You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published by IEEE CPS (+ IEEE Xplore) in the proceedings of The 2016 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI). The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data. Extended versions of selected papers of the conference will also appear in journals and edited research books. The published proceedings can be accessed via IEEE CPS and other Digital libraries. FEATURED KEYNOTE SPEAKER: CSCI'16 International Conference is composed of a number of symposiums, sessions, workshops, posters and panel discussions; all will be held simultaneously, same location and dates: December 15-17, 2016. There will be a number of Invited Lectures - This year's Featured Keynote Lecture will be delivered by: Dr. Erik Katsavounidis Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, USA Member of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO - operated jointly by Caltech, https://www.caltech.edu/ and MIT http://www.mit.edu/ ) http://news.mit.edu/2016/ligo-first-detection-gravitational-waves-0211 http://americancse.org/events/csci2016/keynotes SCOPE AND LIST OF TOPICS: The 2016 CSCI International Conference invites paper submissions from diverse communities, including researchers from: universities, corporations, government agencies, and standardization bodies. Papers are sought that address solutions to problems in all areas of computational science and computational intelligence. Computational Science is the study of addressing problems that are impossible to solve (or difficult to solve) without computers. The field is interdisciplinary by nature and includes the use of advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex problems. In short, Computational Science is the science of using computers to do science. Computational Intelligence is the study of computational methods in ways that exhibit intelligence. These methods adapt to changing environments and changing goals. Considering the above broad outline, the International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI'16) is inviting paper submissions for the following research and technical tracks (the web site for each symposium provides a detailed scope and a list of topics) - see: O. Symposium on Big Data and Data Science (CSCI-ISBD) http://americancse.org/events/csci2016/Symposiums/csci-isbd O. Symposium on Internet of Things & Internet of Everything (CSCI-ISOT) http://americancse.org/events/csci2016/Symposiums/csci-isot O. Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing and Computational Science (CSCI-ISPD) http://americancse.org/events/csci2016/Symposiums/csci-ispd INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION: All accepted papers of all symposiums will be published by IEEE CPS: http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/services/comp_society.html as part of the proceedings of The 2016 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI'16). Past year's CSCI proceedings are indexed into IEEE Xplore Digital Library and can be accessed via: Volume I (2014): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=6822065 Volume II (2014): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=6822285 Volume (2015): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7420813 and via ACM Digital Library at: http://dl.acm.org/ Papers should be typeset by using the general typesetting instructions available at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html (i.e., use of regular Times New Roman, font size of 10, single line spacing, 2-column format). Authors of accepted papers will later receive more specific typesetting instructions. All submissions must be original (papers must not have been previously published or currently being considered by others for publication). Submissions must be in either MS doc or pdf formats (6 pages for Regular Research Papers; 4 pages for Short Papers; 2 pages for Poster Papers - the number of pages include all figures, tables, and references). The first page of the paper should include the followings: - Title of the paper - Name, affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author (identify the name of the Contact Author) - Abstract (between 100 and 120 words) - A maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the work described in the paper - Write the type of the submission as "Full/Regular Research Paper", "Short Paper", or "Poster Paper" - Write the acronym of the most relevant symposium that this paper is being submitted to (Acronyms are: CSCI-ISBD, CSCI-ISOT, and CSCI-ISPD). - The actual text of the paper can start from the first page (space permitting). Submissions are to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site portal at: http://american-cse.org/ TYPE OF SUBMISSIONS/PAPERS: - Full/Regular Research Papers (maximum of 6 pages): Regular Research Papers should provide detail original research contributions. They must report new research results that represent a contribution to the field; sufficient details and support for the results and conclusions should also be provided. The work presented in regular papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity that with some additional work can be published as journal papers. - Short Papers (maximum of 4 pages): Short papers report on ongoing research projects. They should provide overall research methodologies with some results. The work presented in short papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity that with some additional work can be published as regular papers. - Poster Papers (maximum of 2 pages): Poster papers report on ongoing research projects that are still in their infancy (i.e., at very early stages). Such papers tend to provide research methodologies without yet concrete results. REVIEW PROCESS Each paper will be peer-reviewed by 2 to 4 peers (except for papers that are philosophical in nature - such papers would be considered for panel discussions.) Confidentiality of submitted material will be maintained. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, impact, significance, quality of research, quality of writing, and contribution to conference program and diversity. Papers whose authors include one or more members of the program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. DEADLINES - DATES: October 24, 2016: (11:59pm US Eastern Time Zone) Extended Submission of Papers November 02, 2016: Notification of acceptance (+/- 2 days) November 12, 2016: Final papers and Registration for Authors of Accepted Papers December 15-17, 2016: Symposium on Big Data and Data Science (CSCI-ISBD) + Symposium on Internet of Things & Internet of Everything (CSCI-ISOT) + Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing and Computational Science (CSCI-ISPD). All the above research and technical tracks together with affiliated tracks form The 2016 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI'16: Las Vegas, USA). These tracks will be held simultaneously (i.e., same location and dates) facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines.
