We have UPDATED the full conference timetable. Check it out...

The Guide to ICCSA2020 Parallel Sessions

29th June 2020, 8 a.m. CET

We're publishing the guide on how to participate in the parallel sessions. It provides all the essential instructions on how to watch or join, participate and present in the sessions.

We ask all the ICCSA 2020 participants to read it carefully. The session chairs should pay extra attention for the directions about chairing sessions.

Go to the Guide...

"First Contact" meetups kick off

17th June, 2020, 1:00 a.m. CET.

We're kicking off the pre-conference meetups on the ICCSA Riot platform!

Right now, Europe and Africa are going to sleep, but the Pacific, Australia and Asia are gradually waking up. And the Americas are still up, although it's still 25th there.
So, feel free to look around, find your workshops and tracks, have a look at the uploaded presentations. (Some are still missing, but they are likely coming in the next hours...)

To learn how to access the ICCSA Riot platform, please see "How to ICCSA" page.

Have a good and pleasant "first contact".

Detailed conference programme coming soon...

26th June 2020

Dear ICCSA participants,

Just a brief update, to inform you that we're now in the process of building the detailed timetable of the parallel sessions.

Yesterday was the deadline for registration, so now that we have the full picture, it will take us few days to build the timetable.

Considering we need to fit all the papers in sessions, assign chairs, and check with workshop chairs about the order of presentations, we plan to publish it by Monday 29th June.

Just to give you an idea, we’re planning to run 6 parallel videoconferencing rooms on ICCSA Jitsi platform.
Following the rough time landscape in "Programme at a glance", the timetable will be organised in 1-hour time slots, with 4 papers presented per hour.
As you know, we’re allocating 10 minutes for each paper (8 min. presentation + 2 min.), so with 4 papers per hour we will be incorporating some robustness into it, with some extra time the session chairs will have at their disposal.

Thank you for your attention, and see you soon for the "First contact": the pre-conference meetups...

Programme at a glance

24th June, 2020

We have published the "Programme at a glance" page.

We remind all the participants to go through the "How to ICCSA" page, for instructions on sending their presentations and joining the pre-conference meetups.

Also, we invite workshop chairs to start creating rooms and uploading received presentations at the ICCSA Riot platform.

Thank you.

How to ICCSA (2020 Edition)

21th June, 2020

Dear ICCSA 2020 participants,

We have published the "How to ICCSA" page. In this page we present an overview of the conference activities, and want to give you preliminary guidelines and instructions for you to be able to participate.

To offer a well-rounded conference experience, we are organising two types of activities for each main track and workshop:

1. “First Contact”: pre-conference asynchronous meetups, from 27th June
   
   
2. “The Thing”: live, synchronous presentation and discussion sessions during the days of the conference, from 1st to 4th July

So, read on...

Keynote line-up

21th June, 2020

ABOUT ICCSA 2020

The 20th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2020) has been held on July 1 - 4, 2020 ONLINE in collaboration with the University of Cagliari, Italy.

ICCSA 2020 has been the next event in a series of highly successful International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA), previously held in Saint Petersburg, Russia (2019), Melbourne, Australia (2018), Trieste, Italy (2017), Beijing. China (2016), Banff, Canada (2015), Guimaraes, Portugal (2014), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2013), Salvador de Bahia, Brazil (2012), Santander, Spain (2011), Fukuoka, Japan (2010), Suwon, Korea (2009), Perugia, Italy (2008), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2007), Glasgow, UK (2006), Singapore (2005), Assisi, Italy (2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and (as ICCS) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands  (2002) and San Francisco, USA (2001). The first ICCSA conference was co-organized by C.J.K. Tan (UK) and M. Gavrilova (U of Calgary, Canada) in 2003.  

Computational Science is a main pillar of most of the present research, industrial and commercial activities and plays a unique role in exploiting Information and Communication Technologies as innovative technologies.

The ICCSA Conference offers a real opportunity to discuss new issues, tackle complex problems and find advanced enabling solutions able to shape new trends in Computational Science.

Submitted papers will be subject to stringent peer review by at least three experts and carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

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.

Springer is able to manage ORCID ID related to the authors and the Proceedings Volumes Editors! Please add the ORCID ID related to each author of your submitted paper!!!

Warning: Fake ICCSA Conference by WASET  
We have noticed the existence of organisations such as WASET that run fake “conferences” in order to make profit with the registration fees, often spoofing the names of real conferences. WASET claims to be organising a conference called ICCSA next year, which is a FAKE ICCSA conference.  
The Real ICCSA conference has been organised by the ICCSA Society since 2003. We do not have any involvement with WASET. Please spread this news to your contacts and communities so that nobody mistakenly participates to such fake conferences.

