Abstract:  
We are in the 4th Industrial Revolution, also called I4.0, characterized by the deep digitalization of the industrial production and by the progressive diffusion of the additive manufacturing using new materials. Shot peening is rapidly changing and moving toward new applications, new quality paradigms, new machines and media. The 14th International Conference on Shot Peening (ICSP14) is the best place to present the latest achievements and discuss the next steps for shot peening and allied processes. The ICSP conference, due to the quality of the talks presented and the number of attendants, has become the most important conference on shot peening and allied processes such as cavitation peening, ultrasonic shot peening, laser shock peening and water jet peening. It is now the best-known forum on the science, technology, and applications of mechanical surface treatments. It offers a unique forum for scientists and engineers to deepen and update their knowledge on all aspects of mechanical surface treatments.
