<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Smart health, smart cities, smart
industries, smart agriculture, smart environment, smart transportation, smart
homes, smart education, smart business, smart energy, smart grids, and so on
are the components that aid the mankind for smart living. However, they
require, typically, design and development of innovative technologies,
standards, and protocols apart from their architectures and frameworks. IoT has
emerged as an extension to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with low-cost and
Internet-enabled solution for connecting and accessible anything from anywhere.
In addition, such smartness derived due to the artificial intelligence yields
in production of tremendous amounts of data. The data increases as a
baby-boomer requiring efficient tools to analyze and extract suitable
inferences for services in order to extend smart living. Cloud, Edge and Big
Data acquired enormous attention in the light of massive data storage and
analytics. With the large cohorts of gazette shrewdness and hi-tech population,
the infrastructure, service delivery becomes expensive and difficult to manage
for cities and governments. Automating systems through utilization of IoT,
Cloud, Edge, Big Data, and M2M tools and technologies demonstrate great
opportunity to reduce operating costs significantly, utilize those savings more
effectively, and provide better services to communities for smarter living.
This workshop provides a platform to the researchers to publish their
innovative ideas, extensive analysis of their comparative studies, critical
review of existing research and position papers in the above areas to meet the
smart living requirements. The topics of interest include but are not limited
to:</span></p>
