CFP | Special Issue in IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics

1948 年，诺伯特·维纳出版其跨时代的巨著《控制论——关于在动物和机器中控制和通讯的科学》，今天，它的思想和方法已经渗透到了几乎所有的自然科学和社会科学领域。《控制论》的核心思想——控制、反馈和人机交互，至今依然在影响并塑造今天的智能科技！它所引发的哲学问题，诸如自动机和思维的关系、思考的机器、信息的本质、机器的意识等等，一直到现在都是唯物主义和唯心主义激烈争论的课题。

                            

今年恰逢《控制论》一书问世70周年，为了纪念这本对多学科有着重要影响力的书籍的出版，“IEEE控制论汇刊”特面向广大专家学者及科研工作者开展控制论领域优秀论文征集活动。欢迎广大科技工作者积极投稿！

From Intelligent Control to Smart Management of Cyber-Physical-Social Systems:

A Celebration of 70th Anniversary of Cybernetics by Norbert Wiener

TOPIC SUMMARY

In 1948, Norbert Wiener published Cybernetics, which defined cybernetics as ‘the scientific study of control and communication in the animaland the machine’. In the recent years, cybernetics has contributed totremendous advances from intelligent control to smart management of Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS). A variety of specialized journals and bookshas been published to tackle various aspects of these topics. The intelligent control techniques of cybernetics usually include, but are not limited to: artificial intelligence, machine learning and evolutionary computation. It is known that control system and external environment are usually treated separately in the traditional control. With the help of novel technologies suchas cloud computing, big data and intelligent systems, the concept cyber-physical systems (CPS) was coined to describe the seamless connection and coordination between computational (or cyber) and physical resources. Inaddition, due to the unprecedented sphere and speed of influence experienced inthe cyberspace and its profound impact on the way, we behave and interact with each other in some extent. Therefore, social and human dynamics must beintegrated as a part of any effective CPS design and operation, thus insertingsocial factors into CPS is reasonable and well justified. Based on the above discussions, CPSS is presented, in which CPS is tightly conjoined, coordinated, and integrated with human and social characteristics. It will offer new opportunities and call for the advancement of interdisciplinary theory in both human and computational studies.

The aim of this special issue is tocelebrate the 70th Anniversary of Cybernetics by Norbert Wiener, andcall for the most advanced research in the field of cybernetics. Specifictopics of interest include but are not limited to:

• History and Survey of Cybernetics;

• Recent Developments of Learning, ComputationalGames, and Artificial Intelligence;

• Modeling, Analysis, and Intelligent Control of Cyber-Physical Systems;

• Representation, Analytics, and Smart Management of Cyber-Physical-Social Systems;

• Knowledge Automation and Automation of Intelligence;

• Perspectives on Intelligent Technologyand Future Cybernetics;

   IMPORTANT DATES:

• Deadline for submission: December 31, 2017

• First round of review: April 15, 2018

• Deadline for submission of revised manuscripts: May 31, 2018

• Final decision of acceptance: June 30, 2018

• Tentative publication date: October 30, 2018

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
