The Australasian Computer Science Conference series is an annual forum for exploring research, development and novel applications in computer science. The 28th edition will be hosted by the University of Newcastle and its Discipline of Computer Science and Software Engineering as part of the Australasian Computer Science Week which includes:
The 28th Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC2005) will be held from Sunday 30th January (a small reception in the evening) to Thursday 3rd February, 2005.
We welcome papers describing original contributions in all fields of Computer Science research. Each paper will be judged on its originality, significance, correctness and clarity. Its contribution should be clearly explained in both general and technical terms, and authors should make every effort to ensure that its technical content is understandable by a broad audience. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will attend the conference to present the work.
All areas of Computer Science research are appropriate for ACSC2005. Areas include (but are not limited to):
The invited speaker for ACSC will be Jeffrey D. Ullman.
Jeff Ullman is the Stanford W. Ascherman Professor of Computer Science (Emeritus) at Stanford University. His interests include database theory, database integration, data mining, and education using the information infrastructure.
Parallel conferences shall announce other invited speakers.
Papers up to 10 pages in length conforming to the formatting instructions for the series Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology are invited. Formatting instructions can be found at http://crpit.com/Authors.html
To submit a paper, a web site for electronic submission will be announced shortly. Full paper will be peer -refereed (reviewed) by at least 3 referees.
By submitting to the conference authors accept that they are aware of the Guidelines on Research Practice in Computer Science by the Computer Research and Education Association (CORE - previously CSA) and available at http://www.core.edu.au/conduct.html. In particular, authors are encouraged to review the points on authorship.
At least one author must register for the conference to
ensure the publication of the contribution in the proceedings.
The proceedings of the conference will be published through the Australian Computer Society under the title Computer Science 2005 (CRPIT). At least one author must register for the conference to ensure the publication of the contribution in the proceedings. The proceedings are included in the ACM digital library.
Professor Sidney Morris, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Research and Practice in Information Technology, would like to publish suitable versions of the best, or some of the best papers presented at the Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACS2005). The program committee will forward nominations with the view to Prof. Morris asking the authors to revise them to a version suitable for JRPIT.
Submission of abstracts: August 31, 2004
