From: sriram@gouda.cs.wisc.edu (Sriram Vajapeyam) Newsgroups: comp.parallel Subject: CFP: Computational Science (due July 31,'99) Date: 5 May 1999 03:40:40 GMT Organization: U of Wisconsin CS Dept Approved: bigrigg@cs.cmu.edu Message-Id: <7goejo$m84$1@goldenapple.srv.cs.cmu.edu> Originator: bigrigg@ux6.sp.cs.cmu.edu Xref: ukc comp.parallel:15547 Call for Articles Current Science: Special Section on Computational Science A journal published by Current Science Association in collaboration with Indian Academy of Sciences (WebPage: http://gangothri.serc.iisc.ernet.in/~sriram/CmplSci-splsec/) We solicit articles for a special section of the journal Current Science, on the topic of Computational Science. This special section is devoted to the application of high-performance computing to the solution of problems in science and engineering. Current Science has a wide readership of about 4500 researchers spanning several disciplines of science and engineering. We plan to provide wide publicity to the special issue in the world-wide computational science community. We also hope to make this special issue serve as the preferred first reading for a new professional or a graduate student in the area. We solicit articles that address issues in achieving practical computing solutions to real science and engineering problems. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: * high-performance numerical methods * experiences with program development and optimization for specific computing platforms * software tools that enhance the computational capabilities of scientists * special-purpose computing platforms for specific applications * trends in compute-power demands of particular applications Articles should be written with the following broad categories in mind: (i) research articles (short or long), (ii) perspectives, (iii) tutorials, and (iv) opinion pieces. Typical research, perspective, and tutorial articles should be no longer than about 5 printed pages (3000 words), though we will consider all submissions. Opinion pieces should be significantly shorter, typically around 1000 words. All articles will be reviewed by the guest editors and at least two external referees from a set of international referees. Acceptance will be based strictly on the reviews and on the willingness of the authors to recast the article to satisfy the reviewers. In addition to typical review criteria, articles will be especially evaluated for their accessibility to a broad audience. Research articles will be evaluated for the novelty of the reported research. Research articles from specific disciplines should be written with extra care to abstract out and focus on the inherent computational aspects of the problem, keeping domain-specific information to a bare minimum. Perspective articles should typically provide an expert analysis and/or future projections of computational science aspects: applications, computing demands, etc.. Tutorial articles will be evaluated for their effectiveness in aiding the novice computational scientist, for example (but not in all cases) a first-year graduate student in any discipline of science or engineering. Opinion articles can address any technical or non-technical aspect of computational science, including issues such as policy, education, employment, etc. Opinion articles will be reviewed for their basis in facts and for a balanced, tempered presentation of opinions. These articles should have a separate section on the facts that are being commented upon. Any article submitted to this special issue should not already be published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Important Dates: * Article Submission Deadline: July 31, 1999. * Intimation of Selection: Sept. 30, 1999. * Final Paper due: Nov. 30, 1999.
