The EAI Mobility IoT 2026, 12th EAI International Conference on Mobility, IoT and Smart Cities, aims to develop discussion and review of cutting-edge technologies and innovations. This multidisciplinary event convenes researchers, industry experts, and policymakers to explore the convergence of
intelligent mobility systems, connected infrastructures, and urban digital transformation, shaping the future of our cities.

• Key themes within the Internet of Things (IoT) domain include, but not limited
  to:
  
• Edge AI and TinyML enable real-time, energy-efficient intelligence on low-power devices.
• Secure-by-design frameworks and lightweight cryptographic solutions.
• Novel approaches to secure communication protocols for IoT networks.
• Privacy-preserving data analytics techniques in smart environments. 
• Frameworks for vulnerability assessment and risk management in IoT
  ecosystems
• AI-driven analytics and IoT sensing collaborate to enhance autonomous
  and predictive systems across various sectors such as smart homes
  and healthcare.
• Machine learning applications in predictive maintenance across
  industries.
  
  

The Mobility track highlights (but not limited to:):

• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) – Utilizing data from vehicles and infrastructure to optimize traffic flow, safety, and environmental outcomes. 
• Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) – Employing V2X
  communication and automation to transform urban transportation.
• Ethical implications and safety challenges in autonomous driving
  technologies.
•  Real-time traffic prediction models using big data analytics and
  multimodal data fusion.
•  Integration of ITS with smart city infrastructure for enhanced mobility.
• Use of AI to improve incident detection and response times.
  
  

In the Smart Cities theme, topics include, but not limited to: 

• Sustainable Urban Infrastructure – Integrating digital tools into energy, water, and waste management for improved efficiency and resilience. 

• Urban Digital Twins – Simulating and optimizing city operations in real-time.

• Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) – Connecting infrastructure and human behavior for adaptive urban services.
• Data Governance and Ethics – Ensuring responsible, transparent, and equitable data usage.
• Integration of real-time data streams for dynamic city modeling. Enhancements in citizen engagement through interactive digital twin interfaces.
• Development of ethical frameworks for data sharing in smart cities.

• Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal (IF: 2.3)

4. Click the ‘Submit Paper’ link within the track and follow the instructions.

• All papers must be submitted in English. 
• Previously published work cannot be submitted, nor can it be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. These papers will be rejected without review. 
• Papers must follow the Springer formatting guidelines (available in the Author’s Kit section). 
• Authors must read and agree to the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.
• As per new EU accessibility requirements, going forward, all figures, illustrations, tables, and images should have descriptive text accompanying them. Please refer to the document below, which will assist you in crafting Alternative Text (Alt Text)

HOW TO WRITE GOOD ALT TEXT

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

• Regular papers should be up to 12-20 pages in length.
• Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.

Papers must be formatted using the Springer LNICST Authors’ Kit.

Instructions and templates are available from Springer’s LNICST homepage:

• LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates (zip)
• Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)

Please make sure that your paper adheres to the format as specified in the instructions and templates.

When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

• a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
• an archive file (e.g. zip, tar.gz) containing the both a PDF copy of your paper and LaTeX or Word source material prepared according to the above guidelines.
