INTRODUCTION
=============
Pervasive systems, intelligent Algorithms, and multi-faceted Networks are emerging fields of research and revolutionary paradigm for next-generation computing, information and communication technologies. The 14th International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks (I-SPAN 2017) aims to establish an international forum for engineers and scientists to present their excellent ideas, latest innovations and experiences on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks.
The 14th International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks (I-SPAN 2017) follows the tradition of previous successful I-SPAN conferences, I-SPAN 1994 (Kanazawa, Japan), I-SPAN 1996 (Beijing, China), I-SPAN 1997 (Taipei, Taiwan), I-SPAN 1999 (Perth/Freemantle, Australia), I-SPAN 2000 (Dallas/Richardson, USA), I-SPAN 2002 (Manila, Philippines), I-SPAN 2004 (Hong Kong, China), I-SPAN 2005 (Las Vegas, USA), I-SPAN 2008 (Sydney, Australia), I-SPAN 2009 (Kaoshiung, Taiwan), I-SPAN 2011 (Dalian, China), I-SPAN 2012 (San Marcos, Texas, USA), and I-SPAN 2014 (Chengdu, China).
I-SPAN 2017 will be held in Exeter, the capital city of Devon and provides the county with a central base for education, medicine, religion, commerce and culture. The city is also home to the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, which dates back to Norman times. Exeter is also ideally placed to base a trip to branch out visiting places such as the famous Dartmoor National Park and the serene beaches of the North and South Devon coastlines.

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE
==========================
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website ( http://cse.stfx.ca/~ISPAN2017/sub/ ) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over length charge) including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, 10 fonts). If the authors believe that more details are essential to substantiate the claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix (with no space limit) that will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page:
