Over the past
seventeen years, the
ACM Symposium
on Applied Computing (SAC) has
become a primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work.
Computational
Science lies at the core of applied computing and is a traditional component of
the SAC conference series.
Authors are
invited to contribute original papers to the Computational Sciences Track
hosted by SAC '09.
COMPUTATIONAL
SCIENCES TRACK
The aims of
this 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.
GUIDELINES
FOR SUBMISSION
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1) original and unpublished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.
á
Submissions will be in electronic format, via the
website: http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2009/
á
Submissions must follow the following template:
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/downloads09.htm
á
The papers cannot exceed 8 pages. Papers above 5
pages (in the camera ready version) will be charged $80 per extra page
á
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.
