   Selected papers, after further extensions and revisions, will be recommended to special issues.
======================================================================================================= 

The IEEE CPSCom-2020 Conference was planned to be held in Rhodes Island, Greece, November 02-06, 2020. Given the COVID-19 pandemic 
and associated travel restrictions, as the safety of people is of the highest priority, the conference will be held virtually on November 02-06, 2020. 
Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore Digital Library after they are presented at the virtual conference. Information and 
instructions on how to prepare for a virtual presentation will be sent separately.

======================================================================================================= 

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Cyber-Social Systems (CSS) are emerging cross- disciplinary research areas that feature the combination of 
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 involve cyber-physical interactions among associated social attributes. Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) 
are known as the intergration between CPS and CSS.

The 2020 IEEE International Conference on Cyber Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom- 2020) will provide a high-profile leading-edge forum for 
researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations. We seek submissions of papers addressing new techniques, 
introducing innovative methodologies, and proposing new CPS, CSS, and CPSS research directions.
