15th International Workshop on Service-Oriented, Holonic and Multi-Agent Manufacturing Systems for Industry of the Future (SOHOMA2025)

About the workshop

It is our pleasure to invite you to the 15th International Workshop on Service-Oriented, Holonic and Multi-Agent Manufacturing Systems for Industry of the Future (SOHOMA2025), organized by the Arts et Metiers Institute of Technology of Aix-en-Provence (France), in collaboration with Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) - University of Cambridge, l’Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (LAMIH - Laboratory of Industrial and Human Automation Control, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science) and Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (CeDRI - Research Centre in Digitalization and Intelligent Robotics).

Aix-en-Provence center

The main objective of SOHOMA workshops is to foster innovation in smart and sustainable manufacturing and logistics systems and in this context to promote concepts, methods, and solutions for the digital transformation of manufacturing through service orientation in holonic and agent-based control with distributed intelligence.

SOHOMA 2025 workshop will take place in Aix-en-Provence, France, at the Arts et Metiers Institute of Technology (ENSAM) on October 2 - 3, 2025.

Workshop Theme

The theme of the SOHOMA 2025 Workshop is “Collaborative and Autonomous Manufacturing Ecosystems for Industry of the Future”. In this edition, the workshop will focus on how new technologies can contribute to the emergence of collaborative and autonomous manufacturing ecosystems that serve the Industry of the Future principles of human-centricity, resilience and sustainability.

This edition maintains the traditional focus on holonic manufacturing control, multi-agent systems and cloud services for the Industry of the Future. The workshop will draw on research developed in the following research axes:

IT and OT modeling techniques (digital twin, object orientation, agents, service-oriented architectures...) for automation systems
Holonic architectures and multi-agent frameworks for smart and sustainable industrial systems
Intelligent products, orders, and systems in industry
Collaborative intelligence, swarm technology and emergent behavior
Service orientation of control and management in the manufacturing value chain
Issues of agility, flexibility, security, safety, resilience and reconfigurability in industrial systems
Machine learning techniques for predicting behaviors, evolutions, anomalies and unexpected events in manufacturing processes and resources.
Cyber-Physical Production Systems and Industrial IoT implementations for Industry 4.0/5.0

Among the applications, SOHOMA2025 will address aspects of industrial systems management, such as:

Machine learning techniques to predict behaviors, evolutions, unexpected events and to detect anomalies in manufacturing processes and resources.
Cyber-Physical Production Systems and Industrial IoT for Industry 4.0/5.0.
Control and management of production, supply chain, logistics, transportation, after-sales services.
Industrial customer and after-sale services and maintenance operations.
Digital twins, simulation and Asset Administration Shell for engineering and operation of manufacturing systems and cross-enterprise data and information sharing

In this sense, SOHOMA2025 will provide a remarkable opportunity for graduate students, academics, and industry to discuss future research directions and the development of technological enablers for a data-driven Industry of the Future. Papers that present solutions based on these technologies for new applications in the manufacturing value chain at the confluence of information technology and automation are especially welcome. All papers must demonstrate alignment with the workshop theme.
