SMARTCOMP 2023 is the 9th edition of the conference and will be held at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, hosted by Vanderbilt University Institute for Software Integrated Systems. The conference venue is at Vanderbilt University's Featheringill Hall, 400 24th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37212.

There is both a research track and an industrial track.

For the research track, SMARTCOMP 2023 solicits submissions that address the fundamental questions of smart computing, namely how to design and build scalable and reliable smart computing systems, and how to use computing technology for resource sustainability to improve the human experience. Topics of interest include---but are not limited to---the following:

Emerging Smart Computing Paradigms
Evaluation Studies and Datasets of Smart Environments
Algorithms for Smart Computing
AI and Machine Learning in Smart Computing
Security, Privacy, and Trust in Smart Computing
Smart and Usable Security and Privacy
Fairness and Socio-technical Aspects of Smart Computing
Middleware for Smart Systems
Mobile and Ubiquitous Smart Systems
Cloud, Edge, and Fog based Smart Computing Platforms
Data Architectures and Analytics for Smart Computing
Computing for Smart and Connected Communities
Smart Green Computing
Distributed Sensing and Computation
Social Computing and Smart Systems
Wearable Computing and IoT
Architectures and Software for Smart Computing
Novel Communication Paradigms (e.g., 5G/6G, VLC, DSA) in Smart Computing

Backscatter Communicating Smart Computing Platforms
Quantum Computing in Smart Systems
Interdisciplinary Approaches to Smart Computing
Applications of Smart Computing:
— Healthcare and Digital Epidemiology
— Agriculture
— Smart Cities
— Power Systems
— Transportation
— Water Distribution
— Manufacturing
— Workspaces


In addition to the main research track, the conference invites innovative
applications and advances in the industrial use of the smart computing
technology. The industry track will provide a forum to discuss novel ideas and
emerging results, presenting innovative applications and tools, and bring
about novel research questions, approaches, and directions, with an industry
focus. The conference industry track draws upon many industrial
applications such as transportation, energy, environmental protection,
resource management, healthcare, security, banking, entertainment, and
social media. An important criterion for papers to be submitted to the
Industry Track is clear industrial association, either in the form of extensive
evaluation of research results in industrial use cases or active participation of
industry representatives as co-authors. Accepted papers will be published as
part of a separate section of the main conference proceedings that highlights
the Industry relevance of the submission. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Smart Cyber-Physical Environments and Energy / Water / Agriculture / Transportation / Healthcare / Banking Infrastructure / ...
Security, Privacy, and Economics in Smart Environments
Smart and Connected Communities across Cities
Smart Computing Technologies
Future Smart Computing Paradigms
Smart Human-centric Environments, Health, Entertainment, and Social Activities
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Smart Computing
