Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in the current and future generation of information, network, and communication developing and applications. Smart IoT is an exciting emerging research field that has great potential to transform both our understanding of fundamental computer science principles and our standard of living. IoT is being employed in more and more areas making "Everything Smart", such as smart home, smart city, intelligent transportation, environment monitoring, security systems, and advanced manufacturing. International Conference on Smart Internet of Things (SmartIoT) focuses on these challenges.

The 9th IEEE International Conference on Smart Internet of Things (SmartIoT 2025) will be held on 17-20, November 2025 at Sydney, Australia. The primary goal of SmartIoT 2025 is to exchange, share and discuss the latest research, theories and applications for Smart Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Prospective authors are invited to submit original research papers, which propose new methodologies, propose new research directions and discuss approaches or schemes for current existing issues. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

* Track 1. IoT Sensing, monitoring, networking and routing

* Track 2. Big data analysis and Cloud computing

* Track 3. Edge computing/Fog computing

* Track 4. Smart cities, intelligent transportation and internet of vehicles

* Track 5. Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and evolutionary Computing

* Track 6. Social networks, multimedia and mobile computing

* Track 7. Blockchain and emerging research or Technologies

* Track 8. Industrial 4.0 and Industrial IoT

* Track 9. Control and decision making for smart IoT or CPS

* Track 10. Security and privacy for smart IoT or CPS


Papers need to be prepared according to the IEEE format, and submitted in PDF format via the SmartIoT 2025 submission site:

https://ieee-smartiot.org/submission.jsp
Accepted and presented papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by CS Press (indexed by EI). At least one author of accepted papers MUST register and present their work at the conference; otherwise, their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of CS and EI after the conference. Authors of 50% papers will be invited to submit their paper to a special issue in a SCI-indexed journal. Information about these journal special issues are available on the website.
