The Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems is celebrating its 10th
edition (DoCEIS 2019) with a focus on Technological Innovation for Industrial and Service Systems.
The industry and service sectors are going through profound transformation towards digitalization and
integration of new levels of “smartness”. The idea of a 4th industrial revolution, represented by terms
such as Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing and Economy 4.0 are an expression of such transformation.
This movement is characterized by an increasing digitalization and interconnection of systems, products,
value chains, and business models. The interconnection between the physical and the cyber worlds –
Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things – and the integration of the so-called “exponential
technologies”, are central features of this innovation trend.
