Scope
Circular Economy is a paradigm for sustainable growth that envisions the transformation of how modern societies design, produce and consume goods and services towards a regenerative economic cycle. Future and emerging technologies, such as 5G and 6G networks, Distributed Ledger Technologies, and crowdsourcing systems, along with innovative models and paradigms, such as the Internet of Things, Industry 5.0, and community networks, will play an important role in the transition to Circular Economy. The development of relevant international standards and policy-making initiatives, such as the European Green Deal, will also facilitate the transition.
Smart Circular Economy is an international workshop focusing on the role of ICT as an enabler for Circular Economy. This workshop brings together scientists, researchers, as well as relevant stakeholders from the industry and local communities to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research lying in the intersection of ICT and Circular Economy.
DCOSS-IoT 2024 and its sattelite events are technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP).
SmaCE'24 accepted and presented papers will appear in IEEE Xplore and all major publication indexes (DBLP, Scopus, etc.).
Paper submission deadline has been extended to March 12, 2024 AoE
