Introduction

A smart city (also smarter city) uses digital technologies to enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. Key 'smart' sectors include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. A smart city should be able to respond faster to city and global challenges than one with a simple 'transactional' relationship with its citizens.

IEEE SmartCity 2016 is aiming to be a premier international conference in smart city. This symposium is to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of smart city include all aspects of smart city with emphasis on algorithms, systems, models, compilers, architectures, tools, design methodologies, test and applications.

Scope and Topics

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

• Smart Transportation
• Smart Home and Community
• E-health Systems
• Environment and Urban Monitoring
• Green Network and Energy Efficiency
• Smart Electronic Systems for Security
• Big Data for Urban Informatics
• QoS and QoE of Smart City Systems, Applications and Services
• Smart Sensor Technology and Measurement Systems
• Smart University and Smart Education
• Application Scenarios and Real-world Deployments for Smart Cities
• Smart City Governance
• Internet of Things for Smart Cities
• Cloud Computing and Network Infrastructure for Smart Cities
• Social Computing and Networks for Smart Cities
• Embedded Computing and Networks for Smart Cities
    
Submission Guidelines

Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference, including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files for LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three program committee members. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2016/smartcity/submission.htm.

Publications

Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS CPS (EI Index), which will be uploaded to IEEE Xplorer. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers may be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS after the conference.

Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be published in special issues of Journal of Network and Computer Applications, Future Generation Computer Systems, Journal of Computer and System Sciences and IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing.
