Current Research Topics in Industry 4.0 and an Analysis ofProminent Architectural Frameworks

2017-10-17
Industry 4.0 sets new goals for manufacturing and impacts business outcomes. In the near future, ordinary plants will transform into smart factories in order to stay competitive in the marketplace. This transition has already started as manufacturing industry increasingly adopts advancing technologies including Internet of Things, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and Machine Learning. After presenting motivations and the enabler technology stack behind the nextindustrial revolution, this paper comprehensively classifies and introduces ongoing research activities to reach the goals of Industry 4.0. Then it investigates the prominent architectures which provide higher level abstractions and integrations from the perspectives of enabler technologies and introduced research fields. Accordingly, discussions are provided regarding whether prominent architectures are adequate to comprehensively address the needs of Industry 4.0.

Construction industry necessitates formulating impeccable plans by decision makers for securing optimal outcomes. Managers often face the challenge of compromising between diverse and usually conflicting objectives. Particularly, accurate decisions on the time and cost must be made in every construction project since project success is chiefly related to these objectives. This is realized by addressing the time-cost trade-off problem (TCTP) which is an optimization problem and its objective is to identify t...
