IEEE Conference on Industrial Informatics
The IEEE Conference on Industrial Informatics is an annual technical meeting that brings together researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Tsinghua University, RWTH Aachen University, ETH Zurich and practitioners from Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation to discuss advances in automation, sensing, and control. It is attended by representatives of National University of Singapore, University of California, Berkeley, Tokyo Institute of Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and engineers from Bosch, General Electric, Honeywell who present peer-reviewed papers, tutorials, and workshops. The conference interfaces with standards bodies such as ISO, IEC, IEEE Standards Association and research funders like European Commission, National Science Foundation (United States), Japan Science and Technology Agency.
The inaugural meeting was organized under leaders from IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, Imperial College London, Nanyang Technological University and University of Manchester with contributions from delegations of Fraunhofer Society, CERN, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers technical committees. Early editions featured keynote speakers affiliated with Bell Labs, AT&T Labs Research, Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Honda Research Institute and panels including members of National Institute of Standards and Technology, CSIRO, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Over time the venue rotated through cities hosting IEEE Xplore indexed proceedings and collaborations with IFAC, ACM, SPIE and regional societies like IEE Japan and Society of Instrument and Control Engineers.
The conference scope covers topics spanning industrial control, Cyber-Physical Systems, Industrial Internet of Things, Smart Grid, Predictive Maintenance, Robotics, Machine Learning applications in industry and standards for interoperability. Sessions address cyber-physical integration exemplified by research from Carnegie Mellon University, University of Cambridge, Seoul National University, Peking University and industry case studies from Toyota Motor Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Airbus, Boeing. Workshops explore security and resilience with contributors from Microsoft Research, Google Research, Amazon Web Services, Intel Labs and collaborations with Open Process Automation Forum and OPC Foundation.
The conference is governed by steering committees composed of senior members from IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society and regional representatives from IEEE Region 1, IEEE Region 8, IEEE Region 10. Program committees include editors and reviewers affiliated with IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, Automatica, Control Engineering Practice and invited experts from Royal Society, Academia Europaea, National Academy of Engineering. Organizing chairs have historically been drawn from institutions such as Delft University of Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and industry partners like Siemens AG and Honeywell International.
Proceedings are published in IEEE Xplore and indexed by Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar; notable past venues include meetings in Berlin, Tokyo, Melbourne, Shanghai, Vancouver and collaborations with conferences like IFAC World Congress, ACM SIGCOMM, ICRA, ICML for cross-disciplinary tracks. Special sessions and tutorials have been co-located with events such as IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, IEEE International Conference on Communications, European Control Conference and joint workshops with World Congress on Engineering. Proceedings often cite foundational works by scholars from Princeton University, Cornell University, Harvard University, Yale University.
The conference confers best paper awards, best student paper awards and recognition by sponsors including IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and corporate partners like Schneider Electric, ABB Ltd, Siemens AG. Recipients have included researchers affiliated with National Taiwan University, University of Oxford, McGill University, EPFL and have gone on to receive honors from IEEE Fellow appointments, Royal Academy of Engineering elections and grants from European Research Council, DARPA, NSF.
Notable contributions presented include early industrial applications of deep learning from teams at Facebook AI Research and Google DeepMind applied to predictive maintenance, seminal cyber-physical systems frameworks from University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and resilient control techniques linking to standards work at IEC TC65 and ISO/IEC JTC 1. Papers on edge computing and real-time analytics influenced deployments by Siemens and General Electric and spurred follow-on research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Cross-disciplinary impact includes collaborations with MIT Media Lab, Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and policy dialogues involving European Commission DG CONNECT and United Nations Industrial Development Organization.
