[DMANET] [SmartComp 2025] Call for Posters/Demos/WIP

****** SMARTCOMP 2025 - Call for Posters/Demos/WIP ******

SMARTCOMP 2025 is the 11th edition of the premier conference on Smart Computing. Smart computing is a multidisciplinary domain based on the synergistic influence of advances in sensor-based technologies, the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems (CPS), edge computing, big data analytics, machine learning, cognitive computing, and artificial intelligence. Applications of smart computing can be found in different societal domains including, but not limited to, transportation, energy, environmental protection, smart and connected communities, healthcare, banking, industrial systems, entertainment, and social media. Algorithmic and system advancements in cloud computing, mobile/pervasive computing, cyber-physical systems, sensor networking, and social computing are taking smart computing to a new dimension and improving our ways of living.

The Posters and Work in Progress (WIP) session will provide a forum to discuss novel ideas, preliminary results, present innovative applications and tools, and bring about novel research questions, approaches, and directions.

The Demo session will focus on hands-on demonstrations of preliminary works on novel platforms, implementations, and case studies. We particularly welcome demos that present innovative designs or advancements in CPS, providing attendees with the opportunity to experience cutting-edge technology firsthand.

We encourage both academia and industry to contribute by sharing valuable insights into real-world applications and innovative solutions in Smart Computing.

Industry submissions are invited to reflect practical experiences, field trials, and emerging trends from an industrial perspective, demonstrating the impact and applicability of Smart Computing technologies.

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/Demos/WIP track.

****** Submission Guidelines ******

Posters, Demos, and WIP papers should be no more than 3 pages in length, including figures,tables, and references.

All the submissions must be formatted according to the two-column IEEE proceedings template. IEEE provides corresponding formatting templates at IEEE proceedings template (ttps://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html). 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/WIP and Demos are different:

* Posters/WIP: We welcome papers up to 3 pages discussing early or ongoing research. Posters/WIP are intended to present ongoing research with a focus on novel methodologies, preliminary results, or innovative concepts that hold promise for future development, highlighting key ideas, or research directions in a concise format, fostering discussion and feedback on emerging work/applications.

* Demo: We welcome papers up to 3 pages focused on the specific component that will be demonstrated to the audience and how the attendees will be able to interact. They should also provide an overview of the background research leading up to the demo.

All submitted Posters/WIP, 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. Select Posters/WIP or Demos Track at the following link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=33045


****** Best Poster/Demo/WIP Award ******

In recognition of outstanding contributions to the field, SMARTCOMP 2025 will present the Best Posters/Demos/WIP Award to the submission that demonstrates exceptional quality, innovation, and potential impact in Smart Computing. This award will honor the work that best exemplifies forward-thinking approaches and technological advancements showcased during the Posters/Demos/WIP presentation.
