EAI IC4S 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference

In 2020, EAI successfully launched an online conference format to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the events, all while retaining fully live interaction, publication and indexing. Due to the unrelenting global pandemic, this will also be the case in 2021.
All matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged.
Participants will still be able to enjoy unique interactive benefits – learn more.

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.

Authors of selected best accepted and presented papers will be invited to submit an extended version to:

All accepted authors are eligible to submit an extended version in a fast track of:

Additional publication opportunities:

Paper submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.
