1) JOINT CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS

International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP) is the premier conference on smart computing. 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, and artificial intelligence. 

Following the tradition of the previous editions, SMARTCOMP2024 will host a number of workshops before the main conference sharing the same submission date and proceedings.

Submission Guidelines 
Paper submissions should be no longer than 6 pages and formatted according to the IEEE conference template. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via EDAS. For further instructions on how to prepare your manuscript, please consult the IEEE Author Digital Toolbox.

2) CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMOS

https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://smartcomp.w.waseda.jp/call-for-posters-demos/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!bpMfy0aYoxq1ehGiQBEudfFUEYx9aSOsIjNb1KIDtEU3mbT9xWd5AHy84IvuZO6TQCUAbJuPX46LnfrcPrgwTyQd_Wo$ 

The Posters session 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. The Demo session will particularly provide a forum to discuss preliminary works, platform design and implementation, verification and validation, empirical case studies, and other work that has the potential to advance the state of the art in CPS.
Authors of papers that received favorable reviews but could not be accepted to the Main track may be offered the opportunity to publish their submitted work in the Posters or Demo tracks.

[Submission Guidelines]
Posters and Demo papers should be no more than 3 pages in length, including figures, tables, and references and formatted according to the two-column IEEE proceedings template. IEEE provides corresponding formatting templates at IEEE proceedings template. IEEE provides corresponding formatting templates at IEEE conference template. Make sure to use the conference mode of the template, i.e., LaTeX users must use the conference option of the IEEEtran document class.
While the submission format is the same, the goals for Posters and Demo are different:

* Posters: we welcome short papers discussing early or ongoing research activities for Posters. Novel approaches and preliminary results are especially appreciated.

* Demo papers: they should naturally focus explicitly on the component that will be demonstrated to the audience and how the attendees will be able to interact. They should also contain an overview of the background research leading up to the Demo.
All submitted Posters and Demos will be subject to peer reviews by SMARTCOMP Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the conference to present the work.
Papers must be submitted electronically as a single PDF file on US Letter size paper (not A4), with all fonts embedded (the PDF-A standard complies with that), through EDAS.
