Ten years of SOHOMA Workshop Proceedings: A Bibliometric Analysis and Leading Trends

The SOHOMA Workshop series on Service Orientation in Holonic and Multi-Agent Manufacturing is a set of events aiming at fostering innovative research and practices in smart and sustainable manufacturing and logistics systems. The SOHOMA scientific community promotes the development of theories, methods, solutions, proof of concepts and implementations for the digital transformation of the industry of the future through intelligence distribution in service-oriented, holonic and agent-based systems. During ten editions, the workshops have gathered hundreds of researchers and practitioners that have presented their world-wide scientific contributions, published in the Springer book series “Studies in Computational Intelligence”. This paper presents an overview of the publication of the SOHOMA workshop proceedings by using a bibliometric analysis and identifies leading research and innovation trends generated by the SOHOMA community in the last ten years.
