Join us at the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Smart City
Smart cities (also smarter cities) use digital technologies to enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. Developing a smart city to better support growing urban population is a global and complex challenge and involves interdisciplinary fields. Key ‘smart’ sectors include transportation, smart building, energy, health care, and water systems.
IEEE SmartCity-2026 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.
SmartCity-2026 will be held in Luoyang, China, a historic city renowned for its rich cultural heritage and as one of the ancient capitals of China. The city features world-famous landmarks such as the Longmen Grottoes and the White Horse Temple, offering an inspiring environment that blends tradition with modern innovation.
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to SmartCity-2026. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore, subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. Authors of selected best papers will be invited to extend their work for special issues of prestigious journals planned in conjunction with the conference.

Paper Submission
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website in PDF format. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 8 pages in IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (or up to 10 pages with a page over length charge if accepted), including tables, figures, references, and appendices. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation, assessed by at least three reviewers. All submitted papers will be judged through double-blind reviews, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to preserve the anonymity of your submission while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. Papers that do not conform to our double-blind submission policies will be rejected without review.
Paper Publication
Papers accepted by IEEE SmartCity 2026 conference will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference; otherwise, the paper will not be included in the proceedings. All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and EI. Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be invited for submission to a special issue.
