Developing a smart city to better support growing urban population is a global and complex challenge and involves interdisciplinary fields. Key ‘smart’ sectors include transportation, smart building, energy, health care, and water systems. IEEE SmartCity is aiming to be a premier international conference in smart city. This conference 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. Scope and Topics Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart Buildings - Smart Transportation - Smart Environment and Economy - Energy-Efficient Smart Grid Systems - Smart Grid System Management - Citizen Engagement and Smart Governance - 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 All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work.
