C3S2E'12 : Fifth International C* Conference on Computer Science & Software

Engineering

Montreal, QC, CANADA. 27-29 June, 2012

CALL FOR REGULAR, TRACKS,WORKSHOPS AND POSITION PAPERS; POSTERS AND DEMO

C3S2E12[*]is the fifth in a series of international conferences to

address the need of the academic community in computing science and

software engineering. The objective of C3S2E is to meet annually to

exchange ideas on the continuing need to address the new challenges

both from the theoretical as well as application aspects of computing

and engineering of software systems. C3S2E encourages the

participation of practitioners from governmental and non-governmental

agencies, industries, and academia.

C3S2E invites quality papers describing original and applied research

ideas and new findings on technological and theoretical aspects of

computing and software engineering. In particular, we welcome

submissions describing work on integrating new technologies into

products and applications, on experiences with existing and novel

techniques, and on the identification of unsolved challenges. We

consider this meeting to be an important forum to discuss experiences

in applying computing and software engineering to actual

situations. Authors are invited to submit papers in English or French,

reporting recent research in the area of computing and software

development theories and practices and experience in related

fields. While research papers should report original research work,

experience and application papers should describe the development and

operations of challenging computing related systems and applications.

The symposium will have focused sessions in the following areas:

* Algorithms and Theory

* Artificial Intelligence and Related Subjects

* Bio-medical,life science and medical computing

* Computational Linguistics

* Computing Applications

* Core Computing Technology

* Data Bases

* E-Commerce

* Ethics

* Hardware and Architecture

* Human-Computer Interaction

* Open Source

* Parallel Computing

* Programming Languages

* Privacy and Security

* Software Engineering

* Supercomputing

* System Technology

* Virtual Reality

* Web Design and Development

* Emerging computing technologies

The scope of the conference includes the above topics but is not

restricted to these areas in computing and software engineering:

following are some of the topics typically used by computer scientists

to describe their interests.

Algorithms, Applications, Artificial intelligence, Automata theory,

Automated reasoning, Bioinformatics, Compiler theory, Computability

theory, Computational complexity theory, Computational linguistic,

Computer architecture, Computer graphics, Computer programming,

Computer security, Computer vision, Concurrency, Cryptography, Data

Models, Data mining, Data structures, Data warehousing, Digital

library, Distributed computing, Expert Systems, Formal methods,

Functional Programming, Game theory, Graph theory, Human computer

INVITED TALKS

Health: a new concept and many new opportunities in the Age of Social Media

Alejandro (Alex) R. Jadad, MD DPhil,

University of Toronto and University Health Network

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS

First International Workshop on Formal Methods for Self-Adaptive

Systems (FMSAS 2012). Submissions for the workshops are through

ConfSys(see below).Please address any inquiries about the workshop to

'fmsas[at]confevent[dot]net'.

POSITION PAPERS

In addition to regular papers, position papers are invited. These

papers could be work in progress and/or exploring of new concepts and

directions.

Position papers should be clearly marked on the first page and for the

review purpose could be of a length varying from a short paper(6-10

pages) to a regular full paper(15-20 pages).

POSTER & DEMOS

This is an integral part of this meeting. In the poster session,

graduate students are invited to compete by presenting their work in

progress either as a poster or a demo. The students have a chance to

orally present their work and also display the salient features of

their work and answer questions. The posters would be judged by the

attendants and the best posters could be awarded prizes.

The length of a poster paper and demo proposal for review purpose

would be 5-7 pages. The adviser could be a co:author of a poster paper

or demo proposal, however, if the poster paper/demo is accepted, the

student is required to register and participate. Poster papers and

demo summaries would be published as part of the proceedings.

CULTURAL/SOCIAL EVENTS

In addition to the conference dinner, there would an opportunity to

take in some of the Jazz fest of Montreal, visit museums and just

enjoy the city in summer.

CONFERENCE PUBLICATION

The conference proceedings will be published by BytePress in

association with ACM and would be added to ACM's Digital Library. All

submissions would also be invited to publish their papers in the CINDI

Digital Library. The extended version of the best papers would also be

invited for publication in the first issue of CS2E journal which would

be launched in 2012.

All accepted papers along with the copyright forms must be submitted

electronically before the deadline to

https://confsys.encs.concordia.ca/ConfSys

Submission Guidelines

Please prepare the full paper in proportional font size of 11 or

12(Times Roman font or equivalent) with spacing of 1.5 lines. The

paper, for review, should be about 5000 words (15-20 pages).

The upload to ConSys should be in PDF format. Please do not use any

special characters or foreign language fonts. Reviewers may not be

able to open such documents. Please observe the following:

FORM OF MANUSCRIPT

Manuscripts should be formatted for single sided letter or A4 sized

paper, with spacing of at least 1.5 lines with a 2.5cm margins on all

sides. Number pages consecutively with the first page containing the

title, the authors, the affiliation, a short abstract from 100 to 250

words, and five to ten key words. Also, indicated all the topics for

the paper from the list of topics for the conference in ConfSys. Since

these topics as well as the abstract will be used by ConfSys to help

the program committee members choose appropriate papers, it is

essential to make them as indicative of the contents of the paper as

possible.

STATEMENT OF EXCLUSIVE SUBMISSION

Submissions must be original. The work cannot have been published

previously or be pending publication in another forum and submissions

cannot be under review by any other forum.

It is expected that all authors accept the following statement:

This paper (or a similar version) is not currently under review by a

journal or conference, nor will it be submitted to such until the

result of this review has been communicated. Furthermore, the

author(s) agree to abide by the decision of the Program chairs and

would participate in the meeting should the paper be accepted.

The author who submits a paper is expected to inform all co:authors of

the submission and has their approval.

Authors should submit only papers that have been carefully proofread

and polished. Papers that are clearly unacceptable will be returned by

the editor without being reviewed. Authors must clearly acknowledge

the contributions of their predecessors.

Submissions will be evaluated on their originality and significance.

Though a group of authors may submit multiple papers, we expect that

each paper would be presented by a separate co:author to allow for a

wider point of views during the presentations and discussions. The

authors are expected to upload the paper in PDF format.

PDF format Guidelines

At a minimum, basic PDF distiller settings MUST be changed so PDF

files are: optimized, set to Acrobat 4.0 compatibility, all graphics

are set to at least 300 dpi resolution, ALL fonts used must be

embeddable. Some font manufacturers now flag their fonts to not

embed. These fonts should be avoided. Postscript settings SHOULD NOT

override distiller settings and page size is 612.0 x 792.0 points

(8.5" x 11"). Authors should check their final PDF files before

submission to verify that all fonts have been properly embedded and

subset. Please DO NOT USE type 1 (bit-mapped) fonts; they do not

display correctly in most PDF readers.

The program committee reserves the right to consider any paper, to be

accepted as a short paper or to be presented in a poster or the

workshop session. One of the authors of each accepted paper is

expected to present the paper in person.
