The papers in this special section examine the human factors integration of cyber-physical social systems in computer applications. Human factors are becoming increasingly important in computing systems. A cyber-physical social system (CPSS), which incorporates human factors, encompasses not only cyberspace and physical world, but also human knowledge, mental capacity, and sociocultural elements. Rapid developments in cloud computing, smart grid, autonomous automotive systems, medical monitoring, process control systems, distributed robotics, and mobile networks are instigating a new paradigm shift in CPSS architectures, platforms and services by bringing improvement not only to the performance but also to the user experience in terms of the energy efficiency, reliability, security, and cost efficiency with human factors. The integration of cyber-physical systems and human social behaviors also provides a good opportunity to address challenges in human-centric technology development by using advanced technologies such as social computing, social system, and social networking.

客座社论：网络物理社会系统特辑——将人融入计算

本节中的论文研究了计算机应用中网络物理社会系统的人为因素集成。人为因素在计算系统中变得越来越重要。包含人为因素的网络物理社会系统（CPSS）不仅包含网络空间和物理世界，还包含人类知识、心理能力和社会文化要素。云计算、智能电网、自主汽车系统、医疗监控、过程控制系统、分布式机器人和移动网络的快速发展正在推动 CPSS 架构、平台和服务的新范式转变，不仅提高性能，而且在能源效率、可靠性、安全性和成本效率方面的用户体验以及人为因素。
