Applications of smart computing span different business areas including, but not limited to, transportation, energy, environmental protection, resource management, healthcare, security, banking, entertainment, and social media. The advancement of cloud computing, mobile/pervasive computing, cyber-physical systems, sensor networking and social computing are bringing smart computing to a newer dimension and improving our ways of living. The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2016) invites original papers on any topic that is related to smart computing. With the theme "Smart Living through Computing", SMARTCOMP 2016 will be a forum for the presentation and exchange of cutting-edge ideas. The topics to be addressed at SMARTCOMP 2016 will include, but are not limited to, all aspects of smart computing such as pervasive/ubiquitous computing, cloud computing, sensor networks, internet of things, big data analytics, security and privacy, social computing, cognitive computing, cyber-physical systems, smart buildings, smart cities and grids. We encourage submissions that showcase fundamental research to address challenges in enabling Smart and Connected Communities. Submissions should be targeted to one of the following five major areas: * Smart Cyber-Physical Environments and Energy/Water/Agriculture/Transportation/Healthcare/Banking Infrastructure * Security, Privacy, and Economics in Smart Environments * Smart Computing Technologies * Future Smart Computing Paradigms * Smart Human Environments, Health, Entertainment, and Social Activities * Smart Energy Management and Analytics SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Paper submissions should be no longer than 8 pages and formatted according to the IEEE conference template (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Papers must be submitted electronically, as PDF files, through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smartcomp2016). All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. All presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Selected high-quality papers will be invited to submit (with substantial extension) to a special issue of the Elsevier Journal on Pervasive and Mobile Computing (SCI indexed).
