                                 CPSCom 2012
 The 5th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing

                              http://cpscom.univ-fcomte.fr/
                   Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE CS, and IEEE TCSC
                      November 20-23, 2012, Besancon, France

                             in conjunction with
   iThings 2012: The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. INTRODUCTION

The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live 
in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new 
infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have 
changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber 
aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics 
that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely 
known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. 
With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become 
cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The 
convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social 
behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a 
lot of challenges.

The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing 
(CPSCom 2012) 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 2015 is the 5th edition of the successful series, 
previously held as CPSCom 2011 (Dalian, China, October 2011), CPSCom 2010 
(Hangzhou, China, December 2010), CyberSocialCom 2009 (Hangzhou, China, 
November 2009), and CPSC 2009 (Brisbane, Australia, July 2009).


2. SCOPE AND INTERESTS

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

- Track 1: Cyber-physical systems and society
- Track 2: Social computing
- Track 3: Pervasive/ubiquitous computing
- Track 4: Sensor/actuator networks
- Track 5: Security, privacy, and trust
- Track 6: Applications and services


3. IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Due:  July 30, 2012
Notification of Acceptance:  September 30, 2012
Final Manuscript Due:  October 15, 2012


4. 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://cpscom.univ-fcomte.fr/. All papers will be reviewed by the Program 
Committee for significance, originality, accuracy, and clarity.


5. 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 2012 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).
