Invited Speakers of TMCE 2014

At the very beginning of 2013, the Program Committee started to invite internationally outstanding scientists, managers and experts for keynote presentations, Industrial tutorials and Acadamic workshops. Each keynote speaker will give a comprehensive overview of a particular knowledge domain of competitive engineering, from the perspective of cyber-physical systems. Industrial tutorials have been very successful in the past years since they disseminated cutting-edge knowledge for industrial researchers and practitioners.

Industrial Tutorial Speakers

As in the past, the Program Committee intends to organize four tracks of industrial tutorial presentations for 19th May, 2014. Hopefully, having all tutorials on one day will make it possible for industrial participants to visit the Symposium, and taking part in a number of tutorials will allow them to collect the latest knowledge that is interesting for them and for their company.
