Welcome Message from the Congress Chairs Advances in computers, information and networks, not only offer us novel services, but also are bringing about a digital cyberspace and a further digital cyber world. Numerous digital things or cyber entities will
be generated and will reside in the cyber world, and countless real things in conventional physical, social and mental worlds will possess some cyber mappings or cyber components, to have a cyber existence. Cyberization is an emerging trend forming the new cyber world and reforming these conventional worlds
towards cyber-enabled hyper worlds. Cybermatics is to build systematic knowledge about new phenomena, behaviors, properties and practices in the cyberspace, cyberization and cyber -enabled hyper worlds.
The IEEE Cybermatics Congress originated from the 2013 World Cybermatics Congress in Beijing.
Cybermatics 2018 in Halifax is the continuation after the success of Cybermatics 2017 in Exeter, Cybermatics 2016 in Chengdu, Cybermatics 2015 in Sydney, and Cybermatics 2014 in Taipei. IEEE Cybermatics 2018 aims to provide a high-profile platform for researchers and engineers to exchange and
explore state-of-art innovations in cyber technology and their applications in physical, social and mental worlds.
The congress consists of the following 6 co-located conferences:
·The 4th IEEE International Conference on Smart Data (SmartData 2018)
·The 11th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom 2018)
·The 11th IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings 2018)

Summary: To capture the essence of data, facilitate building their essential descriptors and reveal key relat ionships
(associations), we advocate a need for transforming data into more abstract constructs - in formation granules. In this
setting, information granules are regarded as conceptually sound knowledge tidbits over which various models could
be developed. The paradigm shift implied by the engagement of in formation granules becomes manifested in several
tangible ways including (i) a stronger dependence on data when building structure-free and versatile models spanned
over selected numeric or granular representatives of experimental data, (ii) emergence of models at various levels of
abstraction being promoted by the specificity/generality of informat ion granules, and (iii) building a collection of
individual local models and supporting their efficient aggregation and consensus building.
A framework of Granular Computing along with a diversity of its formal settings offers a critically needed
conceptual and algorithmic environment. A suitable perspective built with the aid of in formation granules is
advantageous in realizing a suitable level of abstraction. It also becomes instrumental when forming sound a nd
pragmatic problem-oriented and user-oriented tradeoffs among precision of results, their easiness of interpretation,
value, and stability.
The functional scheme advocated in this talk is outlined as follows: data -> numeric prototypes -> granular
prototypes -> granular models. Numeric prototypes are formed through invoking clustering algorithms, which quite
commonly gives rise to a co llect ion of the representatives. Two ways of generalizat ion of prototypes are considered:
(i) symbolic and (ii) granular. In the symbolic generalization, one moves away from the numeric values of the
prototypes and regards them as sequences of integer indexes (labels). A long this line, developed are concepts of
(symbolic) stability and (symbolic) resemblance of data structures. The second generalizat ion motivates the buildup
of granular prototypes, which arise as a direct consequence for a more comprehensive representation of the data.
This entails that informat ion granules (including their level of abstraction), have to be p rudently formed to achieve
the required quality of the granular model. Subsequently two modes of aggregation of models (sources of knowledge)
such as passive and active aggregation are also discussed.

Summary: The fifth generation (5G) communication network is expected to accommodate a wide range of emerg ing services
with diverse service quality requirements. The network will integrate a variety of network resources and
technologies to support high transmission rate and to enhance quality of experience to mobile users. The traditional
one-size-fits-all network architecture cannot efficiently meet the needs of different services, due to the poor
scalability, limited adaptability, and inflexib ility. Network function virtualizat ion (NFV) over software defined
networking (SDN) technology is a promising approach for an agile and flexib le 5G networking infrastructure. In this
presentation, we will provide an overview of several recent studies for 5G networks, including dynamic rad io
resource slicing in wireless network virtualization, computing and transmission resource allocation in the core
network, and how to establish a customized virtual network topology for multicast services. We will conclude this
presentation with a brief discussion of some open research topics.

Summary: Robotics and artificial intelligence are attracting more and more public attentions and research efforts lately. Recent
revolutionary development and drastic progress in robotic technology and artificial intelligence in terms of both
hardware capability and software power have made it possible for researchers to redefine what robotics and artificial
intelligence can achieve with their joint force in accomplishing complicated human tasks, exploring new
applications, and expanding envelops of possibilities. We will use our own research case studies to initiate
discussions on how the artificial intelligence shall be combined with or integrated in robotics to tackle tasks that
could not be accomplished to our satisfaction. Personal thoughts and outlook on future research efforts and
potentials in robotics and artificial intelligence will be outlined to conclude the talk.

Summary: Collection and analysis of data from deployed networks is essential for understanding modern networks. Traffic
traces collected from various deployed communicat ion networks and the Internet have been used to characterize and
model network traffic, analyze Internet topologies, and classify network anomalies. Data min ing and statistical
analysis of network data are often employed to determine traffic loads, analyze patterns of users' behavior, and
predict future network traffic. Spectral graph theory has been applied to analyze various topologies of complex
networks and capture historical t rends in their development. Recent machine learn ing techniques have proved
valuable for predicting anomalous traffic behavior and for classifying anomalies in complex networks. Further
applications of these tools will help improve our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that govern the
behavior of complex networks such as the Internet, social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Internet blogs,
forums, and websites), power grids, gene regulatory networks, neuronal systems, food webs, social systems, and
networks emanating from augmented and virtual reality platforms. They will also help improve performance of
these networks and enhance their security.

