Subject: [computational.science] ICCSA 2021: Computational Optimization and Applications - deadline extended
Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2021 11:14:36 +0100
From: Ana Rocha <arocha@dps.uminho.pt>
Organization: UMinho
To: computational.science@lists.iccsa.org


Dear colleague,


Extended deadline for submission to the:


Computational Optimization and Applications (COA 2021) Workshop

of the 21th International Conference on Computational Science and
Applications (ICCSA 2021, <http://www.iccsa.org/> http://www.iccsa.org/)
will be held on July 5 - 8, 2021 in collaboration with the University of
Cagliari, Italy, in blended form.

Like last year, ICCSA 2021 offers the possibility of online-only
participation (with reduced registration fees). But we are also planning to
offer the possibility of in-presence participation, should the pandemic
situation allow it, by setting up a blended experience for mixed
online/in-presence sessions.


IMPORTANT DATES - deadline extended
================

March 28, April 25, 2021: Deadline for abstract and paper submission to the
COA Workshop

April 18, May 30, 2021: Notification of Acceptance.
May 10, June 20, 2021: Submission deadline for the final version of the
Proceeding Papers
May 10, June 20, 2021: Early-bird Registration ends.
July 5-8, 2021: ICCSA 2020 Conference


TOPICS
======

The scope of the Workshop is to bring together scientists working in
Computational Optimization and its applications in science and engineering.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Computational Optimization: new issues in computational algorithms for
continuous and discrete optimization; deterministic and stochastic
algorithms, nature-inspired algorithms and other metaheuristic algorithms
for solving optimization problems.


* Applications: case studies in all areas of sciences, engineering and
industry, including economics, medicine, biology, earth sciences and social
sciences.



PROCEEDINGS
============
The proceedings of the COA 2021 Workshop will appear in the Springer-Verlag,
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The paper must be
camera-ready, between 10 and 16 pages long and formatted according to the
LNCS rules

SUBMISSION DETAILS
==================
All accepted papers will be included in the Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS, <http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs>
http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs ) series and indexed by
Scopus, EI Engineering Index, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings
Citation Index (included in ISI Web of Science), and several other indexing
services. The papers will contain linked references, XML versions and
citable DOI numbers. 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.

The authors can submit abstracts and papers to your session accessing the
electronic submission site: <http://ess.iccsa.org/> http://ess.iccsa.org/


You can find the instructions to prepare and submit papers on the web site (
<http://www.iccsa.org/instructions-for-authors>
http://www.iccsa.org/instructions-for-authors )

If you are not registered, you must to register before the submission. From
the personal page the author is able to submit first an abstract (phase 1),
then a full paper (phase 2), selecting the session from the list of sessions
in the submission forms.


The author will be able to update the paper until the submission deadline.
