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

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.
