CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------

Pervasive system and computing is an emerging field of research and revolutionary paradigm for
next-generation IT applications. The 13th International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms,
and Networks (I-SPAN 2014) 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 13th International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks (I-SPAN 2014)
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, Texas, 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).

I-SPAN2014 will be held on Dec. 19th-21st, 2014 in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Topics of interest in this
year focus on 8 popular areas in particular, but are not limited to:

Track 1: Graphs, Algorithms and Networks
Track 2: Parallel and Distributed Systems
Track 3: Cloud Computing and Big Data
