SmartCNS-2019

Introduction

With the rapid development of advanced artificial intelligence tools and smart mobile devices, the emerging innovative applications and services across a variety of industrial verticals, e.g., industry 4.0, healthcare, autonomous driving, and smart city demand significant revolution of smart computing, networking and communication technologies. SmartCNS-2019 aims to address the important problems and challenges faced by smart computing, networking and services. The conference provides a leading-edge forum to bring together scientists, researchers and engineers in related disciplines to share their experience and ideas and exchange their novel work regarding the state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of smart computing, networking and services. SmartCNS-2019 will be held in Shenyang, China, 21-23 October 2019, following the successful organization of its previous related series including SmartNEM-2018 (Exeter, UK, June 2018) WNM-2017 (Exeter, UK, June 2017), WNM-2016 (Sydney, Australia, December 2016), WNM-2015 (Liverpool, UK, October 2015), WNM-2014 (Dalian, China, August 2014), WNM-2013 (Melbourne, Australia, July 2013), WNM-2012 (Liverpool, UK, June 2012), WNM-2011 (Changsha, China, November 2011), and HMWN-2010 (Bradford, UK, June 2010). Topics of particular interests include the following tracks, but are not limited to: 1) smart computing, 2) smart networking, and 3) smart services.
