IEEE DependSys 2021: The 7th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications http://www.ieee-cybermatics.org/2021/dependsys/ IEEE SmartCity 2021: The 19th IEEE International Conference on Smart City http://www.ieee-cybermatics.org/2021/smartcity/ The IEEE DependSys/SmartCity 2021 Conferences will be held at Haikou, China, December 17-19, 2021. We will be pretty happy to see all authors manage to attend DependSys/SmartCity-2021. However, given the COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions, as the safety of people is of the highest priority, we know that special circumstances are best handled by having flexible options, and thus we are offering the option of either physical presence or virtual participation. Please consider to contribute and submit your original research papers to DependSys/SmartCity-2021. ============================================================================= IEEE DependSys/SmartCity 2021 are sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC). All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and Engineering Index (EI). Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in 10+ SCI & EI indexed prestigious journals (confirmed). 1.
