Introduction
Welcome to participate in the 7th International Conference on Frontier of Computer Science and Technology (FCST-12), Suzhou, China, November 21-23, 2012!
In ancient China, Suzhou was the Capital of the Kingdom of Wu from the 12th to 4th centuries, B.C. As an old Chinese saying goes: Ą°Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below.Ąą Suzhou is well known in China and abroad for its wonderful landscapes, elegant gardens and various stone bridges, as well as its eminent historical and cultural values.
FCST-12 is intended to facilitate effective communications and exchanges all over the world. It will not only reflect the significant progresses that are currently being made in computer science and technology, but also represent a powerful and unique forum for discussing innovative, cutting-edge advances in all aspects of computer science and technology from researchers and practitioners in academia, government and corporate institutions around the globe.
FCST-12 derives from the Japan-China Joint Workshop on Frontier of Computer Science and Technology. It follows the success of FCST 2011 in Changsha, China; FCST 2010 in Changchun, China; FCST 2009 in Shanghai, China; FCST 2008 in Nagasaki, Japan; FCST 2007 in Wuhan, China; and FCST 2006 in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan. The conference aims to bring together computer scientists, mathematicians, engineers and researchers to Suzhou, in order to present, discuss and exchange ideas, results, work-in-progresses and experiences, in the areas of advanced computing for problems in science and engineering applications.
