Lecture 14. Reflection on Information Technologies for Sustainable Industries

With the development of various enabling technologies, e.g., AI, 5G and beyond, industry security, digital twin, global coverage and edge computing, the digitalization of industries has attracted lots of research efforts and started to be deployed in various industry scenarios. Though some courses may involve a part of those topics, a comprehensive and vertical-application oriential course have not been developed. Moreover, a systematic study on requirements, challenges and development of information technologies for industry digitalization has not been developed yet. This course aims to address these problems by developing systematic and vertical-application oriented course for industry digitalization. The main objectives of the course are to train the students on the key information technologies for industry digital transformation and to inspire the students for potential new research topics. After the course, the students should: 

1. Know an overview of and the technical requirements for industry digitalization.
2. Know the information technologies for sustainable industries. 
3. Understand key requirements and enabling technologies of information technologies (both theories and practices) for industry digitalization, including e.g., wireless networks, AI, security, digital twin and global coverage etc.
4. Understand how the information technologies are applied in vertical use cases for industry digitalization.
5. Understand recent development and existing challenges of information technologies for industry digitalization.
