ICCSA 2006 Technical Session on Geocomputation

> The 2006 International Conference on Computational Science and its
> Applications (ICCSA 2006)
>
> Technical Session on GeoComputation
>
> Call for Paper
>
> The 2006 International Conference on Computational Science and its
> Applications (http://www.iccsa.org/) will be held at The Hilton Glasgow,
> Scotland, UK from May 8-11, 2006.
>
> Aim of the Technical Session:
>
> Computational science involves using computers to study scientific
problems.
> GeoComputation is the art and science of solving complex spatial problems
with
> computers. It is focused on the research, development and application of
> spatial information technologies to address social, economic and
environmental
> problems at human and geographical scales.
>
> Geocomputation is concerned with new computational techniques, algorithms,
and
> paradigms that are dependent upon and can take advantage of high
performance
> computing (HPC) and high throughput computer (HTC). It includes spatial
data
> analysis, dynamic modeling, simulation, space-time dynamics and
visualization
> and virtual reality.
>
> GeoComputation represents a conscious attempt to move the research agenda
back
> to geographical analysis and modeling, with or without GIS in tow. Its
concern
> is to enrich geography with a toolbox of methods to model and analyze a
range
> of highly complex, often non-deterministic problems. It is about not
> compromising the geography, nor enforcing the use of unhelpful or
simplistic
> representations. It is a conscious effort to explore the middle ground
from
> the doubly-informed perspective of geography and computer science. A true
> enabling technology for the quantitative geographer, a rich source of
> computational and representational challenges for the computer scientist.
>
> This conference will offer presentations from a variety of sources, both
> local, national and international and will enable you to network with
others
> working in similar fields.
>
> Invitation to Submit a Paper
>
> We invite you to submit a paper to the Technical Session on
Geocomputation.
> You may submit a full paper of a maximum of 6 to 10 pages (Letter or A4
paper)
> for oral presentation. Submitted papers have to be original, containing
new
> and original results. The submitted paper must be camera-ready and
formatted
> according to the rules of LNCS. For formatting information, see the
publishers
> web site (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submission
implies
> the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the
> paper.
>
> The submission must be performed electonically only through
> http://cyberchair.iccsa.org. Electronic submissions will be in MS Word,
PS, or
> PDF (please also submit all .eps, .dvi, and .ps files). The acceptance can
be
> conditional on the basis of improvements as advised by the referee or
program
> committee suggestions or because of inappropriate formatting and
preparation
> of the paper. Whether your paper is finally accepted is subject to the
> discretion of the ICCSA organizers, on the basis whether the suggestions
and
> guidelines have been followed. Please submit your full paper for review by
> November 21, 2005.
>
> A camera-ready version of your accepted paper must be submitted
electronically
> via the paper submission web page (http://cyberchair.iccsa.org) by
February 1,
> 2006 and must comply with the camera-ready format.
>
> Proceedings
>
> The proceedings of the Conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag
> Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. A selected number of
papers
> will also be published as special issues of the appropriate journals.
>
> Important Dates
>
> Full papers submission November 21, 2005
> Notification of acceptance of papers January 15, 2006
> Camera ready papers and pre-registration February 1, 2006

> Registration
>
> Registration in the "The 2006 International Conference on Computational
> Science and its Applications" is compulsory for at least one of the
authors of
