  The skipper CCD is a special type of charge coupled device in which the
readout noise can be reduced to sub-electron levels by averaging independent
measurements of the same charge. Thus the charge in the pixels can be
determined by counting the exact number of electrons. The total readout time is
proportional to the number of measurements of the charge in each pixel. For
some applications this time may be too long; however, researchers usually are
interested only on certain region within the matrix of pixels. In this paper we
present the development of a smart skipper readout technique that allows the
user to specify regions of interest of the CCD matrix where an arbitrary (high)
number of measurements of the same charge can taken to obtain the desired noise
level, and far less measurements are performed in those regions that are less
interesting to the researcher, therefore reducing the total readout time.
