The Future of Cybermatics: AI and Blockchain Empowered Cyberization

Aug 14 (Day 3) 10:30-12:00
Cybermatics is a holistic field for the systematic study of cyber entities and cyber-enabled worlds. Cyberization is the process for conjugations of cyber entities with entities in conventional worlds with a suite of Cyber sciences including theories/technologies/engineering. Cyber entities and Cyber-enabled worlds are forming and expanding into new fields named Cyber-X such as Cyber-Physical, Cyber-Social, Cyber-Mental, etc., which can be envisioned as an essential future discipline. AI and Blockchain are two of the recent technology trends that are catalyzing the pace of innovation and introducing radical shifts in everyday life and every industry. Due to their two sided effectiveness as “angel” and “devil”, how the joint use of the two will have impacts on Cyber-X fields? Will they be two major technologies and driven force for Cybermatics? How to govern and evolve a Cyber Ecosystem? This panel aims at providing an academic roundtable for scholars to brain storming, exchange new ideas and innovative technologies, and even undertake joint research studies. The topics include but not limited to
(1) Fundamental Problems of Cyber Sciences
(2) Emerging and Promising Cyber Technologies
(3) Disruptive Cyber-Enabled Applications
(4) Governance and evolutionary of the Cyber Ecosystem
