International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2007)(http://www.iccsa.org/index.html) Workshop on High-Performance Geocomputation (HP/GC) Call for Paper Currently the high
performance computing is an effective tool in addressing fundamental questions
that are closely related to the observation, analysis and modelling of many
geographical and Earth science parameters. Geocomputation
(GC) is mainly concerned with the application of new computational techniques
and algorithms to the geographical and Earth science parameters. Nowadays, this
application can take advantage of high performance computing. In particular,
focus is placed on the nonlinear aspects of the spatio-temporal
variability of the climate system (regarded as a subsystem of the global
system), which is consisting of the atmosphere, cryosphere,
biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere.
The 2007 International
Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2007)
will be held at Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel in
ICCSA 2007 is the next event in a series of highly
successful International Conferences on Computational Science and Its
Applications (ICCSA), previously held
in Glasgow, UK (2006), Singapore (2005), Assisi, Italy (2004), Montreal, Canada
(2003), and (as ICCS) Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2002) and San
Francisco, USA (2001).
GC 2007 will be
the continuance of the GC workshop in ICCSA. This Workshop series brings together numerous
scientists from different areas of research, who are interested in using the
latest computational tools and techniques, or who have implemented similar
computation-based approaches under alternative scenarios in geographical and
Earth science context. This workshop will offer presentations from a variety of
sources, both local, national and international and
will enable you to network with others working in similar fields.
Invitation to Submit a Paper
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.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for formatting
information and templates.
The submitted short paper must be
camera-ready, between 6 and 9 pages long and formatted according to the rules
of IEEE Computer Society. Please consult the URL http://www.computer.org 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.
