Apologiesfor multiple postings. The7th International Conference on Smart Communications in NetworkTechnologies (SaCoNeT’18,Technically cosponsored by IEEE and IEEE ComSoc) https://saconet.tincnet.fr/ La Gazelle d’Or (five stars Resort & SPA- http://www.hotel-lagazelledor.com/),El Oued, Algeria, October 27-31, 2018.Underthe Steering Committee : AbdelhamidMellouk,University Paris-Est Créteil, France; Mohamed Atiquzzaman, University ofOklahoma, USA; Scott Fowler, University of Linköping, Sweden; HossamHassanein, University of Queens, Canada; Xavi Masip-Bruin,University of Catalonia, Spain; Mohammad Obaidat, University of Jordan,Jordan; Sherali Zeadally, University of Kentucky, USA; Albert Zomaya,University of Sydney, Australia ==================================================================================Scope:The scope of SaCoNet is to deal with the growing smartcommunications fields embedded in complex systems for a wide variety ofapplications in the future generation of network and cloud computingtechnologies. SaCoNet focuses on how smart communications and ICT networksimpact not only on network technologies (protocols, equipment, algorithms,power, MANET, VANET, etc.), but also on creating collective and individualawareness about the multiple sustainability threats which our society is facingnowadays at social, environmental and political levels, considering a widefamily of applications (healthcare, underwater, vehicular, robotic, economics,hand industries, Oil and Gas industries, etc). Current trends are to proposenew autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control future emergingnetworks: sky of clouds, Fogs, Internet of things, Smart Grids, Smart Cities,Healthcare, wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assistingdependent persons. Another key challenge arises at business level, sinceexisting models do not cover added value services. SaCoNeT solicits papersdealing with Smart Communications in (not limited to): - Next Generation Networks (5Gnetworks, Fog/Cloud-based mobile architectures, SDN, Device- to-DeviceCommunications, etc.)- Ad hoc, Sensor,Surveillance and Vehicular Networks (IoT, IoV, Context aware networks, Energyand Harvesting optimization, Real-time network, etc.)- Autonomic and Robot basedNetworks (Design autonomous robotic systems, Assistive robotic technology,Autonomous manipulation using service robots, etc.) - Applications and client overview (Data mining /Image processing in networks,Software engineering in networks, Big data analysis, Secure and scalablenetwork applications, E-Health, Telemedicine, Oil and Gas industries, etc.) Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit original papers with unpublished material andnot currently submitted for consideration elsewhere via EDAS on the followinglink: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=24912. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least threereviewers. All accepted and presented papers will be submitted to be indexed byIEEE digital library (IEEE Xplore).
