Emerging Paradigms and Architectures for Industry 5.0 Applications: Special Issue. Appl. Sci. 2022, 12, 10065. https://doi.org/10.3390/app1219100652076-3417http://hdl.handle.net/2183/32236After the success of the first Special Issue on “Emerging Paradigms and Architectures for Industry 4.0 Applications” [1], a new Special Issue was launched to update the approach followed by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), with the primary goal of fostering the path towards the Fifth Industrial Revolution (5IR), known as “Industry 5.0” in Europe. In this second edition, this Special Issue collected papers that aim at reporting the latest advances in architectures, paradigms, and applications in the ever-increasing complex ecosystem of green smart manufacturing. A total of five papers (two research papers and three review papers) were presented in this Special Issue, related to various Industry5.0 related areas, like Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies, power management, IIoT, CPSs, or blockchain.engAtribución 3.0 España© 2022 by the authors.
