  There is a growing trend towards the convergence of cyber-physical systems
(CPS) and social computing, which will lead to the emergence of smart
communities composed of various objects (including both human individuals and
physical things) that interact and cooperate with each other. These smart
communities promise to enable a number of innovative applications and services
that will improve the quality of life. This position paper addresses some
opportunities and challenges of building smart communities characterized by
cyber-physical and social intelligence.
