The 2010 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC 2010) provides an international forum that brings together those actively involved in areas of interest to the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, to report on up-to-the-minute innovations and developments, to summarize the state-of-the-art, and to exchange ideas and advances in all aspects of systems science and engineering, human machine systems, and cybernetics. For this purpose, contributions covering theoretical developments and practical applications, including but not limited to the technical areas listed in the table below are invited.
For 2010, the theme of the conference is chosen as:

Intelligent Systems for a Safe and Secure World

Our quality of life heavily depends on the reliable operation of large-scale critical infrastructures, such as electric power systems, telecommunication networks, and water distribution networks. The design, monitoring, control and security of such systems, as well as their management, are becoming increasingly more challenging as their size, complexity and interactions are steadily growing. These challenges can only be met with appropriate advances in Systems Science and Engineering, Human-Machine Systems, and Cybernetics. Papers related to this conference theme are especially solicited, including theories, methodologies and applications.
