<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:DengXian"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The fast development of new computing and networking technologies
is unleashing a broad set of innovative applications and a variety of
industrial verticals, e.g., industry 4.0, healthcare and transportation. Big
data from computing, networking and the application services are valuable
assets for improving the Quality-of-Service (QoS) of computing and networking
infrastructures and the Quality-of-Experience (QoE) of application services.
How to effectively leverage big data in a smart way, incorporating
computational intelligence in networks, edge/cloud computing and services, is a
long-standing research question. It has received tremendous attention from both
academia and industry, but still needs innovations to enable smarter computing,
networking, and services.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">SmartCNS aims to address the important problems and
challenges caused by the network and computational complexity, ultra-high QoE
demands, and diverse services. The conference provides a leading-edge forum to
bring together scientists, researchers and engineers in different disciplines
to share their experience and ideas and exchange their novel work regarding the
state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of smart computing,
networking and services.</span></p>

be hosted in Chengdu, China, the capital of southwestern China's Sichuan
province. The city is also home to the famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant
Panda Breeding, a conservation center where visitors can view endangered giant
pandas in a natural habitat. All accepted papers are expected to be included in
IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of
selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their
contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in
conjunction with the conference.</span></p>
