NODES - Spoke 5 supports the ''Open Factories Piemonte" initiative thanks to the partnership with bioPmed.   Spoke 5 is pleased to announce its support for the initiative "Open Factories Piemonte", promoted and organized by Regione Piemonte which will take place in October - Thursday 24th, Friday 25 and Saturday 26th. This event, now in its fifth edition, is an extraordinary opportunity for the public to visit the places of industrial production in Piedmont.  Over the years, "Open Factories Piemonte" has attracted over 21.500 visitors, offering direct experience in the manufacturing processes of the participating companies. This event not onlu promotes transparency and openness of industries but also strengthens the link between business and the local community.    The partnership between Spoke 5 and bioPmed is fundamental to support this initiatives, which aims to enhance innovation and excellence in the Piedmontese industrial sector and it contributes to promote the economic and technological development of the region by facilitating access to its facilities and production processes.  Interested companiesare invited to participate at "Open Factories Piemonte" opening the doors of their factories to share the history, their sussesses and their industrial practices with the public.    Expression of interest must be submitted by July 20th, 2024, through the form available on  https://lnkd.in/dAFv8PEa.   This is a unique opportunity for Piedmontese companies to show their innovation and commitment to industrial transparency.

WOA “From Objects to Agents” is an international workshop in the IT field which, every year, serves as a forum for Italian and international researchers and professionals working on all aspects of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems (MAS). The conference has reached its 25th edition, which will be celebrated in 2024, at the Forte di Bard (AO) from 8 to 10 July 2024. It is an event typically appreciated by young researchers for its constructive and interactive environment. Multi-agent systems are computing structures composed of multiple autonomous agents that interact with each other and with their surroundings to achieve specific objectives.   Following the considerable interest that all aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are recently obtaining, and the specific relevance of the topic also within the “Smart West” flagship project, as part of the NODES – Spoke 4 project, the 2024 edition of the workshop will focus on the theme Smart and Agile Agent Technologies for a Sustainable Model of Distributed Working.   Specifically, the COVID-19 pandemic has acted as an accelerator in the digitalization process of small-medium enterprises and public administrations, promoting new forms of hybrid/remote work. This requires the design and implementation of new processes and adequate technological infrastructures to address new challenges, including, but not limited to, the transformation of leadership and control, the shift towards a goal-oriented work organization (due of a reduction in the difference between employed and self-employed workers), the reduction of informal in-person interactions, the need for support to find an adequate work/life balance, the worker's well-being, his safety, and his lifelong learning. The systems and technologies developed in the field of agents and multi-agent systems can provide fundamental support in creating a new and sustainable working model at multiple levels: economic, but also technological, environmental and social, with particular reference to the peculiarities of mountain territories.   During the workshop, thematic sessions will be organized (keynote talks, panel discussions) specifically focused on the challenges of remote/hybrid working in a mountain environment, and on the solutions made available by research on agents and multi-agent systems. There will also be a moment of discussion with local stakeholders, in order to involve them and identify which technological tools can best respond to their needs.   Among the topics of interest identified for this edition it is possible to highlight:      Agent-oriented software engineering      Agents and sensor networks      Agent-based modeling and simulation      Business process management      Compliance      Hardware and software infrastructures for agents and multi-agent systems      Industrial applications of agents and MAS      Next generation socio-technical systems      Agent-based enabling technologies      Intelligent tools and devices for smart collaboration      AI-supported models and tools for remote working      Digital and Sustainable Mountain      Multi-agent systems for remote working in mountainous territories

Spoke 1, Aerospace and Sustainable Mobility meets on June 19, 2024 to find new ideas and new synergies among the many actors involved in the project. In fact, Politecnico di Torino and its partners are organizing a meeting where industry and academia will meet to present the progress and results achieved by the different Spoke projects. Thanks to the presentations of the various R&I activities, i.e., flagship projects and Proof of Concepts, both industrial and academic, and the wide space given to the discussion, the Spoke 1 actors will be able to identify synergies and contact points useful to fully exploit the great expertise gathered in the Spoke. In addition to several informal moments, the event will feature three discussion tables, organized by theme, Aerospace, Electric Mobility and Hydrogen. The event is reserved for partners, researchers and companies in NODES Spoke 1.     Agenda and registration     picture by Diego PH on Unsplash
