2013 International Conference on Computing, Cybernetics and Intelligent Information Systems (CCIIS)

he disciplines of Computing, Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems have witnessed an unprecedented progress impacting our life at work-places, at homes and virtually all around us. These multi-faceted disciplines are converging very fast. Computing it-self has drawn several of its theories, systems and applications from the disciplines of Technology, Design, Engineering, Mathematics, Physical Sciences and Social Sciences. In the simplest words, Cybernetics is the science of communications and automatic control systems in both machines and living things. On the hand, an intelligent system learns how to act so it can reach its objectives. The above disciplines have offered opportunities as well as challenges to academia and research organizations the world-over. The very nature of these disciplines necessitates cooperative research involving trans-disciplinary development methodologies even crossing boundaries of nations. International collaborative research requires a vital community of researchers in each of the participating nations and commitment to share the benefits of research among the key stakeholders including developing nations. The universities and professional societies could play a crucial role to ensure the above.
