We have been able to digitize almost everything. Besides, whatever we digitize, we can certainly integrate and analyze. That also enabled the emergence of a new paradigm on global information networks and infrastructures known as Cyberspace, which has emerged as the new frontier that seamlessly brings together physical, social and mental spaces. Cyberspace is evolving to become an integral component of our daily life bringing together work and private life; learning and entertainment, and business and cultural activities. As expected, this whole concept of cyberspace brings new challenges that need to be tackled.

To address these continuously emerging challenges, there is a need to establish new sciences and research portfolios that incorporates cyber-physical, cyber-social and cyber-mental together in a coherent manner to deliver the vision of Cyberspace. This is the aim of the 2016 IEEE Cyber Science and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech 2016) to offer a common platform for scientists, researchers and engineers to exchange their latest ideas and outcomes in research, technology and science. It is also a venue to exchange the latest advances in cyberspace studies with the broad scope of cyber-related sciences, technologies and applications topics.
