INTRODUCTION
=============

Developing a smart city to better support growing urban population is a
global and complex challenge and involves interdisciplinary fields. IEEE
SmartCity-2018 is aiming to be a premier international conference in smart
city. This conference is to bring together computer scientists, industrial
engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental or
theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case
studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of smart city include all
aspects of smart city with emphasis on algorithms, systems, models,
compilers, architectures, tools, design methodologies, test and
applications.

SmartCity-2018 will be hosted in Exeter, the capital city of Devon and
provides the county with a central base for education, medicine, religion,
commerce and culture. The city is also home to the magnificent Exeter
Cathedral, which dates back to Norman times. Exeter is also ideally placed
to base a trip to branch out visiting places such as the famous Dartmoor
National Park and the unspoilt beaches of the North and South Devon
coastlines.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to SmartCity-2018.
All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be
indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will
be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues
of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.
