physical rooms and interact with the audience in there. This way, also presenting authors attending the conference remotely will be able to share their screen, give their talk and interact with the audience in the conference physical rooms. Presentation formats are free.
Special Sessions
Special sessions offer a venue for the presentation of topics of special academic, social or industrial interest, including project presentations, panel discussions or non-technical talks on topics
such as research funding, entrepreneurship, or technology transfer.
R&D Projects Dissemination Event @ISM 2023
The ISM 2023 Organization Committee has embraced the vision to make the conference the perfect environment for knowledge exchange and dissemination. In particular, dissemination activities (integrated with communication and exploitation) are essential for the impact and success of R&D projects. Funding bodies (e.g. the EU commission) usually request partners to organize midterm and final dissemination events in order to broadly disseminate the outputs of the project.
With this in mind, ISM 2023 is organizing this special “R&D Projects Dissemination Event” dedicated to oral presentations of ongoing or final results of R&D projects in all the areas related to the conference topics.
This special event will represent a unique platform for companies, research bodies and universities to:
- disseminate their project progress and results to the relevant scientific communities, potential investors, stakeholders, regulatory bodies, potential users, and lay audience;
- find other R&D project partnership opportunities with other speakers or people of the audience.

Industrial Innovation Post Digitalisation
Envisioning a foreseeable “post digitalisation” era in industrial innovation, we identify massive potential in the
miniaturization and autonomisation of seamlessly embedded AI technologies towards a ground breaking, rigorous
and ubiquitous “cognification” of industrial systems. Current trends include the deployment of AI technology in
industry, involving centralized, edge and cloud-based back-end AI, with very complex algorithmic machine learning
strategies, massive computational effort for model training and inference and intricate generation and handling of
huge data sets. Our research, in contrast, aims for a radically miniaturized, radically dispersed, federated, resource-
efficient, low power, low algorithmic complexity, live, online, human brain inspired, real-time AI that operates on-
device, and reliably even in harsh environments. We attempt for autonomic ondevice AI, and its amplification to
collective on-multiple-device AI. Thus we address (i) the miniaturization of AI systems (hardware, algorithms,
methods), (ii) the orchestration of dispersed AIs, (iii) the opportunistic self-organization of limited resource
ensemble AIs, (iv) reinforcement-, federated- and transfer-learning models and methods to operate embedded AIs,
as well as (iv) the mapping of all the related findings into the cognification of products and production systems of
the future.
