Real-time sensing brings the proliferation of big data (i.e., dynamic, nonlinear, nonstationary, high dimensional) in complex processes. Big Data presents a ‘gold mine’ of this era (21st century). Innovations in automation engineering in this century will be highly dominated by “new methods and tools” to mine the big data and harness its power for new products and problem solving. This invited session is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art methodological development and applications in the area of system informatics and control. Interested topics include (but not limited to):
Complex Systems Sensing, modeling and optimization Foundations of Data Mining and Statistical Learning Manufacturing System Informatics and Control Statistical Quality Control Integrated Nanomanufacturing and Nanoinformatics Informatics for Operations Research and Operations Management Intelligent Information Retrieval Visualization Methodology System Informatics and Decision Making System Informatics and Risk Management
