Industry 4.0: The Power of Data

Luis R. Izquierdo is a Professor in Industrial Organization, with a background in Computer Modelling, Economics and Mathematics. His main area of expertise is Evolutionary Game Theory and the analysis of Complex Systems. Most of his research lies at the interface between Economics and Computer Science and it has led to the publication of more than 30 papers in journals such as Theoretical Economics, Journal of Economic Theory, Games and Economic Behavior, JASSS, and Journal of Evolutionary Economics. He is also an associate editor of the JCR journal JASSS. Finally, Luis is the author of more than 30 open-source computational programs, which are freely available online, together with comprehensive user guides. These programs are used by many scholars all around the world both for research and for teaching purposes.

José I. Santos Martín is an Associate Professor in Industrial Organization, with a background in Computer Modelling, Information Systems, and Economics. His main area of expertise is the modeling of Complex Systems. Most of his research focuses on the application of methods and techniques for the study of complex systems, mainly agent-based modeling, complex network theory, and also, machine learning techniques that facilitate the analysis of simulation models that generate large data sets. He has collaborated in more than 20 papers in journals such as PloS One, Scientific Reports, Royal Society Open Science, and Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation.

Juan J. Lavios is an Associate Professor in Industrial Organisation at the Higher Polytechnic School of Universidad de Burgos. His main research interests include distributed systems, coordination mechanisms, scheduling and multi-agent systems. He has taken part in several research projects regarding social and organizational modelling and production management: Multi-agent systems for the control of distributed job shop manufacturing systems (financed by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Competitiveness ) and simulation of human behaviour (SIMULPAST). In the last few years, he has been researching in sustainable production practices, with a focus on the automotive sector. As for educational innovation, he uses a wide range of methodologies to promote creativity and foster entrepreneurship.
