*CFP: International Conference on Smart Computing and Communication*

*(SmartCom 2016)*

December 17th-19th, 2016, Shenzhen, China

http://csis.pace.edu/BigDataSecurity/sc2016/index.html

Recent booming development of Web-based technologies and mobile
applications has facilitated a dramatically growth of new techniques'
implementations, such as cloud computing, big data, pervasive computing,
Internet of Things, and social cyber-physical systems. Enabling a smart
life has become a popular research topic with an urgent demand. Therefore,
the International Conference on Smart Computing and Communication will
focus on both smart computing and communications fields and aims to collect
recent academic work to improve the research and practical applications.

The scope of SmartCom 2016 covers a broad extent, from smart data to smart
communications, from smart cloud computing to smart security. The
conference is gathering all high-quality research/industrial papers related
to smart computing and communications and targets at proposing a reference
guideline for further research. SmartCom 2016 is hosted by Springer, will
be held at Shenzhen University in China.

*Special issues:*

The accepted papers have to be presented orally at the conference and will
be indexed by EI. Selected best papers will be recommended to the special
issues of well-regarded SCI journals. We will also select top accepted
