Paper submission is now open. Deadline extended to 12 February 2021 (final extension).
The International Conference on Computational Science 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 2021 in Kraków, Poland, will be the twenty-first in this series of highly successful conferences. Located on the Vistula River, Kraków is the second largest city in Poland and one of the leading centers of Polish academic, economic, cultural and artistic life.
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.
Out of the submitted full papers to the main track and thematic tracks, 30% high-quality papers will be selected for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings. These are published by Springer in the 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.
As the conference theme this year is “Computational Science for a Better Future”, papers highlighting the role of Computational Science in tackling the current challenges of our fast-changing world will be particularly welcomed.
ICCS is well known for its excellent line-up of keynote speakers. Confirmed so far are:
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.
ICCS 2021 and COVID-19
ICCS 2021 will happen in either fully virtual or hybrid (virtual and in-person) mode.
A hybrid mode will only be considered if the global health conditions allow for a safe conference to take place.
Regardless of the format ICCS eventually operates in, realistically, many potential participants may not be able to travel to Krakow in June. Therefore, in any case, all ICCS participants will have the option to present and attend online. The decision on the final operating mode of the event will be announced in early 2021.
