CFP: The International Workshop on Smart Technologies (WOSTech)

The international Workshop on Smart Technologies is going to be held on 19 - 20 July, 2017 in university city, Cambridge.
It will be held in conjunction with the 2017 International Conference on Future Networks and Distributed Systems (ICFNDS 2017)

1. Introduction
The motive of Workshop on Smart Technologies (WOSTech) is to bring together computer scientists, researchers, engineers, and people from industry to exploit the world in a best possible way for mankind through smart technologies. It has the current focus on Software Defined Networking and Technology transfer towards smart global village. SDN; A game changer technology having an important transformational force, is at the forefront and going to become the backbone of application economy. It provides support on the dynamic, scalable computing and storage needs of current complex digital networks and allows adaptive control and operations of networks in a cost-effective manner. On the other hand, Internet of Things (IoT) on the rise is a mass-media hot topic and is very enthusiastic to transform the Global Village into Smart Global Village. IP-enabled devices, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, Cloud Computing, Big Data, RFID, White Space TV Spectrum, iPhone Apps and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are the most highlighted actors of IoT. These represent a compelling opportunity across a staggering array of applications covering homes, warehouses, offices, hospitals, factories, metro infrastructure, agriculture and transportation to make life easier, safer, and greener for millions of people in this smart global village.
