International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Cyber Physical Systems (CICPS)
This conference would serve as a critical platform to explore the intersection and integration of Computational Intelligence (CI) methodologies with Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). It objectives are showcase how intelligent, adaptive, and nature-inspired computational techniques are essential for designing, operating, and securing the next generation of interconnected physical and digital infrastructures. CI deals with complex, real-world problems that might be uncertain, imprecise, or too complex for traditional mathematical modelling. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are societal-scale engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless, correct and safe integration of physical processes, computation components, and in most cases also human supervisors. As cyber physical systems are a multidisciplinary field, the engineering requires theoretical analysis, advanced heuristics, artificial intelligence, security methodologies and big data to work seamlessly together. The deployment of the system is profoundly transforming how we interact with the physical world, just as the world wide web transformed how we interact with one another. Impact of computational intelligence on these systems are visible across a number of challenging domains including autonomous systems, agriculture, aeronautics, building design, civil infrastructure, energy, environmental quality, healthcare and personalized medicine, manufacturing, and transportation. Further integration and innovations in domain will continue to have an enormous societal and economic impact.
The International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Cyber Physical Systems (CICPS), serves as the foremost platform to showcase and discuss ground breaking technical research contributions shaping the field of CPS. The conference will bring together industry experts, researchers, and academics to exchange insights and experiences on frontier technologies, ground breaking research, and innovative solutions within the CICPS and digital transformation with aid of AI and its various applications. With a rich and diverse program, the conference will present research and innovation papers, alongside compelling special sessions, engaging exhibitions, and an industry forum showcasing subjective industry talks. Schedule now to be part of this spectacular and highly anticipated event, taking place Jan 2-3, 2026 in Kolkata, India.
This conference has been divided into five tracks where, we are inviting papers to be submitted in: (i) Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep learning, (ii) Augmented reality, Virtual Reality, Digital Twining, (iii) Internet of Things and Sustainable Development, (iv) Distributed Computing, Edge, Fog and Cloud Computing, and (v) Network, Data, Cloud, and Cyber Security, Block chain.
