Cybermatics 2018 - E 2018 World Cybermatics Congress (Cybermatics 2018)

Advances in computers, information and networks, not only offer us novel services, but are also bringing about a digital cyberspace and a further digital cyber world. Numerous digital things or cyber entities will be generated and will reside in the cyber world, and countless real things in conventional physical, social and mental worlds will possess some cyber mappings or cyber components, to have a cyber existence. Cyberization is an emerging trend forming the new cyber world and reforming these conventional worlds towards cyber-enabled hyper worlds. Cybermatics is to build systematic knowledge about new phenomena, behaviors, properties and practices in the cyberspace, cyberization and cyber-enabled hyper worlds.
The IEEE Cybermatics Congress originated from the 2013 World Cybermatics Congress (Beijing, China). SmartWorld 2018 in Halifax is the continuation after the success of Cybermatics 2017 in Exeter, Cybermatics 2016 in Chengdu, Cybermatics 2015 in Sydney, and Cybermatics 2014 in Taipei. IEEE Cybermatics 2018 aims to provide a high-profile platform for researchers and engineers to exchange and explore state-of-art innovations in cyber technology and their applications in physical, social and mental worlds.
