=====================INTRODUCTION=============================
Over the last fifty years, computational intelligence has evolved from artificial intelligence, nature-inspired computing,
and social-oriented technology to cyber-physical integrated ubiquitous intelligence towards Pervasive Intelligence (PI).
The IEEE 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 domains. PICom 2024 is the
conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing, previously held as PCC (Las Vegas, USA, 2003 and 2004), PSC
(Las Vegas, USA, 2005), PCAC (Vienna, Austria, 2006, and Niagara Falls, Canada, 2007), IPC-2007 (Jeju, Korea,
December 2007), IPC-2008 (Sydney, Australia, December 2008), and since 2009 as the name PICom. It aims to bring
together computer scientists and engineers, providing a platform for vibrant discussions and exchanges on
experimental and theoretical results, ongoing work, cutting-edge designs, and innovative test-environments or testbeds,
while also delving into the latest advancements and novel trends in Intelligence and Machine Learning within the realms
of Pervasive Intelligence and Computing.

validated proposal (WiP) or present a breakthrough, a
new vision or an out of the box idea on the field to be
discussed at the conference (LBI).


=====================SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION=============================
Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not previously been submitted or published in any other venue. Regular, work-in-progress (WiP), and workshop/special session papers need to be submitted in IEEE CS Proceedings format. IEEE formatting info: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
All the accepted papers will be published by IEEE in the Conference Proceedings (IEEE-DL and EI indexed). Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers. Selected papers will be recommended to prestigious journal Special Issues.
Some papers originally submitted as full papers can be accepted as short papers during the review process. In such cases, the authors will need to reduce the paper accordingly when preparing the camera-ready version. At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register and present the paper at the conference.
Full Papers: 6-8 pages - WiP/WS/SS/Short Papers: 4-6 pages
