CALL FOR PAPERS

2011 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics

LOCATION:
IEEE SMC 2011 will be held in Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska,
where Alaska's temperate maritime climate is quite similar in the
fall to spring in San Francisco. The venue is the Hilton Anchorage
hotel, located in the heart of downtown just a 10 minute drive from
the airport, one block from the Alaska Railroad Depot, and within
walking distance of over 100 dining options in and surrounding the
downtown area.

THEME AND TECHNICAL SCOPE:
The IEEE SMC Society annual flagship conference provides a world-
class forum for all aspects of systems engineering, human-machine
systems and emerging cybernetics. The theme for IEEE SMC 2011 is:

CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS AND SOCIETY

This theme establishes a focus on practical applications of theory
and methodologies leading to tangible systems, products, and service
technologies that feature coordination between computational and
physical elements. At its core are coordinated computation,
communication, control, and sensing with actuation and adaptability
of physical systems. Human factors are magnified at the societal
interface to resonate in phase with IEEE SMC Society fields of
interest.

Advances in these fields are expected to enable cyber-physical
systems in multiple industry sectors and in the home. Current
advancements addressing technical and societal challenges of
cyber-physical systems will take center stage at IEEE SMC 2011.

Also featured is an annual Workshop on BRAIN-MACHINE INTERFACES.

Contributions covering theoretical developments and practical or
industrial applications are welcome, especially papers related to
the theme and any of the technical topics list below.
