The ICCSA 2023 conference will be organized in Athens, Greece, in collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens and University of the Aegean. Like last two year, online-only participation (with reduces registration fees) is still possible but in the spirit of facilitating researchers suffering from very critical economic and political situations. Besides online sessions, there will be pure on-site sessions with presential participation. and in-presence participation. 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. Submitted papers will be subject to stringent peer review by at least three experts and carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Accepted papers will appear in the Conference proceedings to be published by Springer in Lecture Notes for Computer Science. The authors of a selected number of top-quality papers will be requested to extend their papers for further review and publication as special issues in highly recognized international journals. ICCSA 2023 accepts paper submission in the following categories: main Conference theme papers and Workshop papers, Short papers and PhD Showcase papers.

The submission may fall into the following categories: Main Tracks and Workshops' Full Papers, Short Papers, and PHD Showcase Papers. MAIN TRACKS AND WORKSHOPS' FULL PAPERS The submitted full paper must be between 12 to 18 pages long.Full papers will be presented during the conference and will be published by Springer LNCS. MAIN TRACKS AND WORKSHOPS' SHORT PAPERS Reporting preliminary results of ongoing research. The submitted paper must be between 8 and 11 pages formatted according to LNCS rules. The Short Papers will be presented during the conference and will be published by LNCS. PHD SHOWCASE PAPERS Reporting ongoing research already achieving significant results and primarily carried out by Ph.D. students and junior researchers. The submitted paper must be between 10 to 18 pages long formatted according to LNCS rules. The PHD Showcase Papers will be presented during the conference and will be published by LNCS. Each 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, 29% in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 30% in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022) 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 present the paper in the related Session (the program of Sessions will be made available before the Conference starts). 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.
