==================================================================================

Scope:

The scope of SaCoNet is to deal with the growing smart communications fields embedded in complex systems for a wide variety of applications in the future generation of network and cloud computing technologies. SaCoNet focuses on how smart communications and ICT networks impact not only on network technologies (protocols, equipment, algorithms, power, MANET, VANET, etc.), but also on creating collective and individual awareness about the multiple sustainability threats which our society is facing nowadays at social, environmental and political levels, considering a wide family of applications (healthcare, underwater, vehicular, robotic, economics, hand industries, Oil and Gas industries, etc). Current trends are to propose new autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control future emerging networks: sky of clouds, Fogs, Internet of things, Smart Grids, Smart Cities, Healthcare, wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons. Another key challenge arises at business level, since existing models do not cover added value services. SaCoNeT solicits papers dealing with Smart Communications in (not limited to):

- Next Generation Networks (5G networks, Fog/Cloud-based mobile architectures, SDN, Device- to-Device Communications, etc.)

-  Ad hoc, Sensor, Surveillance and Vehicular Networks (IoT, IoV, Context aware networks, Energy and Harvesting optimization, Real-time network, etc.)

- Autonomic and Robot based Networks (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 scalable network applications, E-Health, Telemedicine, Oil and Gas industries, etc.)
