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 byIEEE 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.
