Scope and Topics
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original, unpublished research and recent developments in Computational Sciences. All accepted papers will be included in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and indexed by Scopus, EI Engineering Index, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (included in ISI Web of Science), and several other indexing services. The papers will contain linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers.
ICCS 2025 invites original contributions on all topics related to Computational Science, including, but not limited to:
- Scientific Computing
- Problem Solving Environments
- Advanced Numerical Algorithms
- Complex Systems: Modeling and Simulation
- Hybrid Computational Methods
- Web- and Grid-based Simulation and Computing
- Parallel and Distributed Computing
- Advanced Computing Architectures and New Programming Models
- Visualization and Virtual Reality as Applied to Computational Science
- Applications of Computation as a Scientific Paradigm
- New Algorithmic Approaches to Computational Kernels and Applications
- Computational Humanities
- Education in Computational Science
- Large Scale Scientific Instruments
- Computational Sociology
- Medical and Biomedical Computational Science
- Computational Physics
- Quantum Computing
- Uncertainty Quantification
- Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Computing
- Complex Systems Simulations
- System Dynamics Models
- Complex Networks Models and High Performance simulations
- Massive Agent Based models
As the conference theme this year is “Making Complex Systems tractable through Computational Science”, papers highlighting the role of Computational Science in tackling the complex problems of today and tomorrow are particularly welcome.
Paper Types and Publication
| Submission Type | Published in LNCS | Pages |
| Full Paper | ✓ | 12-15 |
| Short Paper | ✓ | 6-8 |
| Abstract | — | 2 |
ICCS is co-organised with the Workshops on Computational Science, a set of thematic satellite events that focus on particular aspects of computational science. You can submit your paper to either the Main Conference or any of the Workshops via the same EasyChair link. You can also choose to submit a Full/Short Paper or an Abstract. Please see the table above for the differences between each submission type.
Do also note that:
1. ICCS and WCS (Workshops on Computational Science) papers will be published in separate proceedings, that is, there will be a LNCS publication for the Main Conference, and a different LNCS publication for the Workshops. But both ICCS and WCS will be published by LNCS, and indexed in the same way.
2. The only difference between Full and Short papers is the number of accepted pages. They are otherwise published and indexed in the exact same way.
While we encourage full paper submissions, the “Abstract Only” option caters to researchers who can only publish in specific journals or work for companies in circumstances such that they cannot publish at all, but still want to present their work and discuss it with their peers at ICCS. In the “Abstract Only” option, a short abstract is included in the conference program, but not in LNCS.
After the conference, the best papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science (Impact Factor: 3.1)
Instructions for Authors
The manuscripts of up to 15 pages, written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS templates, should be submitted electronically via EasyChair..
The most recent versions of the Templates are available for download from this link.
The LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates are also available in the scientific authoring platform Overleaf.
Please also make sure to follow Springer’s authors’ guidelines, as well as Springer’s Book Authors’ Code of Conduct.
Papers must be based on unpublished original work and must be submitted to ICCS only. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
Do also note that ICCS lays crucial emphasis on the explicit relevance of submitted contributions to Computational Science. All submissions to the conference, whether to the main conference or to the workshops, will be evaluated for this relevance (through a mandatory field in the submission form). Papers that are more relevant to specialized conferences on very specific topics will be desk-rejected before the standard review process begins.
To promote open science and to facilitate reproducibility, ICCS encourages data and code sharing. Please keep this in mind when submitting your papers.
Deadlines for draft paper submission, notification of acceptance, camera-ready paper submission and registration may be found in the Important Dates section.
For the camera-ready version, please note that:
- ICCS authors interested in open access for their papers (open choice) have the possibility to do so. When you submit your camera-ready paper, if you intend to make it open access, contact us and we will tell you how to proceed.
- Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.
- Springer is now offering the inclusion of embedded videos in proceedings papers.
