The 2014 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications University of Minho, Guimaraes, Portugal ICCSA 2014 June 30 - July 3, 2014 http://www.iccsa.org
The 2014 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2014) will be held on June 30 - July 3 2014, University of Minho, Guimaraes, Portugal.
ICCSA 2014 is the next event in the series of highly successful International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications, previously held in 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).
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-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 papers for further review and publication as special issues in highly recognized international journals.
ICCSA 2014 accepts paper submission in the following categories: main Conference theme papers, Workshop papers, and poster papers. The details for each paper submission category can be found at the URL http://www.iccsa.org/authors-instructions and the list of Workshops at the URL: http://www.iccsa.org/sessions.

PAPER SUBMISSION ----------------
To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the link provided at the ICCSA 2014 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 (Regular, Short), Workshop 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/authors-instructions for formatting information and templates.
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/authors-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, 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 orally present the paper in the Conference.
