COMPSAC 2021
INTELLIGENT & RESILIENT COMPUTING FOR A COLLABORATIVE WORLD
https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2021/
JULY 12-16, 2021
***CALL FOR PAPERS***
MAIN CONFERENCE PAPER SUBMISSION DUE DATE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 18,
2021
Computers, Software and Applications. It is a major international
forum for academia, industry, and government to discuss research
results and advancements, emerging challenges, and future trends
in computer and software technologies and applications. The theme
of COMPSAC 2021 is “Intelligent and Resilient Computing for a
Collaborative World”.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed how we work
with each other on a regular basis. Limitations on in-person
interactions have caused a dramatic increase in our use and
reliance on collaborative technology to enable normal
communication. Family and friends have conversations via video
chat, students utilize online learning instead of in-person
instruction, and medical professionals treat patients remotely.
These are only a few examples of how interactive software and
applications have provided the foundation for continued normal
day-to-day activities. But as use of these tools has rapidly
accelerated, some limitations and shortcomings have also been
discovered. Many components support online collaborative services,
including bare-metal hardware, massive back-end storage, and
high-speed, high-throughput networking, as well as the software
required to administer these components efficiently. In many
cases, the resilience of these underpinnings has been tested by
unprecedented levels of demand, stressing systems and exposing
weaknesses. As computer researchers, we see these weaknesses as
opportunities to fill gaps in how software and applications are
developed, utilized, and supported. How to improve the resiliency
of these components across a wide range of use domains is a
significant challenge we suddenly find ourselves facing. How do we
design systems that are able to withstand the stress of
global-scale use, and still provide robust and secure services to
end-users? For over 40 years, COMPSAC has been an outlet for
researchers to share and discuss innovative and novel approaches
to problems such as these, and we look forward to hearing your
ideas in 2021!
COMPSAC 2021, organized as a tightly integrated union of symposia,
will focus on technical aspects of issues relevant to computers,
software and applications, with an emphasis on topics related to
improving collaboration with intelligence and resilience. The
technical program will include keynote addresses, research papers,
industrial case studies, fast abstracts, a doctoral symposium,
poster sessions, and workshops and tutorials on emerging and
important topics related to the conference theme. Highlights of
the conference will include plenary and specialized panels that
will address the technical challenges facing researchers and
practitioners who are driving fundamental changes in intelligent
systems and applications. Panels will also address cultural and
societal challenges with respect to computing and collaboration
raised by rapidly changing communication norms.
***SUBMISSION***
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research work,
as well as industrial practice reports. Simultaneous submission to
other publication venues is not permitted except as highlighted in
the COMPSAC 2021 J1C2 & C1J2 program. All submissions must
adhere to IEEE Publishing Policies, and will be vetted through the
IEEE CrossCheck portal.
