Call for Workshop Proposals

Continuing the well-established tradition of this series of symposia, SMARTCOMP 2022 will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of on-going research in most state-of-the-art areas of computers and communications. Special emphasis will be on the challenging issues arising from opportunities of computing, sensing and communication in the era of the integration of the Internet of Things, Sensing, and Mobility with applications to smart applications in among others Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, Telemonitoring, and E-health.
The Workshops Committee of SMARTCOMP 2022 invites proposals for half or full day workshops affiliated with the conference, held in Helsinki during June 20-24, 2022 on topics of interest to SMARTCOMP 2022 attendees. The purpose of these workshops is to create new opportunities for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and more sharply focused context than at the conference itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, Internet of Things, Software-Defined Networking, Big Data, Cloud/Fog/Edge Computing, Mobility Management, E-health, Blockchain, and Cyber Security. Papers presented in the SMARTCOMP 2022 workshops will be included in the conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore.
