With the continuous popularization of artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and other new generation information technologies, the fields of smart manufacturing and service operations management are facing great changes in transforming to intelligence operating system; also, they have brought infinite possibilities for the industry, society, and even human development.
Against a background of big data, artificial intelligence has great potential in areas closely related to human life. It can develop modelling techniques to realize the collaboration of human and machine, improve the performance of complex system control for variable operations environment, and contribute to the optimal allocation of public service resources. The development of corresponding technologies such as smart production, intelligent healthcare, online education, smart transportation, signal processing, voice recognition, and brain-computer interface can help increase the efficiency of social operation. In addition, it can also optimize the use of resources through intelligent devices for health diagnosis, system controller design, energy supply structure optimization, consumption patterns and demand forecasting, etc. Despite the large amount of work in this emerging research area, there are still many open technical challenges, such as the acquisition and utilization of multimodal information, accurate predictive models, the integration of AI into traditional optimization methods and system optimization control. Thus, advanced theoretical and methodological support is still needed to address issues related to this research area.
AI technologies are gradually penetrating, influencing and changing the research paradigm in the fields related to information systems and operations management. To further meet the needs of industry change and economic development, this special issue invites papers on the intersection of artificial intelligence and management science technologies, and aims to promote their development of the cutting-edge effective applications in smart manufacturing, logistics, service operations management, system control, communications and automation, and other related promising directions.
Submissions to this special issue can be theoretical, methodological, computational or application-oriented which share technical and scientific findings and visions in the areas of smart manufacturing and service operations.
Topics of the special issue interests and focuses include, but not limited to
- New theories and methods of smart manufacturing and service operations management under the new generation of AI technology;
