CALL FOR PAPERS

COMPSAC is the IEEE Computer Society Signature Conference on Computers,
Software and Applications. It is a major international forum for
academia, industry, and government to discuss research results and
advancements, emerging challenges, and future trends in computer and software
technologies and applications. The theme of COMPSAC 2018 is Staying
Smarter in a Smartening World.

Computer technologies are producing profound changes in society.
Emerging developments in areas such as Deep Learning, supported by
increasingly powerful and increasingly miniaturized hardware, are
beginning to be deployed in architectures, systems, and applications
that are redefining the relationships between humans and technology. As
this happens, humans are relinquishing their roles as masters of
technology to partnerships wherein autonomous, computer-driven devices
become our assistants.

What are the technologies enabling these changes?
How far can these partnerships go? What will be our future as we deploy
more and more “‘things” on the Internet of Things – to create smart
cities, smart vehicles, smart hospitals, smart homes, smart clothes,
etc.? Will humans simply become IoT devices in these scenarios and if
so, what will be the social, cultural, and economic challenges arising
from these developments? What are the technical challenges to making
this all happen – for example, in terms of technologies such as Big
Data, Cloud, Fog, Edge Computing, mobile computing, and pervasive
computing in general? What will be the role of the ‘user’ as the 21st
Century moves along?

COMPSAC 2018 is organized as a tightly integrated
union of symposia, each of which will focus on technical aspects related
to the ”smart” theme of the conference. The technical program will
include keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case studies,
fast abstracts, a doctoral symposium, poster sessions, and workshops and
tutorials on emerging and important topics related to the conference
theme. A highlight of the conference will be plenary and specialized
panels that will address the technical challenges facing technologists
who are developing and deploying these smart systems and applications.
Panels will also address cultural and societal challenges for a society
whose members must continue to learn to live, work, and play in the
environments the technologies produce.

Authors are invited to submit
original, unpublished research work, as well as industrial practice
reports. Simultaneous submission to other publication venues is not
permitted except as highlighted at the COMPSAC Journal Publishing Opportunities
webpage. All submissions must adhere to IEEE Publishing Policies, and
all will be ve ed through the IEEE CrossCheck Portal.
