[Swift-user] CFP: 8th IEEE International Conference on eScience -- Chicago IL USA, October 8th-12 2012

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Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of 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
to https://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.
