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)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
