Call for papers for special session on Cybermatics for Cyber-Enabled Systems, Technologies, and Applications (Cyber-ESTA)

Scope and topics
Cybermatics refers to the scientific and systematic study of new phenomena, behaviors, properties and practices in the rapidly emerging cyberspace and cyber-enabled worlds, including digital cyber world and cyber-conjugated physical, social and mental worlds. In this special session, we are interested in research on cyber-enabled systems, technologies, and applications (Cyber-ESTA). We are particulary interested in original research in the following four themes:
Theme 1: Cyber-Enabled Healthcare and Medical Systems
Theme 2: Cyber-Integrated Internet of Things
Theme 3: Cyber-Combined Smart Environment and Living
Theme 4: Cyber-Generated Intelligence and Life

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
• Cyber-Enabled Healthcare and Medical Systems
• Internet of Things (hardware design, self-organization, big data analytics)
• Smart home
• Smart matters
• Cyber mapping & representation of conventional physical, social and mental spaces
• Behavior analysis and modeling of social entities
• Context-aware sensing and decision making
• Human-cyber-physical interaction
• Novel social computing and analytics on cyber-physical data and systems
• Novel cyber-physical social applications and case studies
• Social aspects and services, societal impacts from cyber-physical systems
• Sensing, networking, and computing with smart phones and wearable devices
• Pervasive/ubiquitous control, computing and networking
• Reliability, security, privacy and trust for cyber-physical systems
