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 2026 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.

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


*Submission Instructions*

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 via EDAS (link available soon) in IEEE CS Proceedings format.

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. Some papers, originally submitted as full papers
and based on review results, can be accepted as short papers or poster
papers. In such cases, the authors will need to reduce the number of pages
of the paper accordingly when preparing the camera-ready version. Authors
of accepted poster papers will be required (i) to prepare and submit the
camera-ready version of the paper for inclusion in the conference
proceedings and (ii) to realize the poster (format will be announced later)
for its presentation at the conference.
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 -
Poster Papers: 2-4 pages - Late-Breaking Innovation (LBI) Papers: 4-8 pages
