ICACS24 Call for papers - Registration is FREE (see details)

The 2nd International Conference of Applied Computing & Smart Cities  (ICACS24) welcomes researchers to submit papers field of Applied Computing and Smart Cities. The conference will be held in the City of Erbil, Iraq. 

Cities stand to benefit the most from connecting people, process, data, and things. A Smart City exploits sustainable information and communication technologies to improve quality of life, health, education, and also the performance of urban services for citizens. 

The Internet of Everything (IoE) has witnessed rapid progress in recent years. This technology provides Internet connectivity between objects and cyber space. In order to promote the rapid deployment of this technology, hardware manufacturing, software industry and networking capabilities are acting as game changers.

Smart Cities bring together the IoE technology and city infrastructure for better quality of life in areas such as energy usage, healthcare, environment, water, transportation, etc. IoE large scale deployment enables data sensing, data acquisition and heterogeneous networking. The connectivity of billions of IoE devices opens many security vulnerabilities and threats that must be detected and mitigated. There is a significant interest to enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques – that incorporate meta-heuristics, machine learning and optimization algorithms for intelligent IoE communications and networking management.

The conference is to take place at Knowledge University campus in the city of Erbil, Iraq. Remote participation via video conferencing is also possible.

All accepted papers will be published in a proceeding book with DOI.

Selected Papers will be considered for publication in either
Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE), or
Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNSS), 
by Springer
