The 2021 International Conference on Computational Science and Its
Applications
University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy
ICCSA 2021
July 5-8, 2021
https://iccsa.org
ICCSA 2021 is the next event in the series of highly successful
International Conferences on Computational Science and Its
Applications,
previously held in Cagliari - Italy (2020, as an online-only event
due
to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions), Saint Petersburg - Russia
(2019),
Melbourne - Australia (2018), Trieste - Italy (2017), Beijing -
China
(2016), Banff - Canada (2015), Guimaraes - Portugal (2014), Ho Chi
Minh
City - Vietnam (2013), Salvador da Bahia - Brazil (2012),
Santander -
Spain (2011), Fukuoka - Japan (2010), Suwon - Korea (2009),
Perugia -
Italy (2008), Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia (2007), Glasgow - United
Kingdom
(2006), Singapore - Singapore(2005), Assisi - Italy (2004),
Montreal -
Canada (2003), and, as ICCS, in Amsterdam - The Netherlands (2002)
and
San Francisco - USA (2001).
The ICCSA 2021 conference will again we organized in Cagliari,
Italy,
and we are once more planning for robustness.
Like last year, ICCSA 2021 offers the possibility of online-only
participation (with reduces 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.
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 in Lecture Notes for Computer Science and, as
post-Conference
proceedings, Conference Publishing System (CPS). The authors of a
selected number of top-quality papers will be requested to extend
their
papers for further review and publication as special issues in
highly
recognized international journals.
ICCSA 2021 accepts paper submission in the following categories:
main
Conference theme papers and Workshop papers. The details for each
paper
submission category can be found at the URL

Paper Submission
----------------
To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the
link
available at the ICCSA 2021 web site:
https://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 (LNCS), Special Session/Workshop Papers
(LNCS or
CPS), Short Papers (LNCS), and PHD Showcase Papers (CPS).
MAIN CONFERENCE THEME PAPERS (LNCS)
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/instructions-for-authors for formatting
information
and templates.
WORKSHOPS PAPERS (LNCS or CPS)
The submitted paper must be between 10 to 16 pages long for LNCS
publication, or 7 to 11 pages for CPS publication (in such case as
post-conference proceedings), and should be formatted according to
the
LNCS or CPS rules, respectively.
Please consult the URL
https://iccsa.org/instructions-for-authors
for
formatting information and templates.
SHORT PAPERS (LNCS)
Reporting preliminary results of ongoing research. The submitted
paper
must be between 7 and 9 pages long formatted according to LNCS
rules.
The Short Papers will be presented during the conference and will
be
published by LNCS.
PHD SHOWCASE PAPERS (CPS)
Reporting ongoing research already achieving significant results
and
primarily carried out by Ph.D. students and junior researchers.
The
submitted paper must be between 6 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 as post-conference
proceedings.
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,
2011, 2012, and 30% in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and
2019)
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.
