PICom 2018 - 16th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing (PICom 2018)

The 16th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and
Computing (PICom 2018)
http://cyber-science.org/2018/picom/
Athens, Greece, 12-15 August 2018
Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Technical Committee
of Scalable Computing (TCSC)
===
INTRODUCTION
===
Over the last fifty years, computational intelligence has evolved from
logic-based artificial intelligence, nature-inspired soft computing,
and social-oriented agent technology to cyber-physical integrated
ubiquitous intelligence towards Pervasive Intelligence (PI). The
International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing is
intended to cover all kinds of these intelligent paradigms as well as
their applications in various pervasive computing domains. PICom-2018
is the conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing, previously
held as PCC (Las Vegas, USA, 2003 and 2004), PSC (Las Vegas, USA,
2005), PCAC (Vienna, Austria, 2006, and Niagara Falls, Canada, 2007),
IPC-2007 (Jeju, Korea, December 2007), IPC-2008 (Sydney, Australia,
December 2008), and since 2009 as the name PICom. IEEE PICom 2018 will
be held on 12-15 August 2018 in Athens, Greece, co-located with IEEE
CyberSciTech 2018, IEEE DASC 2018 and DataCom 2018. It aims to bring
together computer scientists and engineers, to discuss and exchange
experimental and theoretical results, work-in-progress, novel designs,
and test-environments or test-beds in the important areas of Pervasive
Intelligence and Computing.

IMPORTANT DATES
===
Workshop Proposal Due: Feb. 10, 2018
Regular Paper Submission Due: Mar. 30, 2018
Wksp/SS/Poster Paper Due: May 05, 2018
Authors Notification: May 20, 2018
Camera-ready Submission: June 15, 2018
PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE
===
Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has
not previously been published or under review in any other venue.
Papers should be prepared in IEEE CS Proceedings format and submitted
via EDAS systems (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=23155).
Research papers should explore a specific technology problem and
propose a complete solution to it, with experimental results. Authors
can submit either Full (8 pages) or Short (4 pages) Research papers.
Some papers originally submitted as full can be accepted as short
papers during the review process. In such cases, the authors will need
to reduce the paper to four pages when preparing the camera-ready
version. Once accepted, both full and short papers will be included
into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer
Society Press (EI indexed). At least one of the authors of any
accepted paper is requested to register and present the paper at the
conference. Full papers will be presented orally in a technical
session. Short papers will be displayed and discussed in a special
poster session.
SPECIAL ISSUES
===
Extended versions of selected excellent papers will be considered for
fast-track publication in special issues of prestige journals.
