*************************** IEEE CYBCONF-2017 CFP *****************************
The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Cybernetics 
(CYBCONF-2017) 
http://cse.stfx.ca/~CybConf2017
Exeter, England, UK, 21-23 June 2017 
Sponsored by
IEEE;
IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMC). 
and supported by 
IEEE SMC Technical Committees on Cybermatics for Cyber-enabled Worlds; 
IEEE SMC Technical Committees on Awareness Computing; 
IEEE SMC Technical Committees on Intelligent Industrial Systems; 
IEEE SMC Technical Committees on Distributed Intelligent Systems.

INTRODUCTION
=============
The biennial International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCONF)
provides a premier international forum for researchers and
practitioners to report the latest innovations, summarize the
state-of-the-art, and exchange ideas and advances in all aspects of
Cybernetics. Apart of the main track it includes special sessions and
plenary talks by invited eminent speakers.

CYBCONF-2017 is organized by University of Exeter, sponsored by IEEE
Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMC), and supported by IEEE SMC
Technical Committees on Cybermatics for Cyber-enabled Worlds,
Awareness Computing, Intelligent Industrial Systems; and Distributed
Intelligent Systems. CYBCONF-2017 will be hosted in Exeter, the
capital city of Devon and provides the county with a central base for
education, medicine, religion, commerce and culture. The city is also
home to the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, which dates back to Norman
times. Exeter is also ideally placed to base a trip to branch out
visiting places such as the famous Dartmoor National Park and the
unspoilt beaches of the North and South Devon coastlines.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to
CYBCONF-2017. Accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings, available on IEEE Xplore and submitted to be indexed in
CPCi (ISI conferences and part of Web of Science) and Engineering
Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be invited post
conference to extend their contributions for special issues of
prestigious journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, IEEE
SMC Magazine, Evolving Systems, and Peer-to-Peer Networking and
Applications (PPNA).
