MS 2015 Special Track - Mobile Services for Smart Cities

Smart Cities are emerging as a priority for research and development in the U.S. and around the world due to growing global needs to create more livable urban spaces. Smart Cities require more than just technological solutions; they must be human-centric and built for the sustained, optimal livelihoods of their inhabitants. The vision of Smart Cities therefore calls for collaborations among engineers, architects, social scientists, and educators. Mobile services will play a key role in Smart Cities R&D. IEEE MS 2015 – MSSC (Mobile Services for Smart Cities) will provide a great platform to allow researchers and professionals in the industry and academia to exchange their latest research results and development activities on Mobile Services for Smart Cities. The primary objective is to share research ideas and results, emerging industry technologies, and latest advances.

Mobile Services for Smart Cities (MSSC) is a special track with a separate paper submission and review dates. However, the MSSC papers will become part of the main track, thus the format and quality of MSSC papers are expected to be consistent with that of main track papers.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper.

MSSC Special Track Important Dates:
Full Paper Submission Due Date: May 5, 2015
Decision Notification (Electronic): May 10, 2015
Accepted Paper Camera-Ready Copy to the IEEE FTP Site Due Date: May 15, 2015

Research papers MUST properly cite related work (see Literature Recommendations section) and clearly indicate their contributions to the field. All topics relevant to mobile services are of interest. Please use the MS 2015 Conference Management System for MS-MSSC Track to submit your papers to MS 2015 MSSC Special Track.

Submitted manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages and REQUIRED to be formatted using the IEEE Proceedings template. Unformatted papers and papers beyond 8 pages will not be reviewed. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF or Word format) is required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper preparation and submission can be found at Submission Section.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper.
