Awards
 
We announce 20 awards in the amount of $500 , based on the availability of funds, (paid towards registration fee and accommodations) to support students and young researchers to participation in the conference. In addition, the three best student papers will also receive a diploma.
Student and young researcher wishing to compete for these awards should submit a two-page summary of their work, together with a two-page Vitae, to Thiab Taha at thiab@cs.uga.edu. The deadline for submissions is November 03, 2010. The Awards will be announced December 10, 2010.

 

Tutorials(Tentative)
* William Kath(USA), "Nonlinear signaling in neurons and networks of neurons"
 

 

Submissions and Proposals
 
The Scientific Program will consist of organized sessions, regular papers(30 minutes), and keynote papers(50 minutes).
Proposals to organize sessions are solicited. Session organizers are to invite authors to present papers in their sessions. Those interested in organizing a Session should send an informal proposal(even before inviting speakers in order to prevent duplications) to the Scientific Program Committee in care of Thiab R. Taha(thiab@cs.uga.edu) as soon as possible.

For Session Organizers: Please provide a short abstract for your session, together with the title, speakers' names, and titles of their papers by November 03, 2010. (Proposals for sessions submitted after this date will be considered subject to the constraints of available time in the program). A final title, complete address for each one of the speakers including their Tel. #, Fax #, and e-mail, will be needed by January 09, 2011.

Each session is in principle 3 hours long. It is organized as 6 HALF HOUR papers. (Additional papers in a session may, if there is space, accommodated as "follow up" elsewhere in the program, or as "PART II of the Session.)

Abstracts for the talks included in your session should be submitted by February 06, 2011. The abstract must be submitted using the "EasyChair" software: EasyChair. Please note that only one presentation per registered person is allowed.

 

Contributed Papers
 

Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract no more than one page in length by November 03, 2010. (Late submission may be considered if there is space available in the program). The abstract should include : title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address and when possible e-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number. Acceptance date: December 10, 2010.

 

Poster Papers
 

Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract no more than one page in length by November 03, 2010. (Late submission may be considered if there is space available in the program). The abstract should include : title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address and when possible e-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number. Acceptance date: December 10, 2010.

 

Publications
 

Contributed and poster papers will be reviewed by members of the Scientific Program Committee. Organized sessions will be approved by the Scientific Program Committee. Papers accepted in these sessions will be reviewed by the Session organizer and/or external reviewers.

 

Abstracts
 

A Book of Abstracts will be published. Abstracts should be submitted in a camera-ready form (using 12 point or larger fonts) and can ONLY be one page in length. The abstract should begin with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation, and an e-mail address, and then the text of the abstract. Use TEX or similar formatting program and leave a 1-inch margin on each side.

A representative collection of contributions from the conference will be published as regular journal articles in a Special Issue of the IMACS Journal: "Mathematics and Computers in Simulation" (published by Elsevier) .
