Note from the organizers
Dear ISSIP-ers and colleagues,
we are glad to invite you to the 2021 edition of the International Conference on Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing (ISM 2021 – http://www.msc-les.org/ism2021/) organized by the University of Calabria (Italy) in collaboration with the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences next 17-19 November 2021.
Having ISSIP as Scientific Partner, in the past editions (the last one was virtually held due to the pandemics), the ISM conference was not only an opportunity to meet and network, but also to discuss and exchange knowledge on the comprehensive topics of Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing. Thanks to B2B meetings open to academic people too, organized in collaboration with the European Enterprise Network, the conference was also an opportunity to meet and start new collaboration/partnerships with different companies around the globe.
From a scientific point of view, despite the pandemics, the conference has been growing rapidly. ISM 2021 proceedings are published on Elsevier Procedia Computer Science, while ISM 2020 proceedings are part of Elsevier Procedia Manufacturing. This publications give authors full exposure of their work, that is available on ScienceDirect, Open Access and indexed on SCOPUS. Also this year, we are renovating our partnership with Elsevier and organizing several Special Issues on top-ranked International Journals to give authors the possibility to extend the work. Therefore, we kindly invite you to submit an article to the ISM conference according to the guidelines available at http://www.msc-les.org/ism2021/call-for-papers/.
Among other initiatives, a Service Innovation Best Paper Award is assigned by ISSIP (Int. Society of Service Innovation Professionals) to the best paper presented at ISM dealing with promoting service innovation in industry and in our world by large. To this end, we thank Yassi Moghaddam and Jim Spohrer for serving in the Award Selection Committee and provide their valuable expertise to the conference.
Our team is strongly open to collaboration and teamwork, therefore we also invite you to join the International Program Committee, propose Open Tracks or Special Sessions on specific topics. Discover the benefits and opportunities at http://www.msc-les.org/ism2021/about/#topics or do not hesitate to contact us.
