CALL FOR PAPERS

8th IEEE International Conference on eScience
http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/escience2012/
October 8-12, 2012
Chicago, IL, USA

Researchers in all disciplines are increasingly adopting digital tools, 
techniques and practices, often in communities and projects that span 
disciplines, laboratories, organizations, and national boundaries. The 
eScience 2012 conference is designed to bring together leading 
international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, 
and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The 
conference serves as a forum to present the results of the latest 
applications research and product/tool developments and to highlight 
related activities from around the world. Also, we are now entering the 
second decade of eScience and the 2012 conference gives an opportunity 
to take stock of what has been achieved so far and look forward to the 
challenges and opportunities the next decade will bring.

A special emphasis of the 2012 conference is on advances in the 
application of technology in a particular discipline. Accordingly, 
significant advances in applications science and technology will be 
considered as important as the development of new technologies 
themselves. Further, we welcome contributions in educational activities 
under any of these disciplines.

As a result, the conference will be structured around two e-Science tracks:

. eScience Algorithms and Applications
. eScience application areas, including:
. Physical sciences
. Biomedical sciences
. Social sciences and humanities
. Data-oriented approaches and applications
. Compute-oriented approaches and applications
. Extreme scale approaches and applications
. Cyberinfrastructure to support eScience
. Novel hardware
. Novel uses of production infrastructure
. Software and services
. Tools

The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer 
Society Press, USA and will be made available online through the IEEE 
Digital Library. Selected papers will be invited to submit extended 
versions to a special issue of the Future Generation Computer Systems 
(FGCS)journal.

SUBMISSION PROCESS
Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of 
not more than 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point 
size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines. 
(Up to 2 additional pages may be purchased for US$150/page)

Templates are available from 
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

Authors should submit a PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer 
tohttps://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=escience2012

(Note that paper submitters also must submit an abstract in advance of 
the paper deadline. This should be done through the same site where 
papers are submitted.)

It is a requirement that at least one author of each accepted paper 
attend the conference.
