Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are the systematic combination of physical processes, information and communication technology, which are controlled or monitored by computer-based algorithms. Due to the deep and complex interaction among multiple components, the design and management of CPS have posed serious challenges in a variety of aspects, such as intelligence, performance, security, reliability, scalability, flexibility and sustainability.

CPSs are generally deployed as a network of interacting elements with a huge amount of data that involve heavy computation load. In the past years, cloud-assisted Internet of Things (IoT) has become the leading paradigm that enables intelligent and self-configuring IoT devices and sensors to be connected with the cloud through the Internet. Recently, the availability of Mobile Intelligent Computing (MIC) starts being supported by deploying intelligent nodes at the edge of network, such that computing and storage resources can be located not only in the cloud server, but also at the edges close to IoT devices. MIC is beneficial for addressing the issues of edge intelligence, network bandwidth limitations, long end-to-server network latencies, and data privacy etc. The aim of this special section is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners from academia, government and industry to present their state-of-the-art research results covering design, optimization, implementation, and evaluation of advanced MIC solutions for AI-driven CPS/IoT applications.

This is a special session of the 13th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (http://cse.stfx.ca/~cybermatics/2020/cpscom/index.php). Please submit your paper via the submission site (TBA) and select the special session of “Advanced Mobile Intelligent Computing and Internet of Things” marked with “CPSComMICIT”.

Accepted conference papers will be published by IEEE (IEEE-DL and EI indexed). Selected papers, after further extensions and revisions, will be recommended to journal special issues. More details at the conference website:
