A key approach within CE is Industrial Symbiosis (IS), where waste from one industry serves as a resource for another, reducing environmental impact while promoting economic efficiency. This track is dedicated to advancing IS by fostering collaboration between industries, policymakers, and researchers to transition away from the traditional linear economy.\nDespite its benefits, IS adoption faces significant barriers, including lack of awareness, technical limitations, economic feasibility, regulatory challenges, and social resistance. These challenges can be addressed by promoting inclusive and knowledge-driven IS practices and creating synergies among stakeholders, and by generating robust strategies that support sustainable production and resource optimization.<br>\nThe adoption of IS within CE frameworks will be instrumental in achieving long-term sustainability goals. Combined efforts from distinct stakeholders are crucial in transforming industrial processes, reducing waste, and enhancing environmental sustainability while ensuring economic benefits. By bridging knowledge gaps and facilitating cooperation, this Track is open to submissions form a broad range of topics addressing a balanced economic model that balances industrial growth with ecological responsibility. \nThis track proposal is part of the COST Action Project CA22110 \u2013 \u201cCooperation, development and cross-border transfer of Industrial Symbiosis among industry and stakeholders (LIAISE)\u201d.\n<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1432\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1432\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Artificial Intelligence for Supporting Human Work<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1432\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1432\"><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><b>Chair:<\/b> <sup>(a)<\/sup>Tim Jeske<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><b>Affiliation:<\/b> <sup>(a)<\/sup><em>ifaa \u2013 Institute of Applied Industrial Engineering and Ergonomics (Germany)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><b>Track Description:<\/b> Human work is crucial for a successful development of companies.

However, there are several concerns around this including privacy, cost, speed, reliability, security, networking, and trust in the systems that uses such models or approaches. One of the<br \/>limitations in DL is its data hungry nature i.e. it needs more data for training to give good results. However, after GDPR and other laws, data sharing became a big concern. Therefore, Google in 2016 presented its Federated Learning (FL) approach that does not need data to be stored on a central location for training rather the data remains at its own premises, but the model parameters are shared to be trained remotely over the data and then the trained model is sent back to be globally aggregated on the server. It helps in securely and efficiently training a model without violating any privacy concerns. Several researchers and practitioners have expressed their interest in this area with the expectation of profound effect in the context of Industry 4.0. However, the topic is still in early stages and needs to be investigated. There is a still more to do in literature from both a theoretical and empirical point of view.

Digital technologies, in a service oriented approach, are adapting to worker\u2019s need. New models for individualized human-machine interaction systems are developing for facing with new challenges. This is forcing a human centric approach that points on the sustainable resilience of smart operators, i.e. operators with \u00abaugmented\u00bb collaborative capabilities. In addition, the massive diffusion of digital technologies is forcing new way of interactions between humans and machines. Smart operators have to collaborate with automatic devices in a flexible, reliable, safe and inclusive work environment. One examples are collaborative robots (cobots), which are becoming popular in several industrial sectors from logistics to manufacturing. Cobots realize the highest level of adaptability with low investment cost. Their increasing diffusion is due to their high productivity and reliability as they are designed with a smarter collaborative perspective. The presence of cobot in a working environment requires a re-assessment of safety issues from risk analysis to risk control: thus, an integration of these issues is essential in the design and management of Industry 4.0 production environments. The emerging risk scenarios, due to the complexity of the task carried out by the operators as well as the dynamic interactions between operators and automatic systems, require new tools and dedicated approaches. Traditional ergonomics methods for designing and evaluating human-machine interactions needs to be updated. Operators\u2019 physical, cognitive and sensorial skills (aged by time), smart human actions and perceptive capabilities have to be investigated in a pro-active approach.

