ICCS 2009: "Compute. Discover. Innovate."

LSU Center for Computation & Technology
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, U.S.A.
May 25-27, 2009

ICCS 2009 again has been a resounding success - thanks to the combined efforts of many people - the local organisation, the workshop organisers, our keynote speakers, the program committee and reviewers, the authors and delegates.Thank you all!

ICCS 2009 would not have been possible without the contributions of our sponsors and publisher.

The International Conference on Computational Science 2009 (ICCS 2009) will explore how computational sciences are not only advancing the traditional hard science disciplines, but also stretching beyond, with applications in the arts, humanities, media and all aspects of research.

This interdisciplinary conference will draw academic and industry leaders from a variety of fields, including physics, astronomy, mathematics, music, digital media, biology and engineering. The conference also will host computer and computational scientists who are designing and building the cyberinfrastructure necessary for next-generation computing. Discussions will focus on innovative ways to collaborate and how computational science is changing the future of research.

"ICCS 2009: Compute. Discover. Innovate." is hosted by the Center for Computation & Technology at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, U.S.A. Talks and presentations at this conference will focus on new applications for high-performance computing, including petascale algorithms, tools and applications, high-speed optical networks such as the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative, or LONI, distributed data management and sharing, and new software programs for biomedical, science and humanities research.

To submit a paper for ICCS 2009, please visit the "Call for Papers" area of the Web site for paper submission information. The conference organizers will publish all accepted papers in the conference proceedings.

ICCS 2009 is the ninth in the series of highly successful conferences: ICCS 2008 in Krakow, Poland, ICCS 2007 in Beijing, China, ICCS 2006 in Reading, UK, ICCS 2005 in Atlanta, U.S.A., ICCS 2004 in Krakow, Poland; ICCS 2003 held simultaneously in Melbourne, Australia and St. Petersburg, Russia, ICCS 2002 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and ICCS 2001 in San Francisco, U.S.A.

ICCS 2009 will be the third event in this series to take place in the United States.

Since its beginnings in 2001, ICCS has attracted an increased number of attendees and papers, and the quality of presentations has increased each year. An average 500 participants attend this event annually. With a typical acceptance rate of 30 percent based on peer review, more than 400 high-quality papers are published and presented at each ICCS event. These proceedings series have become a major intellectual resource for computational science researchers and serve to both define and advance the state of the field.

Baton Rouge looks forward to welcoming you for this exciting event - laissez les bons temps rouler!
