Computational intelligence, networked systems and their applications

The 2014 International Conference on Life System Modeling and Simulation (LSMS 2014) and 2014 International Conference on Intelligent Computing for Sustainable Energy and Environment (ICSEE 2014), which were held during September 20–23, in Shanghai, China, aimed to bring together international researchers and practitioners in the field of life system modeling and simulation as well as intelligent computing theory and methodology with applications to sustainable energy and environment. These events built on the success of previous LSMS conferences held in Shanghai and Wuxi in 2004, 2007, and 2010, and ICSEE conferences held in Wuxi and Shanghai in 2010 and 2012, and are based on large-scale RCUK/NSFC jointly funded UK–China collaboration projects on energy.
