Welcome Message
The fast development of new computing and networking technologies is unleashing a broad set of innovative applications and a variety of industrial verticals, e.g., industry 4.0, healthcare and transportation. Big data from computing, networking and the application services are valuable assets for improving the Quality-of-Service (QoS) of computing and networking infrastructures and the Quality-of-Experience (QoE) of application services. How to effectively leverage big data in a smart way, incorporating computational intelligence in networks, edge/cloud computing and services, is a long-standing research question. It has received tremendous attention from both academia and industry, but still needs innovations to enable smarter computing, networking, and services. SmartCNS aims to address the important problems and challenges caused by the network and computational complexity, ultra-high QoE demands, and diverse services. The conference provides a leading-edge forum to bring together scientists, researchers and engineers in different 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-2024 is planned to be hosted in Chengdu, China. The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.

Paper Submission Guideline
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (https://conf.smartconf24.org/smartcns2024) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Use the standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at: IEEE templates. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over length charge) including figures and references.
Once accepted, the papers will be included into the conference proceedings to be published by IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS). CPS enforces a "no show" policy and only papers that are presented by an author will be submitted for inclusion in the digital libraries. At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper. If required, online presentation can be supported. While all CPS conferences will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore and the CSDL, all conference proceedings must meet IEEE's quality standards, and IEEE reserves the right not to publish any proceedings that do not meet these standards.
