Cybermatics, which is a novel concept to address strategy and technology issues in the heterogeneous cyber-physical-social space, becomes a hotly discussed topic, and is attracting more and more researchers to be engaged in this interdisciplinary field. This special issue, aiming at enhancing the next generation of computational technologies, is introduced to provide both theoretical and algorithmic support across cyber-physical-social systems with cyber-enabled applications. A summary of the selected papers is presented, and a variety of cyber-related concerns and solutions are demonstrated in the hyper world. Topics among the selected papers include cyber-social data processing and network analysis, cyber-physical system architecture and platform design, cyber-enabled application development, and cyber security management, which may draw up a promising perspective for the future research.}, urldate = {2018-06-11}, journal = {Future Generation Computer Systems}, author = {Zhou, Xiaokang and Zomaya, Albert Y. and Li, Weimin and Ruchkin, Ivan}, year = {2017}, keywords = {Cyber security, Cyber-enabled applications, Cyber-physical systems, Cyber-social networks, Cyberization, Cybermatics, Cyberspace}, pages = {350--353} }
