Call for Papers and Use Cases

The production domain is permeated by heterogeneous data sources, a variety of IT systems, and complex industrial use cases - aspects that offer a very exciting field for research. Modern production systems have a large number of sensors for monitoring industrial plants, which help to gain an insight into a system’s state. Sensors produce large data sets with intricate details, necessitating comprehensive preprocessing. This preprocessing includes mechanisms to reduce the data quantity, including temporal and qualitative reduction of data. For instance, colored images may be converted to black-and-white ones, and information needs to be enriched with metadata. We have to handle all of these dimensions to be able to define the data sets that are needed.

Despite the abundance of data and the consequent potential for optimization, current approaches for dealing with the complexity of production systems are often ad-hoc, or siloed—both across disparate domains and through varying layers of information architecture, from machine-level execution systems to business processes. The primary goal of this workshop is to bring different research perspectives together and discuss use cases, needed modeling methods, and current research on modeling in (and for) production. We seek to explore a range of methods and tools, with a focus on their applicability for real-world production systems. Ultimately, this workshop strives to pave the way for a new generation of modeling tools and techniques that are capable of capturing the multi-faceted complexity of modern production environments, thereby enabling more informed decision-making processes and, in turn, elevating both productivity and sustainability.

Topics include the following but are not limited to:

The workshop will be held for the second time in the context of the Modellierung'24 conference in Potsdam, Germany.

Submission Formats

Author Guidelines and Submission

The submissions have to be formatted according to the LNI guidelines of the German Informatics Society. Submission language is English. The workshop is planned for a mainly German-speaking group of participants.

The papers will be peer-reviewed by the program committee and accepted publication will be published within the common workshop proceedings at the Digital Library of the German Informatics Society (subject to changes).
