About the conference

INCOM 2021 , 7-9 June 2021 Budapest

Conference topic: Information control in the cyber-physical enterprise: technological breakthrough vs. cultural revolution

The cyber-physical era, frequently called the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), i.e. the intersection of the two worlds in an unprecedented extent – like in other fields – fundamentally influences the modelling, management and control of the production structures from the processes/machines through the manufacturing systems and enterprises to the level of production networks including logistics.

The expectations towards cyber-physical production and logistics systems are versatile and enormous: robustness, autonomy, self-organization, self-maintenance, self-repair, transparency, predictability, efficiency, interoperability, global tracking and tracing, only to name a few.

Though there are very important developments in cooperative control, multi-agent systems, complex adaptive systems, emergent systems, sensor networks, data mining, etc., even a partial fulfilment of these expectations represent real challenges for the research community. Information control, enhancing the utility of technologies for an effective management and organization of manufacturing resources, is a key issue for competitiveness. The symposium aims to provide a forum for exchanging knowledge, reviewing and discussing theoretical advances, research results, and industrial experiences in this exiting and highly relevant field.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to INCOM 2021!

Host institutes

SZTAKI & EPIC CoE

SZTAKI

SZTAKI, one of the former flagship institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, gained world-wide reputation in computer science, informatics and control, now belongs to the Eötvös Loránd Research Network.

The fundamental task of the Institute is to perform basic and application-oriented research in an interdisciplinary setting in the fields of computer science, engineering, information technology, intelligent systems, process control, wide-area networking and multimedia. Contract-based target research, development, training and expert support for domestic and foreign industrial, governmental and other partners are important activities at the Institute. 

EPIC CoE

The Centre of Excellence in Production Informatics and Control (EPIC CoE) was established with the objective to be a leading, internationally acknowledged and sustainable focus point in its field, representing excellence in research, development and innovation related to Cyber-Physical Production (CPP). The big challenges of the new technological era when information and communication technologies are fundamentally transforming and revolutionizing production will be responded by concentrating the multidisciplinary, partly overlapping, partly complementary competences of CoE partners from Hungary (SZTAKI, Budapest University of Tecnhology and Economics), Germany (Fraunhofer Germany IPA, IPK and IPT) and Austria (Fraunhofer Austria).
