Recent booming development of Web-based technologies and mobile applications has facilitated a dramatical growth of new techniques' implementations, such as cloud computing, big data, pervasive computing, Internet of Things, and social cyber-physical systems. Enabling a smart life has become a popular research topic with an urgent demand. Therefore, the International Conference on Smart Computing and Communication (SmartCom 2016) will focus on both smart computing and communications fields and aims to collect recent academic work to improve the research and practical applications.

The scope of SmartCom 2016 covers a broad extent, from smart data to smart communications, from smart cloud computing to smart security. The conference is gathering all high-quality research/industrial papers related to smart computing and communications and targets at proposing a reference guideline for further research. SmartCom 2016 is hosted by Springer, will be held at Shenzhen University in China.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
Security in new paradigms of smart data
Cyber hacking, next generation fire wall of smart data
Cyber monitoring and incident response in smart data
Digital forensics in intelligent data
