This workshop is promoted by Produtech DIH, in the context of the Data Week 2022 co-organised by EUHubs4Data and BDVA, and will discuss the evolution of data management architectures, pointing to their characteristics and their role in data-driven information systems that support advanced data analytics environments. This includes the presentation of the Technology for Adaptive Data Analytics (TADA) concept, which uses Machine Learning and Metaheuristics for data-based decision support, and a general presentation describing common issues and challenges related to data management when deploying artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in manufacturing settings. The importance of data in industry and in smart grid applications will be discussed based on their opportunities and technological challenges.
