The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics will be held on October 10-13, 2010 , in Istanbul, Turkey. With its magnificent history and beautiful sites, Istanbul offers a unique environment for hosting conferences and meetings. It is the only city in the world standing upon two continents, Asia & Europe. Bosphorus is the name of the strait in between the two continents. The City hosts more than 10 million visitors every year, as it has been the capital of two world-empires for over 2000 years, and thus is full of historic and cultural monumental buildings and masterpieces of Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman art.

Istanbul is a vivid metropolis, intensely alive by day and night, which has seen many cultures passed through its filter... A city, for which poems have been written and songs sung... A city generous with unforgettable views... From its old Bazaars from Ottoman Ages (15th-16th centuries) to the giant modern shopping malls, Istanbul is one of the shopping capitals of the world… It is no wonder that it has been chosen as one of the European Capital of Culture for 2010. Participate in SMC 2010 and enjoy this vibrant city.
