Conference Proceedings in IEEE Xplore

=========================================================================


Building smart cities require multi-disciplinary teams composed of researchers
and practitioners working together to solve urban computing and smart city
service problems. Coping with emerging challenges in engineering diverse
complex cyber systems for smart cities requires the use of state-of-the-art
technologies and solutions in smart sensing/devices/materials, IoT, networking,
cloud computing, big data, and mobile cloud services, to build innovative smart
city services and application systems. IEEE Smart City Innovations(IEEE SCI 2017)
is set up to provide a unique platform for multi-disciplinary researchers and
teams, industry solution vendors, and government agencies to exchange innovative
ideas, challenges, research results and solutions, as well as project experience
reports and stories. IEEE SCI 2017 will include a highly selective program of
technical papers, accompanied by workshops, demos, panel discussions and keynote
speeches. We welcome Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers that describe original and
unpublished research on the real issues, challenges and needs in building smart
cities for now and future.

Submission Guidelines:

WiP papers may be no more than 6 pages in length, or at most 2 additional
pages with the pages overlength charge, including figures, tables, and
references.

WiP papers are expected to present early or ongoing research activities.
Novel approaches and preliminary results are especially appreciated.

The submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the IEEE SCI 2017
Technical Program Committee. All selected papers will be orally presented
in a special conference session. At least one author of each accepted paper
must register and attend the conference to present the work. The accepted
papers will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE, and will
be included in the Digital Library in IEEE Xplore.

Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in
standard IEEE proceedings format in PDF. All submissions must be typeset
in double-column IEEE format using 10pt fonts on US letter paper, with
all fonts embedded. Submitted papers must include the contact information
of all the authors. Please make sure you use the latest version of the
templates to prepare your submissions. Due to the short interval between
the notification of acceptance and the camera-ready deadline, we strongly
encourage authors to follow the camera-ready formatting guidelines as
close as possible.

The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates for conferences can be found
at IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings at

When submitting, please select the appropriate Track for your paper
(i.e., WiP).

Best Work-in-Progress Paper Award
IEEE Smart World Congress will be offering an award recognizing the Best
Work-in-Progress Paper presented at the conference. During the Work-in-
Progress session, your paper will be reviewed by a judging panel selected
from the conference organizing and program committee. Your paper will be
judged based on the novelty, quality of research undertaken and clarity
of presentation. The Best Work-in-Progress Paper will receive an Award
Certificate.
