The 2011 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2011) will be held on June 20-23, 2011, at the University of Cantabria, Santander (Spain).

ICCSA 2011 is the next event in the series of highly successful International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications, previously held in 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 CPS of the IEEE Computer Society. 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 2011 has paper submission in different categories: main conference theme papers, workshop/special session papers, short papers, PHD showcase 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 guidelines


To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the link available at the ICCSA 2011 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 three categories: Main Conference Theme Papers, Special Session/Workshop Paper and Poster Paper.

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 8 pages for CPS

publication (IEEE CS), and should be formatted according to the LNCS or IEEE CPS rules, respectively.

Please consult the URL http://www.iccsa.org/author-instructions for formatting information and templates.

SHORT PAPERS:
The submitted paper must be between 4 to 5 pages long formatted according to CPS (IEEE CS) rules.
The Short Papers will be presented during the conference and will be published by CPS.

PHD SHOWCASE PAPERS:
The submitted paper must be between 5 to 8 pages long formatted according to CPS (IEEE CS) rules.
The PHD Showcase Papers will be presented during the conference and will be published by CPS.

POSTER PAPERS:
The submitted paper must be between 3 to 4 pages long formatted according to CPS (IEEE CS) rules.
The Poster Papers will be presented as posters during the conference and will be published by CPS.

The papers and posters 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.
