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 12,
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.
