SCOPE 
----------
The main scope of the SaCoNet conference deals with the ever 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 affect protocols, 
global design, equipment, algorithms, paradigms, power consumption, etc., for a 
large family of applications (Healthcare, Underwater, Vehicular, Robotic, 
Economics, etc.) using different network technologies (Sensor Networks, MANET, 
VANET, Ubiquitous, Virtualization, Data centers, etc.). Indeed, autonomous 
applications embedded in complex configurations and dynamic environments, have 
suffered a rapid expansion from classical applications where different modular 
devices, actuators and sensors interact closely. This expansion considerably 
impacted on the control of a given system in a centralized manner. Current 
research trends propose new autonomic architecture
 schemes that manage and control future emerging networks: Sky of clouds, 
Internet of things, Smart Grids, Smart Cities, etc. In parallel, the evolution 
of Internet usages appeals for higher quality guarantees in order to support 
stringent services. In this context, for example, Healthcare and wellness 
applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, or 
habitat monitoring in a smart environment, constitutes some of the potential 
scenarios of convergence between autonomous systems and smart network 
technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands, 
accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic 
design, portability, acceptability, power support and efficiency, control 
theory, etc. In addition to achieve portability and low-power systems, which 
are major challenges that limit substantially the efficiency of any autonomous 
system based application; smart network paradigms should also
 take into account issues related to cost, economic aspects, scalability and 
security. Another key challenge arises at business level, since existing models 
do not cover added value services. Before investing in these infrastructures, 
providers must be ensured to perceive incentive compensations. This conference 
will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and 
smart network technologies devoted for different applications and a large 
variety of domains. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, test-beds, 
and protocols will elicit particular attention.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE 
-----------------------------------------
The conference accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Prospective 
authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page standard IEEE conference style paper 
to this conference (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS 
submission system.

One additional page may be allowed but with an additional publication fee. 
Accepted papers must be presented at the Conference. The presenter must 
register for the Conference before the deadline for author registration. 
Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of 
the paper from the Conference proceedings and the program. 

All papers selected for publication will be included in the IEEE digital 
library.
