Special Issue on: "Progress in Machining for Industry 4.0"

Guest Editor:
Prof. J. Paulo Davim, University of Aveiro, Portugal

The word "Industry 4.0" was created from a high-tech project to encourage of the computerisation in manufacturing. Industry 4.0 aims to establish "smart manufacturing" with “modular structures, cyber-physical systems that monitor physical processes, create virtual copies of the physical world, and make decentralized decisions”. This special issue focused on machining for Industry 4.0 invites the submission of high quality research articles related to theory, practice and applications.

Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include, but are not limited, to the following:

• Intelligent machining
• Computational intelligence techniques
• Multiobjective optimisation
• Modelling and simulation
• e-manufacturing
• Cloud-based machining systems
• Environmentally friendly machining
• Quality control and machining
• Machining with robots
• Computer vision and machining
