We are pleased to invite you to submit your proposals for the contribution of chapters to the “Handbook of Research on Computational Science and Engineering: Theory and Practice”. This is a short call suggesting some possible topics. You are, however, not limited to these topics. Please feel free to propose any topics that you think are critical issues in the theme. A full call is at http://www.cse-book.com/call/index.html
--------------- RECOMMENDED TOPICS:
Contributions are invited from experts in CSE who have specialist knowledge of numerical methods, hpc, visualization, developing/using domain specific applications, project management, policy making, security, education and the sociological issues to do with its adoption, organisation, collaboration, and cross-disciplinary nature.
Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
-- Hardware trends: trends in computer architecture, trends in chip architecture, chip architecture and the suitability for particular problem types, IO trends and the affect on the IO bottleneck, optimisation of architecture for particular problem types
-- Numerical methods: the use and development of numerical methods for particular applications, optimisation for interactivity (levels of detail), evaluation of numerically based software, porting numerical software
-- Programming paradigms: new languages, changing demands for languages
-- Visualization: review the state of the art of well known application areas, new applications to visualization, design and development, user assessment, collaborative environments, computational steering, visualization in interactive physics (simulation as a part of virtual reality and games)
-- Software development tools and practices: review of the tools available for parallel code development and optimisation (challenges and open-source options) , review of CASE tools for serial code development (challenges and open-source options), “best practice,” the importance of standards and accreditation
-- Case studies: state of the art applications, new applications to CSE, moving from serial to parallel, evaluation including comparing real results to computational results, computation in design, prototype engineering, the use of visualization, the use of collaborative working environments, eScience (CSE delivered through the GRID and/or Web)
-- Organisational and sociological issues: security (both computer and socially), multi-disciplinary and/or international practices in collaborative code development , multi-disciplinary and/or international issues in the evaluation of results and allocation of success to each party, exploration of the sociological factors affecting multi-disciplinary collaboration, technology transfer of the CSE method, technology transfer of computational (numerical) methods across disciplines that use CSE, technology transfer of visualization across disciplines that use CSE, opportunities for training and skill development
The book is directed at both the academic and non-academic audience including researchers, users, organisations, policy initiators, students and practitioners in the field, meaning that chapters should address advanced issues, but should attempt to do this in a manner accessible to non-specialists.
--------------- SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before January 7, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Submissions will be received through the web site http://www.cse-book.com/ . Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by February 7, 2010 and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by August 15, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
