Introduction

As an emerging cross-disciplinary research area, the Cyber Physical System (CPS) is attracting attention worldwide. CPS features a combination of computational and physical elements, all of which are capable of interacting, reflecting and influencing each other. Furthermore, social systems are evolving with cyber systems and physical systems along with the popularity of online social networking. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing and networking, future social networks turn into cyber-physical interactions, which are attached with associated social attributes.

The 2019 IEEE International Conference on Cyber Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom-2019) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future. We seek submissions of papers which invent new techniques, introduce innovative methodologies, propose new research directions and discuss approaches for unsolved issues.
