FIREMAN is organizing a Special Session (SS) on Communication and Networking Algorithms for Cyber-Physical Systems in Industry 4.0, co-located with the IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications 2021 (PIMRC '21).

This is the second version of this SS after the successful completion of its first version at PIMRC '20 (detailed information can be found in link 1, link 2).

This SS's utmost goal is to strengthen the still weak link between specialists in communications and the actual industrial communication needs, indicating more efficient solutions.
