The 2012 International Conference on Computational Science and Its
Applications
Universidade Federal de Bahia, Salvador de Bahia (Brazil)
ICCSA 2012
June 18-21, 2012

The 2012 International Conference on Computational Science and Its
Applications (ICCSA 2012) will be held on June 18-21, 2012, in Salvador
de Bahia (Brazil).
ICCSA 2012 is the next event in the series of highly successful
International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications,
previously held in Santander, Spain (2011), Fukuoka, Japan (2010),
Suwon, Korea (2009), Perugia, Italy (2008), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
(2007), Glasgow, United Kingdom (2006), Singapore (2005), Assisi, Italy
(2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and, as ICCS, in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands (2002) and San Francisco (2001).
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.
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag
in Lecture Notes for Computer Science and Conference Publishing System
(CPS). The authors of a selected number of top quality papers will be
requested to extend their paper in order to be published as special
issues in highly recognized international journals.
ICCSA 2012 has paper submission in different categories: main conference
theme papers, workshop/special session papers, and poster session
papers. The submission details for each paper category can be found at
the URL http://www.iccsa.org/authors-instructions and the list of
sessions at the URL: http://www.iccsa.org/sessions.

Paper Submission
----------------
To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the link
available at the ICCSA 2012 web site: http://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, Special Session/Workshop Papers, Short Papers,
PHD Showcase Papers and Poster Papers.
MAIN CONFERENCE THEME PAPERS
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/author-instructions for formatting information and
templates.
SPECIAL SESSIONS/WORKSHOPS PAPERS
The submitted paper must be between 10 to 16 pages long for LNCS
publication, or 6 to 11 pages for CPS publication, and should be
formatted according to the LNCS or CPS rules, respectively.
Please consult the URL http://www.iccsa.org/author-instructions for
formatting information and templates.
SHORT PAPERS
Reporting preliminary results of ongoing research. The submitted paper
must be between 4 to 5 pages long formatted according to CPS rules. The
Short Papers will be presented during the conference and will be
published by CPS.
PHD SHOWCASE PAPERS
Reporting ongoing research already achieving significant results and
primarily carried out by Ph.D. students and junior researchers. The
submitted paper must be between 5 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.
POSTER PAPERS
Reporting preliminary results of ongoing research. The submitted paper
must be between 3 to 4 pages long formatted according to CPS rules. The
Poster Papers will be presented as posters during the conference and
will be published by CPS.
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)
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.
