The 2010 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications 
(ICCSA 2010) will be held on March 23-26, 2010, at Kyushu Sangyo University, Fukuoka, Japan. 

ICCSA 2010 is the next event in the series of highly successful International Conferences on 
Computational Science and Its Applications, previously held in Suwon, Korea (2009), Perugia, 
Italy (2008), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2007), Glasgow, United Kingdom (2006), Singapore (2005), 
Assisi, Italy (2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and, as ICCS, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands 
(2002) and San Francisco (2001).

Computational Science is a main pillar of most of the present research, industrial and commercial 
activities and plays a unique role in exploiting ICT innovative technologies. 
The ICCSA Conference offers a real opportunity to bring together scientists of different 
disciplines, discuss new issues, tackle complex problems and find advanced solutions breeding 
new trends in Computational Science.

For this reason we cordially invite you to submit, either to the general sessions or to the 
International 
Workshops, contributions concerned with the Themes listed below as papers:
     of 10 to 16 pages (Theme Papers) that, after the reviewing process, will be published in the 
        Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes.
     of 5 to 11 pages (Session Papers) that, after the reviewing process, will be published in the 
        IEEE Computer Society proceedings.
Papers submitted to the general sessions have to adopt the LNCS format.
Papers submitted to a given session should adopt a common format (IEEE-CS or LNCS, according 
to the info 
listed for each session in the Conference web page http://www.iccsa.org/sessions )

Paper Submission
---------------------

THEME PAPERS:
  The submitted paper must be camera-ready, between 10 and 16 pages long and formatted according to 
  the LNCS rules. Please consult the URL http://www.iccsa.org/author-instructions  for formatting 
  information and templates. 

SESSION PAPERS:
  The submitted paper must be camera-ready, between 5 and 11 pages long and formatted according to 
  the IEEE Computer Society rules. Please consult the URL http://www.iccsa.org/author-instructions 
  for formatting information and templates. 


To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the link available at the ICCSA 2010 
web site. Only papers submitted through the electronic system and strictly adhering to the relevant
format will be considered for reviewing and publication.

The paper must deal with original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere 
(copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of the authors). Each paper will be reviewed 
by at least three experts in the relevant field (acceptance rate was 28% in 2005, 26% in 2006 and 
28% in 2007, 29% in 2008, 30% in 2009) ensuring the publication of only top quality contributions.

When a paper is accepted at least one of the authors has to register to the conference and deliver 
the related talk. Failure to do so shall lead to rejection of the application to attend next year 
conference and the exclusion of the paper for the current year proceedings.
