*********** CALL FOR PAPER FOR The 7th IEEE Cyber Science and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech 2022) ***********
joint conference IEEE DASC/PICom/CBDCom/CyberSciTech 2022
September 12 - 15, 2022 Calabria, Italy
http://cyber-science.org/2022/cyberscitech/

Cyberspace, the seamless integration of physical, social, and mental spaces, is developing quickly and becomes an integral part of our society, ranging from education and entertainment to business and cultural activities, and so on. There are, however, a number of pressing challenges such as human-control, accessibility, safety and trust associated with the cyberspace. For example, how do we strike a balance between the need for strong cybersecurity and preserving the privacy of ordinary citizens?
To address these challenges, there is a need to establish new science and research portfolios that incorporate cyber-physical, cyber-social, cyber-intelligent, and cyber-life technologies in a cohesive and efficient manner. The aim of the IEEE Cyber Science and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech) is therefore to offer IEEE CyberSciTech with the aim of providing a common platform for scientists, researchers, and engineers to share their latest ideas and advances in the broad scope of cyber-related science, technology, and application topics. In addition, this is also a platform to allow relevant stakeholders to get together, discuss and identify ongoing and emerging challenges, in order to understand and shape new cyber-enabled worlds.
