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original and unpublished work.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 Press. 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 and EI after the conference.

Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues in Journal
of Network and Computer Applications, Future Generation Computer
Systems, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, IEEE Transactions on
Emerging Topics in Computing
