**********************************************************************

The 9th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical
and Social Computing (CPSCom2016)

http://umc.uestc.edu.cn/conference/cybermatics2016/CPSCom2016/

Dec. 15th-18th, 2016, Chengdu, Sichuan, China

**********************************************************************

As an emerging cross-disciplinary research area, the Cyber Physical System
(CPS) is attracting attention worldwide. A Cyber-Physical System is a
system featuring a combination of computational and physical elements, all
of which are capable of interacting, reflecting and influencing each other.
Furthermore, social systems are evolving with cyber systems and physical
systems along with the popularity of online/mobile social networking. With
the advent of ubiquitous sensing and networking, future social networks
turn into cyber-physical interactions, which are attached with associated
social attributes.
The emergence of the cyber-physical-social computing (CPSCom) will
significantly change the way we watch the world. Meanwhile, the convergence
of the cyber, physical, and social spaces will exhibit a variety of
complicated characteristics, which brings more open issues and challenges
for research communities.


The goal of this symposium is to promote community-wide discussion
identifying the Computational Intelligence technologies and theories for
Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing. We seek submissions of papers which
invent new techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research
directions and discuss approaches for unsolved issues.

CPSCom 2016 will be held on 15-28 December 2016 in Chengdu, Sichuan, China,
co-located with GreenCom 2016, Smart Data 2016 and iThings 2016. It aims to
bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers, and researchers
to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel
designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting
ideas in the areas of dependability, security, trust and/or autonomic
computing systems. Topics of particular interests include the following
tracks, but are not limited to:


A.Wireless Sensing and Networking where intelligent entities exchange
information to achieve improved overall performance for both cyber and
physical components.
- sensor, vehicular, robot, camera, aerial and social smartphone networks
- smartphone/wearable sensing,
- non-intrusive sensing
- wireless networking technologies and opportunistic networks
- internet of things and machine-to-machine communications
- hybrid and complex networks for CPSCom
- scalability of complex networks


B. System Modeling and Control where mathematical and computational methods
are developed and applied to facilitate innovative design, in-depth
analysis, and novel insights of the fundamental principles of CPSCom.-
modeling of cyber-physical-social systems
- control theory with a clear cyber-physical tone
- autonomy with apps in mobile sensor networks, internet connected cars,
robotics, etc.
- resource-constrained systems (low power, energizing, device
miniaturization)
- real-time systems and distributed computing
- generic framework and middleware for cyber-physical-social systems



C. Data-Driven Cyber-Physical-Social Systems where novel methods are
developed to reliably gather, store, transfer, and analyze large amount of
data and dataflow.- cyber-physical-social data model
- data management and data mining
- big data intelligence
- social and community intelligence
- crowd computing models
- pervasive and ubiquitous computing
- fusion/integration of data from cyber-physical-social spaces



D. Novel Applications and Services where novel designs and implementations
of test-beds, platforms, and apps will significantly improve the speed,
efficiency, and reliability of next generation CPSCom.
- smart city and urban computing
- smartphone and wearable apps
- personalization and social network apps
- intelligent transportation systems
- internet of robotics and intelligent industry
- healthcare and well-being
- big-data-driven apps
- business intelligence

E. Emerging Research Areas where new challenges and new ideas are shaping
- security, trust, and privacy issues in CPSCom
- social impacts of CPSCom
- cross-space sensing and computing
- human-in-the-loop systems
