5th IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2019)

12-14 June 2019 | Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City, Arlington, VA | http://www.smart-comp.org/

SMARTCOMP is the premier conference on smart computing. Smart computing is based on the synergistic combination  of  advances  in  Sensor-based  technologies,  the  Internet  of  Things  (IoT),  Cyber-Physical Systems,  Edge  computing,  Big  Data  analytics,  Machine  Learning,  Cognitive  Computing,  and  Artificial Intelligence.

Smart computing is a multidisciplinary domain. Applications of smart computing can be found in different societal domains including, but not limited to, transportation, energy, environmental protection, smart and connected communities, healthcare, banking, entertainment, and social media. Algorithmic and system advancements   of   cloud   computing, mobile/pervasive   computing,   cyber-physical   systems,   sensor networking and social computing are taking smart computing to a new dimension and improving our ways of living.

The IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP) celebrates this year its 5th edition in Washington D.C., USA, on June 12-14. Over the years, SMARTCOMP has become one of the premier conferences in the field of smart computing.