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers, either to the General Tracks, to the Workshops/Sessions or Short Papers. The papers are categorized as follows:

• General Tracks/Theme Papers: 10 to 16 pages formatted according to LNCS rules. After the reviewing process, the accepted papers will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes. General Tracks papers and papers belonging to Workshops which required LNCS ad editor will be included in LNCS proceedings.
• Workshop/Session Papers: 6 to 11 pages formatted according to CPS rules. After the reviewing process, the accepted papers of the Workshops which required the Conference Publishing Services (CPS) as editor will be included in the CPS proceedings.
• PHD Showcase Papers: 5 to 8 pages formatted according to CPS rules. After the reviewing process, the accepted PHD Showcase papers, reporting ongoing research already achieving significant results and primarily carried out by Ph.D. students and junior researchers, will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS).
• Short Papers: 7 to 9 pages formatted according to LNCS rules. After the reviewing process, the accepted Short papers, reporting preliminary results of ongoing research, will be published on Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes.

All papers submitted to the General Tracks of ICCSA 2020 will be published in LNCS.

Each paper must be original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of the authors).

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three experts in the relevant field ensuring the publication of only top quality contributions.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors should register and present orally the paper in the conference. Failure to do so shall lead to rejection of the application to attend next year conference and the exclusion of the paper for the current year proceedings.

Paper Submission

The submission of contributions to ICCSA 2020 follows the following steps:

Authentication

The author has to login into the Electronic Submission System, available at the URL: https://cyb20.iccsa.org. If the author is using the system for the first time, she/he has to Register. If the author had already used the system in previous editions of the ICCSA Conference, she/he has to register to the system. since this year we decided to refresh the author's information. At the end of the authentication phase the author's home page will be shown, with a summary of the abstracts and papers submitted by the author.

Two step submission

Each submission to ICCSA 2020 starts submitting an Abstract (1st phase). This phase is facilitated because the author's information are collected during the Registration phase to the Electronic Submission Site. If the author intends to submit the paper to a Workshop (see http://2020.iccsa.org/workshops) she/he has to pay attention to select the proper Workshop from the list shown in the Abstract submission form. It is recommended to submit the Abstract early in advance, to facilitate the Conference organization.

When preparing the Full Paper the author has to  carefully check the adopted layout, i.e.:

• LNCS format for General Tracks Papers and for Workshops which selected the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Proceedings.
  
• Conference Publishing Services (CPS) format for the Workshops  which selected CPS (XPlore) Proceedings and for PhD Showcase Papers.

 Then the author has to submit the Full Paper (phase 2) in PDF format. The paper details are kept from the Abstract, so this process is quite easy and fast.

The submitted Paper will be submitted to the reviewing process.

The author is allowed to update the version of her/his Paper before the submission deadline.

Camera Ready submission

After receiving the notification of acceptance, the authors of accepted Papers will be asked to modify their Paper according to the Reviewers recommendations and to submit the Camera Ready version  of their paper and all source files necessary to produce the final version by the Editor and sign the Copyright Transfer Form (phase 3).

The procedure will depend on the type of Editor  (LNCS or CPS): :

1. For papers to be published in LNCS (General Tracks Papers and Workshop Papers (wich selected LNCS)  and Short Papers: the authors have to upload in the Electronic Submission System the Camera Ready version of the accepted paper, the related source files and the signed  Copyright Transfer form.
   
   
2. For papers to be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) (CPS Full Papers and PHD Showcase Papers): the authors have to upload the source files and fill the Copyright Transfer Form online on the Author's Kit Web page, which URL was also provided in the Acceptance Notification letter or published on http://2020.iccsa.org.

Submitted papers not conforming to the above layouts will be excluded from the Review phase.

Replace NAME and SURNAME with your full name. In case administrative people will issue the payment, make clear they have to conform to the above syntax. This is crucial in order to have your payment properly traced, since some banks cut the string to a small number of characters!!!!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

1) The bank wire transfer and other related fees have to be paid by the participant.

2) After sending your registration payment by bank wire transfer, scan the bank receipt and attach the PDF file in an email to:

Email: registration2020@iccsa.org

Subject: Payment NAME SURNAME(Note: Fill in NAME SURNAME with your full name, so that we will be able to monitor your payment with your registration entry).

Note: To facilitate the acknowledgement of bank wire transfer payment, be sure to provide your complete name, details of amount paid, and other applicable information. Insufficient information causes delay and problems.