Summary: Recent years have seen a growing interest among users in the migrat ion of their applicat ions to the Cloud computing
environments. However, due to high complexity, Cloud-based services often experience a large number of failures
and security breaches, and consequently, impose numerous challenges on the dependability and resilience of users’
applications. Unfortunately, current dependability and resilience solutions focus either on the infrastructure itself or
on application analysis but fail to consider the complex inter-dependencies between system components and
application tasks. This aspect is highly crucial especially when Cloud environments are used, as it is increasingly
considered nowadays, in critical applications.
Besides, definit ion of application requirements, allocations of resources to application tasks, and optimizat ion of
global management parameters usually are based either on statistical approaches or on heuristics strategies typical of
operating research. Computational intelligence may give additional opportunities and flexibility in specifying the
requirements especially when they are defined by non-experts and in optimizing the resource allocation and the
global management parameters.
This talk will discuss a user-centric, dependability- and resilience-driven framework that considers deploying and
protecting users’ applications in the Cloud in frastructure so as to min imize their exposure to the vulnerabilit ies in the
network, as well as offering fault tolerance and resilience as a service to the users who need to deploy their
applications in the Cloud. In this scenario, the talk analyzes the opportunities offered by computational intelligence
to specify the characteristics and the requirements of these environments and support their management in the
presence of many local optimization minima.

Summary: Due to improvements in mathemat ical formulas and increasingly powerfu l computers, we can now model many
more layers of virtual neurons (deep neural networks or deep learning) than ever before. Deep learning is now
producing many remarkable recent successes in computer vision, automatic speech recognition, natural language
processing, audio recognition, and medical imaging processing. Although various deep learning architectures and
novel algorithms have been applied to many big data applications, extending deep learning into more complicated
applications such as bioinformatics or medical images will require more conceptual and software breakthroug hs, not
to mention many more advances in processing power. In this talk, I will outline the challenges and problems in deep
learning research. They include design of new architectures, handling high dimensional data, encoding schemes,
mathematical proofs, optimization of hyperparameters, logic and reasoning, result exp lanation and hardware support
for deep learning. Some solutions and preliminary results in these areas will be presented.

The 2018 IEEE International Congress on Cybermatics
IEEE iThings/GreenCom/CPSCom/SmartData/Blockchain/CIT-2018
Keynote: Blockchain: Benefits, Limitations, and a Use Case on Enforcing Data Privacy
Wenjing Lou, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA
About the Keynote Speaker
Wenjing Lou is the W. C. English Professor of Computer Science at Virgin ia Tech and a
Fellow of the IEEE. She holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the
University of Florida. Her research interests cover many topics in the cybersecurity field, with
her current research interest focusing on privacy protection techniques in networked

Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS), which is a conference series in IEEE
Communicat ions Society (ComSoc) core conference portfolio and the only ComSoc conference focusing solely on
cybersecurity.
Summary: Blockchain, the technology behind Bitcoin, has drawn widespread attention in recent years . As a popular “secure by
design” technology, Blockchain demonstrates the great potential to enable a wide range of d istributed applications
across a broad spectrum of industries. With a blockchain in place, applicat ions that could previously run only
through a trusted intermediary, can now operate in a fully decentralized fashion while achieving the same security
objectives with the same amount of certainty.
In this talk, we will discuss a few use cases of blockchain and examine its fundamental properties, both desirable
and undesirable. While blockchain promises user anonymity, transaction irreversibility, public verifiability, and
transparency, etc., some of these properties are not guaranteed and they come at a very high price. At the same t ime,
excessive overhead and performance deficits may place a fundamental limit on some security uses. We will also
introduce “PrivacyGuard”, a blockchain-based privacy policy enforcement framework that explores the combination
of blockchain with the trusted execution environment (TEE) such as Intel SGX to empower indiv idual data owners
to define their privacy policy using “smart contract,” track their data usage on the blockchain, and enforce their
policy compliance through a hardware-assisted TEE.

Summary: With rapid aging society in developed countries particularly Japan, social costs for nursing care and medical
expenses are also rising. Meanwhile, the size of the average family has continued to shrink, which results in the
increase of elderly people liv ing alone. Smart healthcare is expected to support the aging society where people can
live healthy and peacefully, while reducing the costs for support dramat ically. To realize such a society, smart
technologies are necessary. Smart sensor is one of the s mart technologies where it is expected to collect information
about people and environments while keeping privacy. For instance, monitoring a person living alone is an
important problem in which the use of cameras is not normally permitted or preferred. In this talk I will introduce
smart healthcare and smart sensors that realize it. I will also introduce some of our developed smart sensors based on
wireless communicat ions technologies. I will present some ideas how to securely share personal health data and
conclude.
