The International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS) 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 2018 in Wuxi, China, will be the eighteenth 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. An archive of the previous meetings is available through the Previous ICCS conferences page.
The theme for ICCS 2018 is “Science at the Intersection of Data, Modelling and Computation”, to highlight the role of these three fundamental concepts in shaping modern science. 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 the CORE classification.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original, unpublished research and recent developments in Computational Sciences.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 2018 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
As the conference theme this year is “Science at the Intersection of Data, Modelling and Computation”, papers highlighting the role of these three fundamental concepts in shaping modern science will be particularly welcomed.
The manuscripts of 10-14 pages, written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS templates, should be submitted electronically via EasyChair. You also have the option of submitting a short paper of 5-7 pages. Both Full and Short Papers use the same templates and are published in LNCS.Templates are available for download in EasyChair horizontal menu “Templates”.
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.
Deadlines for draft paper submission, notification of acceptance, camera-ready paper submission and registration may be found in the Important Dates section.
You are welcome to participate in one of the thematic workshops or in the Main Track (if your topic does do fit any workshop but still falls within the scope of the conference). During submission, you may select either a “Full/Short Paper” or a “Abstract Only” publication. By default, it would be an oral presentation. If you prefer to present a poster, please check the “Poster Presentation” option in the submission page.
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 LNCS.
After the conference, the best papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science (Impact Factor: 1.748, 5-Year Impact Factor: 2.009)
