INTRODUCTION
=============
Over the last fifty years, computational intelligence has evolved from logic-based artificial intelligence, nature-inspired soft computing, and 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-2015 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), and PICom-2014 (Dalian, China, August 2014).

PICom-2015 will be held on 26-28 October 2015 in Liverpool, UK. The goal of this year’s event 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.
