<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">===========</div><div class="gmail_quote">Introduction</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Over
the last fifty years, computational intelligence has evolved from
logic-based artificial intelligence, nature-inspired soft computing,
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. PICom2011 is the next event, in a series
of highly successful International Conferences on Pervasive
Intelligence and Computing (PICom), previously held as PCC-03 (Las
Vegas, USA, June 2003), PCC-04 (Las Vegas, USA, June 2004), PSC-05 (Las
Vegas, USA, June 2005), PCAC-06 (Vienna, Austria, April 2006), PCAC-07
(Niagara Falls, Canada, May 2007), IPC-07 (Jeju, Korea, December 2007),
IPC-08 (Sydney, Australia, December 2008), PICom-09 (Chengdu, China,
December 2009).</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">PICom2011 is
to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers, and
researchers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical
results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and
trend-setting ideas in the areas of Pervasive Intelligence and
Computing. </div>

corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference,
including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files for
LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper submissions must
represent original and unpublished work. Submission of a paper should be
regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least
one of the authors will register for the conference and present the
work. Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the PICom2011 submission site:
