ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Cyber-Social Systems (CSS) are emerging cross-disciplinary research areas that combine computational and physical elements. CSS is rapidly evolving due to the popularity of online social networking — with the advent of ubiquitous sensing and networking, future social networks increasingly involve cyber-physical interactions among associated social attributes.

Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) — the integration of CPS and CSS — represent the next frontier of connected, intelligent infrastructure. CPSCom 2026 provides a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers and practitioners to present state-of-the-art advances, innovations and new research directions across CPS, CSS and CPSS.

MIRAGe-UC Director Dr. Jacques Bou Abdo serves as General Chair of CPSCom 2026 — a recognition of the lab’s standing and contribution to the global cyber-physical systems research community.
