ollowing San Diego (2014) and
Hong Kong (2015), Budapest
played host to the annual IEEE
Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS) flagship conference, the
IEEE International Conference on
Systems, Man, and Cybernetics 2016
(SMC 2016). The event was held 9-
12 October on the Danube promenade,
the most visited part of the city at
the Hotel InterContinental Budapest
and the Sofitel Chain Bridge Budapest luxury hotels. Organization of
the conference was accomplished in
collaboration with Óbuda University
(Hungary), Taiwan Tech, and the IEEE
Hungary Section.
This year, SMC 2016 was dedicated
to the Hungarian-born John von Neumann, "A Pioneer of Modern Computer
Science." In his honor, the theme of the
conference was "A Theory That Transformed the World into a Cyberspace."
Interest in SMC 2016 was outstanding. According to the registration data,
1,052 internationally recognized scientists, researchers, engineers, and
students from all over the world
attended the conference. The number of total submitted papers was
1,506, one of the highest in the conference's history. After the reviewing
process, 637 oral and 196 poster presentations were accepted. Thus, the
acceptance ratio was 55%, the lowest
in recent years (Figure 1).
Countries with the highest number
of participants were China, Japan, the
United States, Tunisia, Taiwan, and
Germany (Figure 2). However, many
other countries from around the world
were represented by participants as
well; in total, attendees represented 59
