The e-laboratory of the Complex System Digital Campus ‘4P Factory: the factory of the future’ held its third meeting on 21th November 2017. To foster the exchanges between academic and industry partners, it will this year welcome three different presentation types: ‘Breaking technology’ presentations, research papers, and research presentations.

This year’s edition will focus on the Engineering of Complex Systems. Complex system engineering encompasses:

• Integration and individual pieces of technical complex systems, from photonics to mechanical, mechatronics, electronics and computing systems
• Engineering of bio- and bio-inspired-systems, through bio-mimetism, synthetic biology, bio-inspired algorithms
• Methods for system modeling and management of complex environments of 4P Factories

Communications can be proposed through presentation only, or through the submission of a research or technical paper. The papers will be peer-reviewed according the the CS-DC collaborative review process, and published as research or technical paper:
