EAI IC4S 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference (with an on-site possibility).
If the local situation allows it, the event will take place on-site in its original location with an option for all authors to present remotely.
In any case, all matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged.

EAI IC4S 2021 is co-located to SmartCity360° 2021 Convention.

Scope

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are “engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components.” CPS are integrations of computation and communication with physical processes. CPS engineering focuses on managing inter- dependencies and impact of physical aspects on cyber aspects, and vice versa.

EAI International Conference on Cognitive Computing and Cyber Physical Systems (IC4S) is a premier conference for reporting advances in all CPS aspects, including theory, tools, applications, systems, test-beds and field deployments with emphasis on real-time issues. It aims to share the principles, methods, and techniques for building high-assurance cyber-physical systems. The conference focuses on the core science to develop fundamental principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements, as well as on the development of technologies, tools, architectures and infrastructure for building CPS systems, highlighting the design, implementation, and investigation of CPS applications. IC4S fosters to examine the intellectual content of the emerging field of CPS and its implications for engineering and computer science education.
