The 2006 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2006) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical Session on GeoComputation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Paper
The 2006 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (http://www.iccsa.org/) will be held at The Hilton Glasgow, Scotland, UK from May 8-11, 2006.
Aim of the Technical Session:
Computational science involves using computers to study scientific problems. GeoComputation is the art and science of solving complex spatial problems with computers. It is focused on the research, development and application of spatial information technologies to address social, economic and environmental problems at human and geographical scales.
Geocomputation is concerned with new computational techniques, algorithms, and paradigms that are dependent upon and can take advantage of high performance computing (HPC) and high throughput computer (HTC). It includes spatial data analysis, dynamic modelling, simulation, space-time dynamics and visualization and virtual reality.
GeoComputation represents a conscious attempt to move the research agenda back to geographical analysis and modelling, with or without GIS in tow. Its concern is to enrich geography with a toolbox of methods to model and analyze a range of highly complex, often non-deterministic problems. It is about not compromising the geography, nor enforcing the use of unhelpful or simplistic representations. It is a conscious effort to explore the middle ground from the doubly-informed perspective of geography and computer science. A true enabling technology for the quantitative geographer, a rich source of computational and representational challenges for the computer scientist.
This conference will offer presentations from a variety of sources, both local, national and international and will enable you to network with others working in similar fields.
Invitation to Submit a Paper
We invite you to submit a paper to the Technical Session on Geocomputation. You may submit a full paper of a maximum of 6 to 10 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for oral presentation. Submitted papers have to be original, containing new and original results. The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS. For formatting information, see the publishers web site (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
The submission must be performed electonically only through http://cyberchair.iccsa.org. Electronic submissions will be in MS Word, PS, or PDF (please also submit all .eps, .dvi, and .ps files). The acceptance can be conditional on the basis of improvements as advised by the referee or program committee suggestions or because of inappropriate formatting and preparation of the paper. Whether your paper is finally accepted is subject to the discretion of the ICCSA organizers, on the basis whether the suggestions and guidelines have been followed. Please submit your full paper for review by November 21, 2005.
A camera-ready version of your accepted paper must be submitted electronically via the paper submission web page (http://cyberchair.iccsa.org) by February 1, 2006 and must comply with the camera-ready format.
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.
