IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SMART COMPUTING (SMARTCOMP 2020)

Bologna, Italy 22-25 June 2020

http://www.smart-comp.org





Call for workshop proposals

-------------------------------

Continuing the well-established tradition of this series of symposia, SMARTCOMP 2020

will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia

to exchange ideas and present results of on-going research in most state-of-the-art areas

of computers and communications. This year, special focus will be on the challenging issues

related to all the opportunities of computing, sensing and communication in the era of the

integration of Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, and Big Data.



The Workshops Committee of SMARTCOMP 2020 invites proposals for half or full day workshops

affiliated with the conference, on topics of interest to SMARTCOMP 2020 attendees. The

purpose of these workshops is to create new opportunities for presenting novel ideas in a

less formal and possibly more sharply focused way than at the conference itself.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, Internet of Things, Software-Defined

Networking, Big Data, Cloud Computing, M2M communications and Smart Grid. Papers presented

in the SMARTCOMP 2020 workshops will be included in the conference proceedings and submitted

for publication in IEEE Xplore®.





Submission Guidelines

-------------------------------

Each workshop proposal must include the following:

* the name of the workshop;

* the names, addresses, and short bios of the organizers;

* a brief description (up to one page long) of the technical issues that the workshop's focus

will be on, and the reasons why the workshop is of interest at this time;

* the names of potential Program Committee members;

* the planned format of the workshop, including a strategy to facilitate lively discussions

and involvement of the attendees;

* if a keynote speech is included in the planned format of the workshop, the name(s) of the

potential keynote speaker(s);

* if applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop, including dates, organizers,

number of submitted and accepted papers, and number of attendees;
