The aims of the Computational Sciences Track are to draw attention to new developments in computational sciences; to promote the exchange of ideas across disciplinary boundaries; and to foster the education of young computational scientists.

Major topics include, but are not limited to:

· Numerical and Non-Numerical Algorithms of interest in applications;

· Parallel and High-Performance Algorithms;

· Computational Applications in all Scientific and Engineering fields (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Mechanics, Statistics, Geosciences, etc);

· New Computational Application Areas (e.g. Arts, Finance, etc.);

· Optimization and Data Assimilation;

Problem-Solving Environments.

Camera-Ready Copy due

Original papers and poster abstracts from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be considered. This includes three categories of submissions:

1) original and unpublished research;

2) reports of innovative computational applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, business, government, education and industry; and

3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.

Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by several referees. The accepted papers in all categories will be published in the ACM Press SAC'09 proceedings. A select group of papers may also be published in a Special Issue of the Applied Computing Review (SIGAPP ACR) after the conference.

· Submissions will be in electronic format, via the website:

http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2009

·< Submissions must follow the following template:

http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/downloads09.htm

The papers cannot exceed 8 pages. Papers above 5 pages (in the camera ready version) will be charged $80 per extra page

· The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate the doubly-blind blind review. Only the title should be shown on the first page without the author's information.
