CALL FOR PAPERS：Special Session on Data and Knowledge Exploration of MACIS 2015
(http://geo.cc4cm.org/macis-2015-session9)
About MACIS
===========
MACIS is a series of biennial conferences focusing on research in
mathematical
and computational aspects of computing and information science. It is
broadly
concerned with algorithmic issues arising from the rich interplay across the
Numerical/Algebraic/Geometric/Topological axes. These issues often in
scientific
and engineering computation where we need experimental studies to validate
or
complement the theory. MACIS is interested in outstanding and emerging
problems
in all these areas.
Aim and Scope of the Special Session
====================================
The increased interest in discovering and managing the underlying, valid,
insightful,
and valuable knowledge from diverse, massive, complex, and fast changing
data has
stimulated the study and applications of many mathematical theories (for
instance,
topology, computational geometry, differential equations, fluid dynamics,
and quantum
statistics). Various methods and techniques have been proposed to solve
problems in
designing, analyzing, and implementing data-intensive and knowledge-based
information
systems. This special session of MACIS 2015 aims at gathering researchers,
engineers, and others
interested in exploring mathematical methods for scientifically analyzing
data and
systematically managing knowledge to discuss theoretical and practical
challenges and
to present recent research progress and results dedicated (not exhausted) in
- mathematical foundation and theories for data-intensive and
knowledge-based systems
- mathematical methods and techniques for complex knowledge
representation, organization,
visualization, searching, and management
- theories and efficient methods for knowledge reasoning, revision, and
validation
- statistical, dynamic, logical analysis of data and knowledge models
- mathematical modeling of recommendation systems, ranking systems,
rating systems,
expert systems, etc.
Important Dates
===============
- Easy Chair open for all submissions: Apr 21, 2015
(SHORT papers are decided on a rolling basis)
- Deadline for submission of all papers: August 30, 2015
- Notification on REGULAR papers: September 30, 2015
- Camera Ready papers: November 30, 2015
- MACIS Conference: November 11-13, 2015
Important Author Information for MACIS 2015
===============================
MACIS 2015 will be held in the renowned Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB)
centrally located in the capital of Germany. Named after Konrad Zuse, the
inventor of the first programmable computer, ZIB is an interdisciplinary
institute for applied mathematics and data-intensive high-performance
computing. Its research areas in modeling, simulation and optimization in
partnership with academia and industry is exemplary of the goals of MACIS.
MACIS 2015 aims to span two conference cultures, that of computer
science and of mathematics: mathematical conferences allow informal
presentations in order to allow rapid dissemination of ideas and feedback
from the community. But their talk abstracts are expected to turn into
peer-reviewed journal papers. Computer science conferences expect
close-to-final
papers to appear in conference proceedings. Often such papers might be
the final publication. Recognizing the value of both modes of scientific
communication, MACIS 2015 will accept two categories of papers, SHORT and
REGULAR. To facilitate your travel planning, we will make decisions on
SHORT papers on a rolling basis, normally 10-15 days after submission.
REGULAR papers will go through a standard refereeing process by the PC.
MACIS 2015 aims to be a forum for researchers. Within the MACIS framework,
you can easily organize Special Sessions (SS) for current hot topics. We
invite you to send us inquiries or proposals, addressed to y...@cs.nyu.edu.
A post-conference proceedings will be published with Springer's in the LNCS
series. In addition, following the conference, authors will have
the opportunity to submit to planned special issues of the journal
"Mathematics in Computer Science" (http://www.cc4cm.org/mcs), published by
Birkhauser/Springer (www.springer.com/birkhauser/mathematics/journal/11786).
Submission Guideline
===============
Original research papers in English, including experimental work and
work-in-progress are welcome. All papers must be categorized as SHORT or
REGULAR, and indicate the Special Session (i.e., SS9). Paper titles must be
tagged as illustrated here:
"SHORT-SS9: ...title..." -or- "REGULAR-SS9: ...title..."
The 2-part tag must be in the same line as the title.
REGULAR papers are up to 15 pages, and SHORT papers are up to 5 pages,
inclusive of references. The Special Session tag is a hint to the PC,
but it is non-binding on the author or on the PC. Submit via EasyChair:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=macis2015
There is an option to convert from SHORT papers to REGULAR papers:
simply make a new submission for your REGULAR paper before the deadline,
keeping the same title but with a new tag. For travel planning
purposes, we recommend submitting a SHORT paper immediately, and converting
into a REGULAR paper as desired.
At least one author of each accepted submission must register at MACIS 2015.
Decision on the SHORT paper will be made on a rolling basis, normally about
10-15 days after submission. The title and abstract of accepted papers
will appear on our Website shortly after acceptance, and published in the
post-conference proceedings.
