=============================================================================================================== ================================================================================================================ IEEE SMARTCOMP 2023 Nashville, Tennessee, June 26-30, 2023 https://smartcomp.isis.vanderbilt.edu/ https://twitter.com/IEEESmartComp Paper Submission: 3.16.23 ================================================================================================================ ================================================================================================================ SMARTCOMP 2023 is the 9th edition of the premier conference on smart computing. Smart computing is a multidisciplinary domain based on the synergistic influence of advances in sensor-based technologies, Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, edge computing, big data analytics, machine learning, cognitive computing, ambient intelligence, and artificial intelligence. Applications of smart computing can be found in various societal domains, including transportation, energy, environmental protection, smart and connected communities, healthcare, banking, industrial systems, entertainment, and social media. Algorithmic and systems advancements of cloud computing, mobile and pervasive computing, sensor networking, and social computing are taking smart computing to a new level while improving our ways of living. SMARTCOMP 2023 welcomes novel, cutting-edge, and creative research. Authors are encouraged to discuss the importance, timeliness, significance of their work, as well as limitations, potential future extensions, and open research directions. Topics SMARTCOMP 2023 solicits submissions that address the fundamental questions of smart computing, namely how to design and build scalable and reliable smart computing systems, and how to use computing technology for resource sustainability to improve the human experience. Topics of interest include---but are not limited to---the following: Emerging Smart Computing Paradigms Evaluation Studies and Datasets of Smart Environments Algorithms for Smart Computing AI and Machine Learning in Smart Computing Security, Privacy, and Trust in Smart Computing Smart and Usable Security and Privacy Fairness and Socio-technical Aspects of Smart Computing Middleware for Smart Systems Mobile and Ubiquitous Smart Systems Cloud, Edge, and Fog based Smart Computing Platforms Data Architectures and Analytics for Smart Computing Computing for Smart and Connected Communities Smart Green Computing Distributed Sensing and Computation Social Computing and Smart Systems Wearable Computing and IoT Architectures and Software for Smart Computing Novel Communication Paradigms (e.g., 5G/6G, VLC, DSA) in Smart Computing Contact-free Sensing Backscatter Communicating Smart Computing Platforms Quantum Computing in Smart Systems Interdisciplinary Approaches to Smart Computing Applications of Smart Computing: - Healthcare and Digital Epidemiology - Agriculture - Smart Cities - Power Systems - Transportation - Water Distribution - Manufacturing - Workspaces Important Dates (All Deadlines are Anywhere on Earth) Paper Submission: March 16, 2023 (FIRM) Acceptance Notification: April 18, 2023 Camera-ready Submission: May 10, 2023 Industry Track Papers Registration: March 9, 2023 (FIRM) Industry Track Papers Submission: March 16, 2023 (FIRM) WiP/Demo/Poster Submission: April 01, 2023 PhD Forum Submission: April 29, 2023 Conference: June 26-30, 2023 The conference is planned as an in-person event in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. The organizers will monitor the public health situation and may make adjustments if necessary. Paper Submission Guidelines Paper submissions must be no longer than 8 pages (the page count limit includes the references list) and formatted according to the two-column IEEE proceedings template. IEEE provides corresponding formatting templates at IEEE proceedings template. Authors should use the conference mode of the template, i.e., LaTeX users must use the conference option of the IEEEtran document class. Papers must be submitted electronically as a single PDF file on US Letter size paper (not A4), with all fonts embedded (PDF-A standard complies with this), through EDAS. All submitted papers that conform to these guidelines will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. All presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Journal Fast Track Extended versions of selected high-quality papers accepted by IEEE SMARTCOMP 2023 will be considered for publication in Elsevier's Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal (IF: 3.453).
