From HandWiki
Short description: Computer Scientist

Houbing Herbert Song is an American computer scientist and professor whose research focuses on trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI), cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity. He is a tenured Full Professor in the Department of Information Systems [1] at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in Baltimore, USA, where he directs the Security and Optimization for Networked Globe (SONG) Laboratory.[2]

Song received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Virginia in August 2012.[3]

Song was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)[4] in November 2022 [5] for contributions to big data analytics and integration of AI with Internet of Things. In November 2022 he was named an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Distinguished Member for Outstanding Scientific Contributions to Computing.[6]

Since 2021, Song has been a Highly Cited Researcher[7] identified by Clarivate/Web of Science. Song's research has been cited over 43,000 times and Song has an h-index of 101.[8]

Song has held numerous editorial leadership positions in the computing and engineering communities. In 2025, he became Co-Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics,[9] one of the leading journals in industrial AI and intelligent automation. He also serves as Area Editor for IEEE Internet of Things Journal[10] and Associate Editor for several ACM and IEEE journals.

In 2024, Song founded the Trustworthy Internet of Things (TRUST-IoT) Working Group within IEEE IoT Technical Community.[11] In 2025, Song founded the ACM Emerging Interest Group on Trustworthy and Responsible Systems (EIGTRUST),[12] an ACM technical community dedicated to advancing research and education in trustworthy and responsible computing. Under his leadership, the organization launched a new conference ACM International Conference on Trustworthy and Responsible AI and Computing Systems.[13]

In 2026 Song was elected as a member of European Academy of Engineering (EAE) in the Class of Computer Science and Information Technology (C.S.E.).[14]
