The 2001 International Conference on Computational Science

Call for Papers

Computational Science is increasingly becoming a vital part of many scientific investigations, affecting researchers and practitioners in areas ranging from aerospace and automotive, to chemistry, electronics, geosciences, to mathematics, and physics.

Due to the sheer size of many challenges in computational science, the use of supercomputing, parallel processing, and sophisticated algorithms, is inevitable.

The Conference aims to bring together researchers and scientists from mathematics and computer science as basic computing disciplines, researchers from various application areas who are pioneering advanced applications of computing to sciences such as physics, chemistry, life sciences, and engineering, arts and humanitarian fields, along with software developers and vendors, to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to identify new issues, and to shape future directions for research, as well as to help industrial users apply various advanced computational techniques.

The Conference organizers expect to outline the variety of large scale problems requiring interdiciplinary approach and vast computational efforts, and to promote interdisciplinary collaboration.

We invite you to submit a:

  • full paper of 6 to 10 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for oral presentation
  • short paper of 2 to 4 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for poster presentation
  • proposal to organize a technical session, workshop or minisymposium (see the Call for Events Proposals for more information).

Proceedings

The proceedings of the Conference will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. A selected number of papers will also be published as special issues of the appropriate journals.

Paper Submission

The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS. For formatting information, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Please include a cover page which lists the following:

  • name, affiliation, address and e-mail address of each author
  • name of the presenting author
  • name of the contact author
  • e-mail address of the contact author
  • a maximum of 5 keywords
  • 3 nominated referees and contact information of all nominated referees
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. A PostScript version of your paper must be submitted electronically to iccs2001-submit@csres.cs.rdg.ac.uk. Hard copies should be sent only if electronic submission is not possible.

Dates of deadlines for draft paper submission, notification of acceptance, and deadline for camera-ready paper submission and pre-registration may be found in the Important Dates section of this Web site.

 

Call for Events Proposals

Proposal for Organizing Technical Session and/or Workshop

We invite proposals for technical sessions for technical sessions and/or workshops. Each technical session will have at least 6 paper presentations. Sessions with a large number of papers may be approved as workshops. The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions; including soliciting, reviewing, and selecting the papers. The names of session chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the Conference proceedings. After the Conference, some sessions will be considered for publication in appropriate journals as Special Issues with the session proposer as the Guest Editor of the journal.

Proposals to organize technical sessions should include the following information:

  • title of the technical session
  • name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address of the proposer(s)
  • description of the topic of the session (not exceeding 100 words)
  • a short description on how the session will be advertised (in most cases, the session proposer(s) solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to him/her).

A copy of this Call for Events Proposal in Adobe PDF format is available here.

The proposals will be reviewed by the Special Events Committee.

The deadline for proposal submission is December 8, 2000. Please send your proposal to iccs2001@csres.cs.rdg.ac.uk.

Proposals for Organizing Minisymposium

The organizing committee invites proposals for minisymposia in areas related to the conference themes. A minisymposium consists of 4 related talks of 30 minutes each (25 minutes for presentation plus 5 minutes for questions and answers). Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of:

  • title of the minisymposium
  • name, affiliation, mailing address, and e-mail address of minisymposium chair and co-chair
  • description of the minisymposium (not exceeding 100 words)
  • names of speakers, along with the following for each speaker:
    • affiliation, address, and e-mail address
    • title of their presentation
Each minisymposium speaker should submit a 200-word abstract in LNCS format. Please see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for formatting information.

A copy of this Call for Events Proposal in Adobe PDF format is available here.

Minisymposium organizers should consider the following recommendations when designing their sessions.

  • Speakers should be selected primarily for their current contributions to the topic area and should be as representative of researchers in the area as is practicable. In particular, we discourages minisymposia in which most of the speakers come from one organization, or are all co-authors on the papers being presented in the minisymposium.
  • The first speaker should provide an overview of the topic area, put the area in current perspective, and suggest new avenues for continued research and application.
  • Organizers are encouraged to include women and members of underrepresented minorities as speakers whenever appropriate.

The Special Events Committee will review contributed minisymposia and reserves the right to limit the number of minisymposia to maintain an acceptable level of parallelism in the meeting sessions.

The deadline for proposal submission is December 8, 2000. Please send your proposal to iccs2001@csres.cs.rdg.ac.uk.
