The emergency of smart cloud computing has enabled a great improvement in multiple industries. The concept of smart has been paid a high attention by both researchers and practitioners from different perspectives. The approach of achieving smart is being sought to reaching diverse aims, such as high performance computing, energy-aware solutions, green computing, and artificial intelligence. As a crucial technical trend, smart cloud is considered a critical dimension of cloud computing implementations and growths. Gathering contemporary research achievements in the field is remarkably significant for the research.

We aim to collect the latest achievements and exchange research ideas in the domains of intelligent data and security at this academic event. Joining SSC 2017 will be a great opportunity for your to reach academics, professionals, and vendors who have the same research interests as yours. IEEE SSC 2017 is the next edition of a series of successful academic events, including SSC 2015 (New York, USA) and SSC 2016 (Beijing, China). IEEE SSC 2017 will be held at Columbia University in New York City.
