Overview
ICCS is co-organised with the Workshops on Computational Science – a set of thematic workshops organized by experts in a particular area of computational science. These workshops are intended to provide a forum for the discussion of novel and more focused topics in the field of Computational Science among an international group of researchers.
The Workshops on Computational Science are specifically intended to explore new areas of Computational Science or strengthen the application of Computational Science in particular disciplines. Typical topics for thematic 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
- Complex Systems Simulation
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.
Submission
All workshops are required to use the Easychair system for submission, reviewing, notification and collection of camera-ready versions. Detailed instructions will be provided by the conference organizers at all stages of the process. The deadlines for workshop papers will be the same as for ICCS papers. The same applies to submission templates, page limits and other general submission guidelines.
Reviewing
Workshop organizers are required to review papers based on the same criteria used in ICCS. The conference and the workshops will use the same review form and aim for three reviews per paper.
Papers accepted by the workshops will be published in a separate volume of the Lecture Notes in Computational Science (Springer LNCS). The volumes from the Conference and the Workshops will be published and indexed in the same way.
After the conference, each workshop will be able to nominate one paper for a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science – JoCS. The conference organizers, together with the JoCS Editorial Board, will then select the papers which best fit the journal’s scope. Selected authors will be contacted by the conference organizers and invited to submit extended versions of their ICCS papers.
Rules
(1) – We ask that prospective workshop organisers only submit a proposal if they fully understand what they are undertaking.
The main responsibilities are:
- Inviting the workshop program committee (PC).
- Advertising the workshop through different channels and inviting authors.
- Coordinating the review process in the EasyChair system (3 reviews per paper)
- Advising on acceptance before notification
- Defining a workshop program (following instructions from the conference organizers)
- Communicating with the workshop authors and ICCS organizers
- Appointing session chairs, and coming to the conference in person to lead the sessions
(2) – One registration fee waiver (incl. the conference dinner) will be granted to workshop chairs whose workshop fulfil the condition:
#registrations for in-person participation >= 8
(3) – The final acceptance of a workshop will be assessed by the programme committee of the Workshops on Computational Science (see here). The criteria for acceptance of a workshop are are:
- The fit within the general field of Computational Science
- The quality of the programme committee and organizers
- The strength of connection to existing initiatives, or the novelty of the workshop topic.
- The potential draw to the ICCS community
