Introduction
----------------------
The 2014 FTRA International Symposium on Frontier and Innovation in Future Computing and Communications will be held in Auckland, New Zealand, January 12-14, 2014.

The FCC-14 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on Future Computing and Communications (FCC).
The FCC-14 will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of FCC
such as Ubiquitous wired and wireless networks, Intelligent sensor network/RFID, Ubiquitous/pervasive platform and middleware, Mobile and ubiquitous multicasting, Wireless communication technology, Future internet, etc.
In addition, the conference will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in FCC.
Furthermore, we expect that the conference and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject.

Papers presented in the FCC-14 will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (ISSN: 1876-1100) post proceedings, which will be indexed by EI & SCOPUS Compedex.
