The Third International Conference of Smart Systems and Emerging Technologies provides an excellent forum, which contributes new results in all areas of Artificial Intelligence, Internet-of-Things, Emerging Technologies, Unmanned Systems, Communication and Networking, and Cyber-Security in line with recent technological advances across these disciplines.

Its goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to report and discuss latest results and breakthoughs on smart systems and technologies related to computer science, information technology, and engineering as well as interdisciplinary research and applications.

The conference focuses on all technical and practical aspects of Smart Systems and Emerging Technologies with applications to real-world and challenging scientific problems.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Full papers solicited:  SMARTTECH 2024 seeks to promote research that carries a strong conceptual message (e.g., introducing a new concept or model, opening a new line of inquiry/research within traditional or interdisciplinary areas, or introducing new techniques or new applications of known methods). SMARTTECH 2024 welcomes all submissions, whether aligned with the current theory of computation research directions or deviating from them in an innovative or scientifically or technically defiant way.
• Posters - represent short papers (maximum 4 pages plus references, 10 pt font in Springer format) that are describing preliminary or interim results on hot topics related to Smart Systems and Emerging Technologies. These papers will be presented in a poster session.
