Call for Workshop Proposals

Submission of workshop proposals is now closed

Thematic workshops organized by an expert in a particular area constitute the core of the conference.

We invite proposals for workshops. Workshops are intended to provide a forum for the discussion of a specific topic from the field of Computational Science between an international group of researchers.  Each workshop should have at least 8 paper presentations and preferably no more than 20. The workshop organiser will be responsible for advertising the workshop, reviewing and selecting the papers. Financial assistance for the workshop organiser will be limited to one fee waiver for the conference. Papers accepted for Workshops will be published in the ICCS 2011 Proceedings. After the Conference some papers presented at the Workshops will be considered for publication in appropriate journals as Special Issues with the Workshop organiser as the Guest Editor of the journal.

Typical topics for workshops would be:

• Bio Computing
• Bio Complexity
• Computational Brain Dynamics
• Medical Computing
• Social Computing
• Computational Finance
• Computational Economy
• Computational Geophysics
• Atmospheric and Oceanic Computational Science
• Agent-Based Simulation
• Scientific Visualization

Proposals to organise workshops should include the following information:

• Title of the workshop
  
• Name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address of the proposer(s).
• Names of at least three PC members for the workshops
• A description of the topic of the session (not exceeding 100 words) plus a short description on how the session will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors.
• A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Computational Science.
• A brief introduction of the proposer, explaining his/her qualifications.

Papers for workshops should be submitted directly to the Workshop using our paper submission system. Deadlines for workshop papers will in principle be the same as for main-track papers. The Workshop organiser will be required to use the ICCS paper submission engine and to review the papers on basis of the same criteria as those in the main track. The list of papers accepted for a workshop should be sent to the Workshops Chair before February 15, 2011
The final acceptance of a workshop will be based on the quality of these papers, the coherence of the workshop and degree to which a broad audience is addressed.
