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 2011 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing 
(CPSCom 2011) 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 2011 is the 4th edition of the successful series, 
previously held as 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

Workshop Proposal Due:  April 20, 2011
Submission Due:  May 1, 2011
Notification of Acceptance:  July 1, 2011
Final Manuscript Due:  August 1, 2011


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 10 pages) and Short Papers (up to 4 pages) are solicited. Detailed 
submission instructions could be found on the conference website 
http://cpscom.org. 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 2011 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).


6. WORKSHOP PROPOSAL

Please submit a workshop proposal including call-for-papers, organizing 
committee, important dates, short bio of the organizers to the CPSCom 2011 
workshop chairs. Workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press. The 
workshops with more than 15 papers will be granted with a free complimentary 
registration for the leading workshop organizer.
