The International Conference on Computational Science - ICCS 2017 - is an annual conference that brings together researchers and scientists from mathematics and computer science as basic computing disciplines, researchers from various application areas who are pioneering computational methods in sciences such as physics, chemistry, life sciences, and engineering, as well as in arts and humanitarian fields, to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to identify new issues, and to shape future directions for research.
ICCS 2017 in Zürich, Switzerland, will be the seventeenth in this series of highly successful conferences. Since its inception in 2001, ICCS has attracted increasingly higher quality and numbers of attendees and papers. Average attendance each year is about 350 participants. The proceedings series have become a major intellectual resource for computational science researchers and serve to both define and advance the state of the art of the field.
This year's theme for ICCS is “The Art of Computational Science. Bridging Gaps – Forming Alloys”, to highlight the role of computational science as a broad, multidisciplinary science tackling problems and creating synergies with other fields. This conference will be a unique event focusing on recent developments in: scalable scientific algorithms; advanced software tools; computational grids; advanced numerical methods; and novel application areas. These innovative novel models, algorithms and tools drive new science through efficient application in areas such as physical systems, computational and systems biology, environmental systems, finance, and others.
ICCS is an A-rank conference in CORE classification and one of the most cited events and publications in computational science according to Google Scholar, with h5-index=37 and h5-median=57.
Publications and Indexation
Out of the submitted full papers to the main track and workshops, we will select some 30% high-quality papers for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings. These are published by Elsevier in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series and indexed by Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation (former ISI Proceedings) – an integrated index within Web of Science. The papers will contain linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers.
After the conference, the best papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science (Impact Factor: 1.078, 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.553).
Venue
ICCS 2017 will take place at ETH Zürich’s Zentrum Campus, in Zürich, Switzerland.
Located in central Europe close to the Alps, Zürich is Switzerland’s largest city and one of the world’s main financial hubs, as well as home to many parks, museums and churches. The city stretches out on both sides of the Limmat river, which flows out of the beautiful Lake Zürich.
With a history dating back to 1855, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (“Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich” in German) is one of the most prestiged research institutions in the world, featuring often in the top 10 of several international rankings.
With a funding of 1.7 billion CHF (1.5 billion EUR / 1.7 billion USD), ETH Zürich has over 19000 students and 500 professors.
Since 1996, 330 spin-offs have originated in ETH, and the University reports 90 patent applications and 200 inventions every year.

- 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

As the conference theme this year is “The Art of Computational Science. Bridging Gaps – Forming Alloys”, papers highlighting the role of computational science as a broad, multidisciplinary science tackling problems and creating synergies with other fields will be particularly welcomed.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting research and recent developments in Computational Sciences.
The manuscripts of up to 10 pages, written in English and formatted according to the EasyChair templates, should be submitted electronically Templates will be available for download in Easychair’s right-hand-side menu, in a “New submission” mode.
Papers must be based on unpublished, original work and must be submitted to ICCS only.
You are welcome to participate in one of the thematic workshops or in the Main Track (if your topic does not fit any workshop but still falls within the scope of the conference). During submission, you may select either a “Full Paper” or a “Abstract Only” publication. The presentation default is an oral presentation, but you can check the “Poster Presentation” option in the submission page if you prefer.
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 published in a book of abstracts, but not in the Procedia Computer Science.