In particular, as stressed by various scholars , the exponential growth of digital technologies has caused significant improvements in many business processes, playing a significant role also in the supply chain management (SCM). The introduction of Industry 4.0 into manufacturing has many impacts on the whole supply chain. Collaboration between suppliers, manufacturers and customers is crucial to increase the transparency of all the steps from when the order is dispatched until the end-of-life of the product. Furthermore, due to the introduction of digitalization and automation of processes, the whole supply chain structure changes. However, digitization has also lead to disruptive changes that affect significantly supply chains and will continue triggering changes in the future. In order to understand the opportunities and possibly threats from the introduction of these new technologies, it is therefore important to analyze the impact of Industry 4.0 on the supply chain as a whole, highlighting the challenges, risks and opportunities in SCM as a consequence of digitization, as well as how Industry 4.0 impact on SCM and viceversa. Based on these premises, the aim of this track session is to host a selection of papers from researchers, academics, as well as practitioners providing significant insights in the context of SCM 4.0.<\/p>\nTopics may address, but are not limited to, the following key areas:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Advanced tracking and tracing technologies and applications in the supply chain context<\/li>\n \t<li>Analysis of diffusion and digital transformation in supply chains<\/li>\n \t<li>Concepts of data security for supply chain<\/li>\n \t<li>Effects of Digitization &amp; automation on efficiency, effectiveness, flexibility in supply chains<\/li>\n \t<li>Effects of product and service virtualization on supply chain management<\/li>\n \t<li>Impacts of autonomous transportation technologies on supply chains<\/li>\n \t<li>Impacts of digitization on SC decision making, leadership practices, management principles<\/li>\n \t<li>Innovative smart services for supply chain management<\/li>\n \t<li>Innovative supply chain models based on big data analytics<\/li>\n \t<li>Internet of things (IoT) and its impact on supply chain management<\/li>\n \t<li>Maturity models for digital transformation of supply chain management<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-14340\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"40\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-14340\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">The Industrial Operator 4.0: Human-Technology Integration and Collaboration<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-14340\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"40\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-14340\"><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><b>Chair:<\/b> <sup>(a)<\/sup>Francesco Longo, <sup>(a)<\/sup>Antonio Padovano, <sup>(b)<\/sup>David Romero, <sup>(c)<\/sup>Johan Stahre, <sup>(d)<\/sup>Thorsten Wuest<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><b>Affiliation: <\/b><sup>(a)<\/sup><em>DIMEG, University of Calabria (Italy), <\/em><sup>(b)<\/sup><em>Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey (Mexico)<\/em>, <sup>(c)<\/sup><em>Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden)<\/em>, <sup>(d)<\/sup><em>West Virginia University (USA)<\/em><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><b>Track Description:<\/b><br \/>While the Industry 4.0 is idolizing the potential of an artificial intelligence embedded into &#8220;things&#8221;, it is neglecting the role of the human component which is still indispensable in different manufacturing activities. The 4th Industrial Revolution is inevitably changing not only what the human operators do and how they do it, but also who they are. After generations of operators that keep pace with the first three industrial revolutions, the Operator 4.0 (O4.0) came up as a new concept in the Industry 4.0 framework. Since debate around the O4.0 is still emerging, the definitions and applications that can be found in the recent literature are neither yet completely comprehensive nor exhaustive but represent good starting points for discussion. This track focuses on human-technology integration and collaboration aiming at demonstrating new ways factory workers and robots, automation, and artificial intelligence can operate in harmony to increase productivity, quality, and performance on the shop floor as well as work satisfaction and safety in the workforce.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-14341\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"41\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-14341\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">The Industry of the Future: Challenges and Opportunities in the Evolution of the Operator's Role<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-14341\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"41\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-14341\"><b>Chair:<\/b> <sup>(a)<\/sup>Valentina Di Pasquale, <sup>(b)<\/sup>Valentina De Simone, <sup>(c)<\/sup>Mario Caterino, <sup>(d)<\/sup>Marta Rinaldi\n<br><b>Affiliation: <\/b><sup>(a)(b)(d)<\/sup><em>Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Salerno (Italy), <\/em><sup>(c)<\/sup><em>University of Campania &#8220;Luigi Vanvitelli&#8221;<\/em><br>\n<b>Track Description:<\/b> The industry of the future, driven by continuous technological advancements while integrating sustainability, innovation, and collaboration across the entire manufacturing ecosystem, is transforming industries into interconnected, and hyper-intelligent factories, significantly impacting the workplace.

Within logistics networks, warehouses stand as crucial and complex nodes, addressing demand variability, combining orders for delivery optimization, and providing value-added services while meeting efficiency and service level targets.\tNew opportunities, such as Logistics 4.0, have emerged to face increased complexity and challenging targets. Besides, the search for improved sustainability has come into play according to the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) perspective, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN.  Further directions towards resilience and human centricity have been provided by the EU with the new Industry 5.0 concept which aims at extending the concept of Industry 4.0 by considering, besides economic and technological factors, also environmental and social dimensions, thus giving a central role to human workers and their well-being. These aspects have led companies to explore smarter and more sustainable approaches and applications at their warehouses. Sustainable and human centered warehousing practices should help reduce environmental impacts, improve employee well-being, and achieve economic benefits for industrial and\/or logistics companies. In this context, 4.0 technologies play a central role being able to facilitate the development of interconnected, automated, and decentralized logistics systems. Moreover, the use of 4.0 technologies could speed up the transition towards more sustainable and resilient warehousing processes and pave the way for potential opportunities by overcoming the environmental, social, and economic challenges. This track encourages researchers from several fields to submit contributions analyzing and highlighting the challenges, benefits, and potential opportunities of adopting sustainable warehousing practices in the evolution towards Warehousing 5.0.

It is an essential step towards the circular economy and industrial 5.0 for more distributed, diverse, inclusive, and resilient manufacturing processes. By sharing data, software, and services, manufacturers could access distributed providers to implement their personalized manufacturing processes. Meanwhile, 6G is envisioned to unleash the potential of smart connectivity for secure, resilient and sustainable development of future distributed systems. We believe MaaS will be the frontier of the vision that will be empowered by 6G. By combining the 6G and MaaS, a new framework to deliver the Green Deal and Industry 5.0 will be enabled from innovative business ecosystems, value chains, and supply chains. The session is designed to discuss and promote digital skills, use cases and the ecosystems of 6G enabled MaaS by steering digital transitions through human-centred technologies and innovations. Furthermore, the session will include experiences learned from various use cases applied across cyber physical systems and the required physical and virtualized infrastructure that enhance sharing, reusing, re-manufacturing, re-sale, and recycling for products based on the potential. Finally, the session will also discuss how to scale 6G technology into MaaS seamlessly by integrating Cloud computing and communication concepts into native manufacturing processes and how various
