Call for Papers

2016 Cyber Science and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech 2016)

Auckland, New Zealand
August 8-12, 2016

Theme: Towards Cyber-Enabled New Sciences, Technologies and Applications
for a Better Society

We have been able to digitize almost everything. Besides, whatever we
digitize, we can certainly integrate and analyze. That also enabled the
emergence of a new paradigm on global information networks and
infrastructures known as Cyberspace, which has emerged as the new frontier
that seamlessly brings together physical, social and mental spaces.
Cyberspace is evolving to become an integral component of our daily life
bringing together work and private life; learning and entertainment, and
business and cultural activities. As expected, this whole concept of
cyberspace brings new challenges that need to be tackled.

To address these continuously emerging challenges, there is a need to
establish new sciences and research portfolios that incorporates
cyber-physical, cyber-social and cyber-mental together in a coherent manner
to deliver the vision of Cyberspace. This is the aim of the 2016 Cyber
Science and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech 2016). Its purpose is to
offer a common platform for scientists, researchers and engineers to
exchange their latest ideas and outcomes in research, technology and
science. It is also a venue to exchange the latest advances in cyberspace
studies with its broad scope of cyber-related sciences, technologies and
applications topics.

The CyberSciTech 2016 Congress will be held jointly with the 14th IEEE
International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing
(DASC 2016); the 14th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive
Intelligence and Computing (PICom 2016); and the 2nd International
Conference on Big Data Intelligence and Computing (DataCom 2016).

Submission and Publication
Proposals for organizing tutorials, workshops and special sessions need to
be submitted to the corresponding chairs, respectively. A proposal should
include title, theme, scope and main presenters/organizers.

Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not
previously been submitted or published in any other venue.

Main track papers (IEEE Computer Society format, maximum 8 pages) will be
submitted to the CyberSciTech 2016 system at: http://cyberscitech.net/2016/.


Workshop and Special Session papers (IEEE CS format, maximum 6 pages) need
to be submitted to the corresponding workshops and special sessions.

Demo/Poster proposals/papers  (IEEE CS format, 2-4 pages) need to be
submitted to the corresponding chairs.

All accepted papers in main tracks, workshops, special sessions and
demos/posters will be published in proceedings by IEEE Computer Society (EI
