                   CALL FOR PAPERS


The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical

             and Social Computing (CPSCom 2013)


        http://www.china-iot.net/cpscom2013.htm


           Beijing, China, August 20-23, 2013


=========================================================



INTRODUCTION


As an emerging cross-disciplinary research area, the Cyber Physical 
System (CPS) is attracting attention worldwide. A Cyber-Physical Systems 
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 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 will significantly 
change the way we see the world. In the mean time, the convergence of 
the physical, cyber, and social spaces will exhibit a variety of 
complicated characteristics, which brings more open issues and 
challenges for

research communities.


The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social 
Computing (CPSCom 2013) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum 
for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art 
advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, 
infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as 
well as to

identify emerging research topics and define the future. CPSCom 2013 is 
the 6th edition of the successful series, previously held as CPSCom 2012 
(Besançon, France), CPSCom 2011 (Dalian, China), CPSCom 2010 (Hangzhou, 
China), CyberSocialCom 2009 (Hangzhou, China), and CPSC 2009 (Brisbane, 
Australia).

===================


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


Track 1: Cyber-physical Systems and Society


Track 2: Social Computing


Track 3: Pervasive/Ubiquitous Control, Computing and Networking


Track 4: Sensor/Actuator Networks


Track 5: Security, Trustworthiness and Privacy


Track 6: Applications and Services


Track 7: Cloud Computing and Data Mining



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

=====================

Authors are invited to submit original papers that MUST NOT have been 
submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal. 
Full Papers (up to 8 pages) and Short Papers (up to 4 pages) are 
solicited. Detailed submission instructions could be found on the 
conference website http://www.china-iot.net/CPSCom_submission.htm. All 
papers

will be reviewed by the Program Committee for significance, originality, 
accuracy, and clarity.


PAPER PUBLICATIONS

==================

Each submission should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the paper 
is accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference to 
present the work in order for the paper to be included in the IEEE 
Digital Library. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of 
CPSCom 2013 by IEEE Computer Society (EI indexed). Extended versions of 
selected papers will be considered for publication in several SCI-index 
international journals (check http://www.china-iot.net/CPSCom_issues.htm 
for details).


WORKSHOPS

=========

Submit a workshop paper to one of the workshops.  Workshop proceedings 
will be published by IEEE CS Press. Workshops with more than 15 papers 
will be granted with a free complimentary registration for the leading 
workshop organizer. See the list of workshops and CFP at
