Introduction

The 2007 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2007) will be held at Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a top-level resort in one of the most dynamic and exciting locations, from 26 August 2007 until 29 August 2007.

ICCSA 2007 is the next event in the series of highly successful International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications, previously held in Glasgow, UK (2006), Singapore (2005), Assisi, Italy (2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and (as ICCS)  Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2002) and in 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 discuss new issues, to tackle complex problems and find advanced solutions able to shape new trends in Computational Science.

Paper Submission

Full Papers

The submitted full paper must be camera-ready, between 10 and 14 pages long and formatted according to the LNCS rules. Please consult the URL http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-72376-0&teaserId=45515&CENTER_ID=99829 for formatting information and templates. 

Short Papers

The submitted short paper must be camera-ready, between 4 and 9 pages long and formatted according to the rules of IEEE Computer Society. Please consult the URL   http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/menuitem.02df7cde46985ea21618fc2e6bcd45f3/index.jsp?&pName=cscps_level1&path=cscps/cps&file=cps_forms.xml&xsl=generic.xsl&  for formatting information and templates. 


To submit a full or a short paper, please refer to instructions available on the ICCSA 2007 web site. Only papers submitted through the electronic submission  and strictly adhering to the relevant format will be considered for reviewing and publication.

The paper must present an original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of the authors).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 and 26% in 2006) ensuring the acceptance only to 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.

Important Dates

20 April 2007:              Deadline for paper submission  (extended)
14 May   2007:               Notification of acceptance
30 May   2007:             Camera Ready Papers and Pre-registration deadline
26-29 August 2007:     ICCSA 2007 Conference.

Proceedings

The proceedings of the Conference will be published both by Springer-Verlag and IEEE Computer Society. In  particular:

1. The selected top quality Full Papers will appear in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in  Computer Science (LNCS) series.
2. The selected top quality Short Papers will appear in the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings.

 
For a selected number of top quality papers, the authors will be requested to extend the paper in order to be published as special issues in appropriate international journals, such as Transactions on Computational Science,Springer,  Journal of Supercomputing, International Journal of Mathematical Algorithms, etc.

Conference fees
