As a novel technology, cloud computing implementations have been booming in
recent years, which dramatically attract attention from the industry,
academia, and education. SmartCloud 2018 aims to collect recent academic
achievements in novel techniques, developments, empirical studies, and new
developments in cloud computing. The concentration of SmartCloud 2018 is
enabling cloud computing to become an efficient approach for delivering
intelligent services and forming advanced distributed systems, which are
aligned with other updated technologies, such as data mining and big data.
Empowering the existing infrastructure by using cloud computing techniques
has been considered a dramatically significant issue for both academia and
industry, which implies that intelligent cloud computing has a giant demand
in multiple fields, from telehealth to e-learning, from vehicular systems
to mobile applications. Therefore, our mission is to empower cloud
computing the capability of "smart" by providing a forum for scientists,
engineers, researchers, and students to discuss and exchange their new
ideas, novel results, work in progress and experience on all aspects of
smart computing and cloud computing.

SmartCloud 2018 aims to collect recent academic achievements in novel
techniques, developments, empirical studies, and new developments in cloud
computing. Innovative technical applications in clouds are highly
encouraged. The objective of SmartCloud 2018 is to provide a forum for
