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

The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social 
Computing (CPSCom 2013)
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).


SCOPE AND INTERESTS
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/cpscom2013.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 the website for details).


WORKSHOP PROPOSAL
Submit a workshop proposal including call-for-papers, organizing 
committee, important dates, short bio of the organizers to the CPSCom 
2013 workshop chairs. 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.
