2nd ECML/PKDD 2020 Workshop on
IoT Streams for Data-Driven Predictive Maintenance

ECML-PKDD 2020, September 14 –18, 2020, Ghent-Belgium
abifet.wixsite.com/iotstream2020
——————————————————- Motivation and focus
Maintenance is a critical issue in the industrial context for preventing high costs and injuries. Various industries are moving more and more toward digitalization and collecting “big data” to enable or improve the accuracy of their predictions. At the same time, the emerging technologies of Industry 4.0 empowered data production and exchange, which leads to new concepts and methodologies for the exploitation of large datasets in maintenance. The intensive research effort in data-driven Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is producing encouraging results. Therefore, the main objective of this workshop is to raise awareness of research trends and promote interdisciplinary discussion in this field.
Data-driven predictive maintenance must deal with big streaming data and handle concept drift due to both changing external conditions, but also normal wear of the equipment. It requires combining multiple data sources, and the resulting datasets are often highly imbalanced. The knowledge about the systems is detailed, but in many scenarios, there is a large diversity in both model configurations, as well as their usage, additionally complicated by low data quality and high uncertainty in the labels. In particular, many recent advancements in supervised and unsupervised machine learning, representation learning, anomaly detection, visual analytics and similar areas can be showcased in this domain. Therefore, the overlap in research between machine learning and predictive maintenance continues to increase in recent years.
This event is an opportunity to bridge researchers and engineers to discuss emerging topics and key trends. The previous edition of the workshop at ECML 2019 has been very popular, and we are planning to continue this success in 2020.
———————————————————- Aim and scope
This workshop welcomes research papers using Data Mining and Machine Learning (Artificial Intelligence in general) to address the challenges and answer questions related to the problem of predictive maintenance. For example, when to perform maintenance actions, how to estimate components current and future status, which data should be used, what decision support tools should be developed for prognostic, how to improve the estimation accuracy of remaining useful life, and similar. It solicits original work, already completed or in progress. Position papers will also be considered. The scope of the workshop covers, but is not limited to, the following:
* Predictive and Prescriptive Maintenance
* Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD)
* Fault Isolation and Identification
* Anomaly Detection (AD)
* Estimation of Remaining Useful Life of Components, Machines, etc.
* Forecasting of Product and Process Quality
* Early Failure and Anomaly Detection and Analysis
* Automatic Process Optimization
* Self-healing and Self-correction
* Incremental and evolving (data-driven and hybrid) models for FDD and AD
* Self-adaptive time-series based models for prognostics and forecasting
* Adaptive signal processing techniques for FDD and forecasting
* Concept Drift issues in dynamic predictive maintenance systems
* Active learning and Design of Experiment (DoE) in dynamic predictive maintenance
* Industrial process monitoring and modelling
* Maintenance scheduling and on-demand maintenance planning
* Visual analytics and interactive Machine Learning
* Analysis of usage patterns
* Explainable AI for predictive maintenance
* …

It covers real-world applications such as:

Summer School on Machine Learning and Big Data with Quantum Computing (SMBQ 2020)
Porto, Portugal, September 7-8, 2020
#####################################
Machine Learning (ML) is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) branch, that focuses on developing algorithms to teach how computers learn from data to make decisions or predictions. Deep Learning (DL) is part of a broader family of ML algorithms, that is based on artificial neural networks. Arguably, DL techniques demand for big amounts of data and, as such, they require huge computational resources and advanced processing techniques.
Cloud Computing is a well-known alternative to deal with big amounts of data, since its elasticity allows for an efficient scalability of huge computational resources, such as, data storage and processing power. On the other hand, Quantum Computing is an advanced processing technique, that uses the fundamentals of quantum mechanics to accelerate the process of solving highly complex problems.
SMBQ 2020 addresses the current trends in AI and in the computational techniques that deal with big data demands, together with, a powerful processing technique that will shape the future of computation.
During 2 days, from 7-8 September 2020, we will introduce concepts, discuss the current trends and provide direct practical experience in hands-on lessons.

Call for Papers
SoGood 2020 – 5th Workshop on Data Science for Social Good Affiliated with ECML-PKDD 2020, 14-18 September 2020,https://ecmlpkdd2020.net/
Workshop site:https://sites.google.com/view/ecmlpkddsogood2020/
This is the fifth edition of the workshop; the previous workshops were held jointly with ECML-PKDD 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019
The possibilities of Data Science for contributing to social, common, or public good are often not sufficiently perceived by the public at large. Data Science applications are already helping in serving people at the bottom of the economic pyramid, aiding people with special needs, helping international cooperation, and dealing with environmental problems, disasters, and climate change. In regular conferences and journals, papers on these topics are often scattered among sessions with names that hide their common nature (such as “Social networks”, “Predictive models” or the catch-all term “Applications”). Additionally, such forums tend to have a strong bias for papers that are novel in the strictly technical sense (new algorithms, new kinds of data analysis, new technologies) rather than novel in terms of social impact of the application.
This workshop aims to attract papers presenting applications of Data Science for Social Good (which may, or may not require new methods), or applications that take into account social aspects of Data Science methods and techniques. There are numerous application domains, a non-exclusive list includes:
* Government transparency and IT against corruption * Public safety and disaster relief * Public policies in epidemic growth and related issues * Access to food, water and utilities * Efficiency and sustainability * Data journalism * Economic, social and personal development * Transportation * Energy * Smart city services * Education * Social services, unemployment and homelessness * Healthcare * Ethical issues, fairness and accountability * Trustability and interpretability * Topics aligned with the UN development goals: www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/
The major selection criteria will be the novelty of the application and its social impact.
We are also interested in applications that have built a successful business model and are able to sustain themselves economically. Most Social Good applications have been carried out by non-profit and charity organisations, conveying the idea that Social Good is a luxury that only societies with a surplus can afford. We would like to hear from successful projects, which may not be strictly “non-profit” but have Social Good as their main focus.
There will be an award for the best paper.
Paper submission: Authors should submit a PDF version in Springer LNCS style using the workshop EasyChair site:https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sogood2020. The maximum length of papers is 16 pages, consistent with the ECML PKDD conference submissions.
Submitting a paper to the workshop means that if the paper is accepted, at least one author will attend the workshop and present the paper. Papers not presented at the workshop will not be included in the proceedings.
In light of COVID-19, we will follow ECML PKDD’s policy for attendance and presentation (face-to-face, virtual or hybrid). ECML PKDD is considering contingency plans and will announce its final decision before the early registration deadline (second half of July).
Paper publication: The proceedings of the workshop will be published either by Springer as a Lecture Notes volume or by CEUR in their workshop proceedings series (ceur-ws.org/). Selected workshop papers will be invited for extension and submission to a special journal issue.
Workshop format: * Full-day workshop * 1-2 keynote talks, speakers to be announced * Oral presentation of accepted papers * Panel discussion with the audience
Important Dates: * Workshop paper submission deadline: June 11, 2020 * Workshop paper acceptance notification: July 2, 2020 * Workshop paper camera-ready deadline: July 16, 2020 * Workshop: September 14 or 18, 2020 (TBC)
