********************************************* Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. ********************************************* Dear Colleague, This is an invitation to submit a contribution for the: Computational and Applied Statistics (CAS 2020) https://cas2020.webnode.com/ Workshop of the 20th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2020, http://www.iccsa.org/) will be held on July 1 - 4, 2020 in Cagliari, Italy. TOPICS ====== The aim of CAS workshop is to bring together scientists working in computational statistics, scientific computation and applications in all areas of sciences, engineering, industry, economics, life sciences and social sciences. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Computational Statistics: new issues in the design of computational algorithms for implementing statistical methods, development in R, etc * Applications: statistical case study in all areas of sciences, engineering and industry, including economics, medicine, biology, earth sciences and social sciences. IMPORTANT DATES ================ February 29, 2020: Deadline for abstract and paper submission to the CAS Workshop. April 15, 2020: Notification of Acceptance. May 8, 2020: Early-bird Registration ends. May 8, 2020: Submission deadline for the final version of the Proceeding Papers. July 1-4, 2020: ICCSA 2020 Conference. PROCEEDINGS ============ The proceedings of the CAS 2020 Workshop will appear in the Springer-Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The paper must be camera-ready, between 10 and 16 pages long and formatted according to the LNCS rules SUBMISSION DETAILS ================== All accepted papers will be included in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs ) series and indexed by Scopus, EI Engineering Index, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (included in ISI Web of Science), and several other indexing services. The papers will contain linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers. 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.
