 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 the 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 the 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 the 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
