Recent booming development of Web-based technologies and mobile applications has facilitated a dramatical growth of new techniques' implementations, such as cloud computing, big data, pervasive computing, Internet of Things, and social cyber-physical systems. Enabling a smart life has become a popular research topic with an urgent demand. Therefore, the 3rd International Conference on Smart Computing and Communication (SmartCom 2018) will focus on both smart computing and communications fields and aims to collect recent academic work to improve the research and practical applications.

The scope of SmartCom 2018 covers a broad extent, from smart data to smart communications, from smart cloud computing to smart security. The conference is gathering all high-quality research/industrial papers related to smart computing and communications and targets at proposing a reference guideline for further research. SmartCom 2018 will be held at Waseda University in Japan and its conference proceedings publisher is Springer.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
Security in new paradigms of smart data
