Speech Title: Cyber-Physical-Social Intelligence
Abstract: The booming growth and rapid development in embedded systems, wireless communications, sensing techniques and emerging support for cloud computing and social networks have enabled researchers and practitioners to create a wide variety of Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) that reason intelligently, act autonomously, and respond to the users’ needs in a context and situation-aware manner, namely Cyber-Physical-Social Intelligence. It is the integration of computation, communication and control with the physical world, human knowledge and sociocultural elements. It is a novel emerging computing paradigm and has attracted wide concerns from both industry and academia in recent years.
This talk will present our latest research on Cyber-Physical-Social Intelligence. Corresponding case studies in some typical applications will be shown to demonstrate the feasibility and flexibility.
