Call for Papers for:
The 2013 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications
- ICCSA 2013 -
June 24th - June 27th, 2013
International University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
http://www.iccsa.org/
The 2013 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications
(ICCSA 2013) will be held on June 24-27, 2013, in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam).
ICCSA 2013 will be the next event in a series of highly successful
International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications
(ICCSA), previously held in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil (2012), Santander, Spain
(2011), Fukuoka, Japan (2010), Suwon, Korea (2009), Perugia, Italy (2008),
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2007), Glasgow, UK (2006), Singapore (2005), Assisi,
Italy (2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and (as ICCS) Amsterdam, The Netherlands
(2002) and San Francisco, USA (2001).
Computational Science is a main pillar of most of the present research,
industrial and commercial activities and plays a unique role in exploiting ICT
innovative technologies. The ICCSA Conference offers a real opportunity to
bring together scientists of different disciplines, discuss new issues, tackle
complex problems and find advanced solutions breeding new trends in
Computational Science.
Submitted papers will be subject to stringent peer review by at least three
experts and carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical
soundness, and clarity of exposition. Accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings to be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes for
Computer Science and Conference Publishing System (CPS). The authors of a
selected number of top quality papers will be requested to extend their paper
in order to be published as special issues in highly recognized international
journals.
ICCSA 2013 has paper submission in different categories: main conference theme
papers, workshop/special session papers, and poster session papers. The
submission details for each paper category can be found at the URL
http://www.iccsa.org/authors-instructions and the list of sessions at the URL:

Paper Submission
----------------
To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the link
available at the ICCSA 2013 web site: http://ess.iccsa.org.
Only papers submitted through the electronic system and strictly adhering to
the relevant format will be considered for reviewing and publication.
The submission may fall into the following five categories: Main Conference
Theme Papers, Special Session/Workshop Papers, Short Papers, PHD Showcase
Papers and Poster Papers.
MAIN CONFERENCE THEME PAPERS
The submitted paper must be camera-ready, between 10 and 16 pages long and
formatted according to the LNCS rules. Please consult the URL
http://www.iccsa.org/author-instructions for formatting information and
templates.
SPECIAL SESSIONS/WORKSHOPS PAPERS
The submitted paper must be between 10 to 16 pages long for LNCS publication,
or 6 to 11 pages for CPS publication, and should be formatted according to the
LNCS or CPS rules, respectively.
Please consult the URL http://www.iccsa.org/author-instructions for
formatting information and templates.
SHORT PAPERS
Reporting preliminary results of ongoing research. The submitted paper must be
between 4 to 5 pages long formatted according to CPS rules. The Short Papers
will be presented during the conference and will be published by CPS.
PHD SHOWCASE PAPERS
Reporting ongoing research already achieving significant results and primarily
carried out by Ph.D. students and junior researchers. The submitted paper must
be between 5 to 8 pages long formatted according to CPS rules. The PHD
Showcase Papers will be presented during the conference and will be published
by CPS.
POSTER PAPERS
Reporting preliminary results of ongoing research. The submitted paper must be
between 3 to 4 pages long formatted according to CPS rules. The Poster Papers
will be presented as posters during the conference and will be published by CPS.
Each paper must deal with original and unpublished work, not submitted for
publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of
the authors). Each paper will be reviewed by at least three experts in the
relevant field (acceptance rate was 28% in 2005, 26% in 2006 and 28% in 2007,
29% in 2008, 30% in 2009, 29% in 2010) ensuring the publication of only top
quality contributions.
When a paper is accepted at least one of the authors has to register to the
conference and deliver the related talk. Failure to do so shall lead to
rejection of the application to attend next year conference and the exclusion
of the paper for the current year proceedings.
