The 2015 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC) 2015 was held at City University (CityU) of Hong Kong 9-12 October. Hong Kong, the "Pearl of the East," is Asia's premier city, and its culture represents a fusion of East and West. The main conference venue was the recently completed Academic 3 building at the university. With its modern appearance that evokes the image of a ship sailing smoothly in the air and its spacious interior design, which includes a 600-seat lecture theater with state-of-the-art facilities, the new academic building provided an ideal environment for the SMC 2015 attendees to participate in the various conference activities and to interact with their academic peers.
