New challenges are coming up with the new generation of industry 4.0 with its economic constraints and new issues. This situation requires a though understanding of such issues so to train a new generation of engineers, scientists, and experts. New operational requirements in relation to big data technologies implementation must be considered. The industry future requires yet advanced innovative and efficient interdisciplinary solutions. Today, the manufacturing systems involve, more and more, interacting ubiquitous devices of robotics, mechatronics and software technologies of information and communication. Another big issue is the constantly increasing volumes of data produced by such devices embedding cyber-physics functions, essential for decision support. So, the new decision support tools must be reactive, with instantaneous information retrieval, in a more and more complex environment, while securing a comfortable place to human being. The service integration to the product or production system from its conception must, therefore, become systematic in order to anticipate all needs, better plan their downtimes, optimize the resources exploitation, and capitalize in a better way and value their knowledge.
The objectives consist to:
- promote awareness of the importance of cyber-manufacturing and cyber-mechatronic systems in the context of 4.0 industry,
- present advanced strategies and methods for modeling, simulation, control, optimization, performance analysis and management of cyber-manufacturing systems,
- foster views and knowledge exchanges between scientists and experts in industrial engineering, on the latest developments in advanced manufacturing, based on cyber-physical systems at the dawn of a new generation of industry,
- stimulate collaborations between academia and industry around joint projects to provide anticipated answers to the emerging problems of the new generation industry.
The development and efficient exploitation of the industry of the future include experts in engineering (mechanics, mechatronics, robotics, electro-mechanics, embedded electronics, cyber-physics), information and communication, human-computer and interactions interfaces, big data collection and analysis, decision support and system engineering,
The event is both scientific and industrial. It aims at bringing together researchers and industrial experts, to discuss recent innovations and trends in technology development and scientific research fields for the industry of the future.
The following audience is specifically targeted:
- Ph.D. and Master degree students
- Internationally renowned experts
- International scholars & researchers
- Software editors and information systems specialists
- Manufacturers and managers of industrial facilities
- Companies engaged in industrial 4.0 projects
- Engineers and R&D managers
ICMEM’2017 is the sixth edition of a triennial conference series initially organized by the Nanjing University of Sciences and Technologies.
The two latest being the 4th ICMEM’2011, 11-12 August 2011, Suzhou, China, the 5th ICMEM’2014, 20-22 August 2014, Yangzhou, China.
The current edition will take place in Metz, on October 29-31, 2017.
After the reception of the participants on October 29th afternoon, each of the ensuing half-day will start with an international expert invited keynote delivered in plenary session, followed by workshop sessions organized around the different topics.
Industry representatives will provide insights into the challenges and impacts of the industry 4.0 on the companies’ competitiveness. The approaches should take into account various performance requirements in decision-making at management level while taking into account environmental and economic constraints. Issues of strategic investments in both relevant technologies and methods to reach the desired targets of efficiency and profitability will also be considered.
A duly appointed international scientific committee will select the papers for presentation at the conference, in regular or in a poster session.
Industrial companies are invited to chair sessions where typical problems and case studies will be presented or exhibited during the conference. For that purposes, time slots will be specially set up to allow participants to visit the exhibitions. Also, SMEs will be invited to participate and learn about the technologies to be used for engaging in the transformation process toward the industry 4.0 and for increasing their competitiveness.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. All papers must be written in English and should describe original work. The length of the full paper is limited to a maximum of 8 pages. Extended abstracts of 3 to 4 pages will be considered for the papers selection phase.

Venue
The conference will be held in ENIM’s buildings, at 1 Rue d’Ars Laquenexy, Metz, from 29 to 31 October 2017. Metz has been chosen to organize this event for the first time in Europe because of the successful collaboration between ENIM and the University of Sciences and Technology of Nanjing. It should be noted that both partners have initiated in China the 8th Sino-French Engineering School of Nanjing. Also, it should be noted that LCOMS is the main scientific research lab partner of the event. Additional international scientific sponsors will be invited to support the event.
Metz is a beautiful town in northeastern France, wearing its many layers of history gracefully. Its original site was already fortified in 110 BC, by a Celtic tribe called the Mediomatrici. Now Metz is a modern city dotted with the new Pompidou Center, the Mettis and the TGV train allowing to reach Paris in 1h 22m.
