Publication
We welcome both survey and original articles. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into the IEEE Xplore Database which is indexed by EI. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to top international journals in these areas.
All manuscripts shall be written in English, using the IEEE conference template (double column, size 10). Given the fact that technology advancement in these areas is so fast, we also welcome work-in-progress papers presenting valuable and latest progresses of ongoing projects. The length for different types of papers is: 8 pages for full papers presenting final results, 6 pages for short papers containing preliminary results, and 4 pages for work-in-progress papers.
Scope
We welcome original and survey articles about the latest advances of technology. The results can be state-of-the-art, requirements, fundamental theories, models, frameworks, algorithms, methodologies, platforms, protocols, prototypes, testbeds, field trials, case studies/stories, field experiences, standardization efforts, regulatory activities, education and training innovations, etc. The application areas include aeronautics and astronautics, agriculture, automotive, building, construction, energy, finance, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, process industry, power, transportation, etc.
