Introduction
---------------

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. PICom 2012 is the next event, in a series of highly successful International Conferences on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing (PICom), previously held as PCC 2003 (Las Vegas, USA, June 2003),PCC 2004(Las Vegas, USA, June 2004),PSC 2005(Las Vegas, USA, June 2005),PCAC 2006(Vienna, Austria, April 2006), PCAC 2007(Niagara Falls, Canada, May 2007),IPC 2007(Jeju, Korea, December 2007),IPC 2008 (Sydney, Australia, December 2008),PICom 2009(Chengdu, China, December 2009),PICom 2011(Sydney, Australia, December 2011),PICom 2012(Changzhou,China,December 2012),PICom 2013(Chengdu,China,December 2013) .

PICom 2014 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.
