ABOUT THE WORKSHOP 
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 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.

SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES AND PROCEEDINGS 
We are pleased to invite you to submit original contributions to SLICE 2026. This includes technical, experimental, theoretical, conceptual, or survey. All submissions will be peer-reviewed based on relevance, originality, importance, and clarity. Papers must be 6 pages maximum in IEEE format, 10pt font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format, single space, A4 format. All papers should be in PDF format and submitted electronically at ‘Paper Submission Link’. A full paper must not exceed the stated length (including all figures, tables and references). The Papers selected for presentation will appear in the MASS 2026 Proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion. Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines may be rejected without review. Also, submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered.
