INTRODUCTION

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Cyber-Social Systems (CSS) are emerging cross- disciplinary research areas that feature the combination of computational and physical elements. CSS is rapidly evolving due to the popularity of online social networking. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing and networking, future social networks involve cyber-physical interactions among associated social attributes. Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) are known as the intergration between CPS and CSS.

The 19th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom-2026) will provide a high-profile leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations. We seek submissions of papers addressing new techniques, introducing innovative methodologies, and proposing new CPS, CSS, and CPSS research directions.

IMPORTANT DATES

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE

All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/cpscom/) with PDF format. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over-length charge) for a regular full paper, 6 pages (or 8 pages with over-length charge) for a full paper including figures and references using the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings manuscripts style.

Papers accepted by IEEE CPSCom 2026 conference will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference; otherwise, the paper will not be included in the proceedings. All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and EI. Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be invited for submission to a special issue.
