Scheduling in Industry 4.0 and Cloud Manufacturing
Résumé
This book has resulted from the activities of IFAC TC 5.2 “Manufacturing Modelling for
Management and Control”. The book offers an introduction and advanced techniques of
scheduling applications to cloud manufacturing and Industry 4.0 systems for larger audience.
This book uncovers fundamental principles and recent developments in the theory and
application of scheduling methodology to cloud manufacturing and Industry 4.0. The purpose
of this book is to present recent developments in scheduling in cloud manufacturing and
Industry 4.0 and to systemize these developments in new taxonomies and methodological
principles to shape this new research domain. This book addresses the needs of both
researchers and practitioners to uncover the challenges and opportunities of scheduling
techniques’ applications to cloud manufacturing and Industry 4.0. For the first time, it
comprehensively conceptualizes scheduling in cloud manufacturing and Industry 4.0 systems
as a new research domain. The chapters of the book are written by the leading international
experts and utilize methods of operations research, industrial engineering and computer
science.
