The Early Career Advisory Board (ECAB) of IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica (JAS) is pleased to present the Symposium Series 8 in 2022 Distributed Sensing, Transmission and Control for Surface and Underwater Cyber-Physical Systems, to be held online on August 13, 2022.

The Symposium Series is technically sponsored by the IEEE/CAA JAS and aims to provide a research venue for researchers, students, and control engineers to exchange ideas and discuss the technical trends and challenges in the area of automation science and engineering. The Series brings together a set of one day or half day symposia at a common site, currently being planned as an online event given the pandemic situation, but IEEE/CAA JAS will be monitoring the pandemic situation and will announce any modifications to this plan. The Series will run multiple times yearly and different symposium topics will be solicited from the current ECAB members.

The eighth Symposium Series is devoted to recent advances in Distributed Sensing, Transmission and Control for Surface and Underwater Cyber-Physical Systems, hosted by two ECAB members Prof. Jing Yan and Dr. Huimin Lu.

Accepted papers will be distributed as widely as possible over the subfields of Distributed Sensing, Transmission and Control for Surface and Underwater Cyber-Physical Systems. Most excitingly, all accepted papers will be recommended to and published in the IEEE/CAA JAS as Letter when passing peer review.
