SMARTCOMP 2024, the 10th edition of the premier conference on smart computing, will be held in Osaka, Japan at the end of June 2024. Smart computing is a multidisciplinary domain based on the synergistic influence of advances in sensor-based technologies, Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, edge computing, big data analytics, machine learning, cognitive computing, ambient intelligence, and artificial intelligence. Applications of smart computing can be found in various societal domains, including transportation, energy, environmental protection, smart and connected communities, healthcare, industrial systems, and entertainment. Algorithmic and systems advancements of cloud computing, mobile and pervasive computing, sensor networking, and social computing are taking smart computing to a new level while improving our ways of living. SMARTCOMP 2024 welcomes novel, cutting-edge and creative research contributions. Authors are encouraged to discuss the importance, timeliness, and significance of their work as well as limitations, future opportunities and open research directions.

========================================
Industry Track
In addition to the main research track, the conference invites innovative applications and advances in the industrial use of smart computing technology. The industry track will provide a forum to discuss novel ideas and emerging results, present innovative applications and tools, and bring about novel research questions, approaches, and directions with an industry focus. The conference industry track draws upon many industrial applications such as transportation, energy, environmental protection, resource management, healthcare, security, banking, entertainment, and social media. An important criterion for papers to be submitted to the Industry Track is the clear industrial association, either in the form of an extensive evaluation of research results in industrial use cases or the active participation of industry representatives as co-authors. Accepted papers will be published as part of a separate section of the main conference proceedings that highlights the Industry relevance of the submission.

Industry Track Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Smart Cyber-Physical Environments and Energy / Water / Agriculture/ Transportation / Healthcare / Banking Infrastructure / ...
2. Security, Privacy, and Economics in Smart Environments
3. Smart and Connected Communities across Cities
4. Smart Computing Technologies
5. Future Smart Computing Paradigms
6. Smart Human-centric Environments, Health, Entertainment, and Social Activities
7. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Smart Computing

Industry-track submission guidelines
･Industry track papers should be submitted in the Industry Track section using the following URL:https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://edas.info/N31618__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!aFqBzNqVzTSKe9GKj4UxF2OyTrvg1er960-cNHzugIqO63WgWZTlOXKQLgx-k5k-UKkKoHNmvarFdikY2Aiu0pvbO6M$
