Call for Papers ===================================================================== The Seventh International Conference on Computational Sciences and Optimization (CSO 2014) Beijing, China, July 4-6, 2014 http://www.gip.hk/cso2014/ (Papers Due: March 15, 2014March 23, 2014) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Computational Sciences and Optimization are two important disciplines in modern sciences concerned with many areas ranging from engineering, management, finance, and economics, to arts and humanities. Currently some new challenges arise in the modeling of complex systems, sophisticated algorithms, advanced scientific and engineering computing and associated problem-solving environments. Because the solution of complex problems must cope with tight timing schedules, powerful computational algorithms and complex optimization techniques are inevitable for solving some practical problems. In order to strengthen academic exchanges and discussions on the fields of computational sciences and optimization, the Seventh International Conference on Computational Sciences and Optimization (CSO 2014) will be held on July 4-6, 2014 in Beijing, China. The main theme of this conference is “Computational Sciences and Optimization in Big Data Era”. We are pleased to invite you to attend this important event and to submit papers and workshop proposals. All accepted papers will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS). Some selected high-quality papers will be published in the special issues of several SCI/SCI-E indexed main-stream international journals. +++++++++++++++++++ Topics of Interest +++++++++++++++++++ The CSO2014 Conference solicitously invites original contributions on all relevant topics related to Computational Sciences, Applied Computing and Optimization Theory, Methods and Applications including, but not limited to: Main Track A: Computational Sciences A01: Numerical Algorithms and Analysis A02: Computational Simulation and Analysis A03: Hybrid and Combined Computational Methods A04: Complex Systems Modeling and Simulation A05: Possibility Theory and Markov Models A06: Computational Mathematics/Statistics A07: Computational Physics/Chemistry/Biology A08: Computational Engineering A09: Computational Intelligence A10: Computational Economics and Finance Main Track B: Applied Computing B01: Scientific and Engineering Computing B02: Parallel and Distributed Computing B03: Grid Computing and Cluster Computing B04: Internet Computing and Web Computing B05: Mobile Computing and Cloud Computing B06: Social Computing and Soft Computing B07: Kernel-based Computing and SVM B08: Neural Computing and ANN B09: Data Mining and KDD B10: Big Data Computing Main Track C: Optimization Theory, Methods and Applications C01: Linear and Nonlinear Programming C02: Stochastic Programming C03: Integer and Dynamic Programming C04: Parametric Programming C05: Nonconvex Programming and Nonsmooth Programming C06: Multi-level and Multiobjective Programming C07: Game Theory C08: Global Optimization and Combinatorial Optimization C09: Fuzzy Optimization and Network Optimization C10: Optimization Application to Economics/Finance/Industry/Engineering ++++++++++++++++ Important Dates ++++++++++++++++ Full paper submission: March 15, 2014March 23, 2014 Paper acceptance notification: March 25, 2014March 30, 2014 Camera-ready papers: April 5, 2014April 10, 2014 Conference Registration: March 25, 2014-April 5, 2014March 31-April 10, 2014 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────── For more details about CSO2014, please visit the conference sites: http://www.gip.hk/cso2014/ Further Information, please contact: cso2014org@126.com =====================================================================
