IEEE International Conference on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) is to provide a platform to exchange research and innovation results, lessons learned from industrial practices associated with new paradigms and technologies. ICPS 2020 is going to be the conference series presenting the state of the art and future perspectives of Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems. The industry experts, researchers, and academics share ideas and experiences surrounding frontier technologies, breakthrough and innovative solutions and applications. The world’s industry, researchers and academia are cordially invited to participate in this exciting event and enjoy the wonderful city of Tampere.

A number of Special Sections in leading IEEE Journals such as TII, OJIES and JESTIE, elaborating conference topics will be generated after the event. Authors of accepted papers, with a high review grade, will be invited to submit an improved/modified version of their papers for further consideration.
