Special Issue on Smart Computing and Cyber Technology for Cyberization

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aims and Scope

Following the well-known concepts of computerization and informatization, an emerging era of cyberization, which is considered as a reformation of the present physical, social and mental worlds, has become a hotly discussed trend in the new cyber world. During the cyberization process, a large number of real things will conjugatively map to various kinds and levels of cyber existence in cyber world. It is said that cyberization has already taken place in a variety of fields along with the development of several emerging computing paradigms and information communication technologies, such as ubiquitous/pervasive computing, social computing and networking, and wearable technologies, etc. Specifically, with the rapid growth of Internet of Things and cognitive cyber-physical systems, more and more digital things or cyber entities, are engaged or generated in the integrated cyber world. Emerging technologies in smart environments, such as smart computing and smart objects, become very significant, promising, and enabling issues in cyberization, to enhance the efficiency of sensing, processing, and communication in the conjugations of physical, social and mental worlds. Accordingly, the cyber technology is playing an important role in developing effective methods of resource management, data acquisition, and pattern recognition across cyber-related systems and applications. All these provide us opportunities to explore smart computing methodologies and computational intelligence algorithms, in order to facilitate the cyberization process in cyber world.

This special issue on Smart Computing and Cyber Technology for Cyberization aims at bringing together researchers and engineers from both academia and industry to present physical concepts, calculation methods, application possibilities, and new opportunities with respect to the development of cyber-related information and communication technologies. In particular, this special issue will have a great significance and profound impact on: i) providing various opportunities in studying cyber and cyber-conjugated things which are necessary for the cyber-enabled new worlds; ii) organizing the body of knowledge in cyber-related studies and applications with comprehensive frameworks in inter-, trans- and multi-discipline fields; iii) enhancing numerous cyber technologies not only in fundamental research works, but also in application system development; and iv) offering a common platform for researchers to gather many existing cyber-related research areas together, to identify and form promising new frontiers.
