INTRODUCTION
=============

Pervasive systems, intelligent Algorithms, and Networks are emerging fields of research and revolutionary paradigm for next-generation IT applications. The 16th International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks (I-SPAN 2019) 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 16th International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks (I-SPAN 2019) 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-SPAN 2014 (Chengdu, China), I-SPAN 2017 (Exeter, UK), I-SPAN 2018 (Yichang, China).
