Scope
====

Circular Economy is a paradigm for sustainable growth that envisions the
transformation of how modern societies design, produce and consume goods
and services towards a regenerative economic cycle. Future and emerging
technologies, such as 5G, the blockchain, and crowdsourced sensing
systems, along with innovative models and paradigms, such as the
Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, and community networks, will play an
important role in the transition to Circular Economy by enabling and
facilitating, among others, digitization (efficient asset management,
open data, etc.) and collaboration (co-innovation, shared value
creation, etc.).

Smart Circular Economy is an international inter-disciplinary workshop
focusing on the role of ICT as an enabler for Circular Economy. This
workshop will bring together scientists, researchers as well as relevant
stakeholders from the industry and local communities to share and
exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report
state-of-the-art and in-progress research lying in the intersection of
ICT and Circular Economy.

Accepted and presented papers will be included in the same proceedings
volume as the IEEE DCOSS 2020 proceedings, listed in all major
publication indexes (IEEE Xplore, DBLP, Scopus, etc)

Topics

distributed, heterogeneous smart assets.
- Technology enablers for Circular Economy - Internet of Things, 5G,
Software Defined Networks, Big Data, Analytics, Machine Learning, Neural
Networks and other.
- Smart Infrastructure - Smart Grid, Utility Networks (water, gas,
waste, etc.), Transport Networks and other.
- Crowdsensing, Internet of Things and Participatory Sensing,
Crowdsourced Systems and Architectures
- The Blockchain and other Distributed Ledger Technologies for Smart
Circular Economy -asset tracking, smart contracts, micro-transactions,
etc.
- In-depth case studies illustrating Circular Economy performance and
efficiency in terms of people, the planet and profit.
- Sharing economy and resale markets.
- Peer-to-peer and ad-hoc markets.
- Applications of Smart Circular Economy technologies in verticals such
as healthcare, transportation, energy, citizen safety, and other.
- Interdependency between Digital and Physical Networks; e.g.
communication and utility networks.
- Data-driven business models, Open Innovation, Co-creation and shared
value creation
- RFID, NFC and other technologies for asset management
- Low-Power Networks - LoRa, SigFox, NB-IoT, IPv6-enabled IoT,
Industrial IoT

- Requirements engineering for Circular Economy
- Security, Privacy and Trust for Smart Circular Economy

Sponsors
===============
EU H2020 projects:
- CE-IoT (https://www.ce-iot.eu/)
- Ideal-Cities (https://www.ideal-cities.eu/) and
- Semiotics (https://www.semiotics-project.eu/).

Submission & Proceedings
===============

Accepted and presented papers will be included in the same proceedings
volume as the IEEE DCOSS 2020 proceedings, listed in all major
publication indexes (IEEE Xplore, DBLP, Scopus, etc).

Submitted papers must be prepared in English (UK or US spelling),
following the IEEE two-column Manuscript Templates for Conference
Proceedings (available here) with a maximum length of eight (8) printed
pages including text, figures, and references. Authors may add at most
two (2) pages, but only for an appendix, i.e. these two pages contain
supplementary material only. The additional two pages will incur
overlength charges at 100USD/page. Note that the Workshop follows a
single-blind review policy.

The names and affiliations of all the authors must be presented in the
submitted manuscript. No-show papers submitted by authors who did not
present the paper in-person will not be included in the workshop
proceedings. No refund of the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show
authors. Presentations by proxies are not allowed, unless explicitly
approved by the organisers.
