Scope
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Smart computing is a multidisciplinary domain enabled by advances in sensor-based technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems (CPS), edge computing, big data analytics, machine learning, cognitive computing, ambient intelligence, and artificial intelligence.

Applications of smart computing span many societal domains, including transportation, energy, environmental protection, smart and connected communities, healthcare, banking, industrial systems, entertainment, and social media. Algorithmic and system advancements in cloud computing, mobile/pervasive computing, cyber-physical systems, sensor networking, and social computing are expanding the influence of smart computing in everyday ways of living.

The Posters and Work-in-Progress (WIP) session will provide a forum to discuss novel ideas, preliminary results, present innovative applications and tools, and bring about novel research questions, approaches, and directions.
The Demo session will focus on hands-on demonstrations of preliminary works on novel platforms, implementations, and case studies.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Future Smart Computing Paradigms
- Models of Smart Environments
- Algorithms for Smart Computing
- AI and Machine Learning in Smart Computing
- Security, Privacy, and Trust Issues in Smart Computing
- Fairness and Socio-technical Issues of Smart Computing
- Cyber-physical System Platforms for Smart Environments
- Middleware Platforms for Smart Environments
- Mobile and Ubiquitous Platforms for Smart Environments
- Cloud, Edge, and Fog Computing Platforms for Smart Systems
- Data Architectures and Analytics for Smart Computing
- Smart Computing for Smart and Connected Communities
- Smart Green Computing
- Social Computing and Smart Systems
- Wearable Computing and IoT for Smart Systems
- Architectures and Software for Smart Computing
- Novel Communication Paradigms (e.g., 5G/6G, VLC, DSA) in Smart Computing
- Quantum Computing in Smart Systems
- Interdisciplinary Approaches to Smart Computing
- Applications of Smart Computing (e.g., smart healthcare, smart agriculture, smart infrastructures, smart cities, smart energy/transportation/water systems, smart factories, smart workspace)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Guidelines (Summary)
