C A L L F O R P A P E R S =============================== The 2008 International Conference on Scientific Computing CSC'08 Date and Location: July 14-17, 2008, Las Vegas, USA You are invited to submit a full paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings/book. SCOPE: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: O Inversion problems O Computational physics O Computational chemistry O Mathematical modeling O Computational models O Computational fluid dynamics O Monte Carlo methods and applications O Supercomputing and scientific computing O Scientific visualization O Numerical methods and simulation O Ordinary and partial differential equations O Molecular dynamics O Stochastic differential equations O Optimization and optimal control O Finite element methods O Software architectures for scientific computing O Scientific computing and supercomputing benchmark design O domain decomposition methods O Seismic data processing O Multi-level and Multi-grid methods O Iterative methods O Krylov methods O Level-set methods O Atmospheric science O Integral equations O Operational research O Dynamical systems O Generalized eigen-problems O Coupled problems O Nonsymmetric solvers O Nonlinear systems and eigenvalue solvers O Computational electromagnetics O Computational electrodynamics O Numerical linear algebra O Approximation theory O Mathematics and circuit simulation O Mathematical software tools O Splines and wavelets and applications O Engineering problems and emerging applications O Applications of scientific computing in physics, mechanics, chemistry, biology, environmental and hydrology problems, production scheduling, automotive industry, ... SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper (about 5 to 7 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to Prof. H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 25, 2008 ([log in to unmask]). email submissions in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable. All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for publication.) The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author as well as the name of the conference the paper is being submitted to (ie, CSC'08). The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. Each paper will be refereed by two experts in the field who are independent of the conference program committee. The referees' evaluations will then be reviewed by one member of the program committee who will recommend a decision to the co-chairs of the track. The track chairs will make the final decision. Lastly, the Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one member of the program committee.
