The ICCSA 2024 conference will be organized in Hanoi, Vietnam on July 1-4, 2024 in collaboration with Thuyloi University. Virtual registration will be available 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.

ICCSA 2024 will be the next event in a series of highly successful International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA), previously held in a blended form in Athens - Greece (2023), Malaga - Spain (2022), in Cagliari - Italy (2021), online (2020, as an online-only event due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions). Then, before COVID, in Saint Petersburg - Russia (2019), Melbourne - Australia (2018), Trieste - Italy (2017), Beijing - China (2016), Banff - Canada (2015), Guimaraes - Portugal (2014), Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam (2013), Salvador da Bahia - Brazil (2012), Santander - Spain (2011), Fukuoka - Japan (2010), Suwon - Korea (2009), Perugia - Italy (2008), Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia (2007), Glasgow - United Kingdom (2006), Singapore - Singapore(2005), Assisi - Italy (2004), Montreal - Canada (2003), and, as ICCS, in Amsterdam - The Netherlands (2002) and San Francisco - USA (2001).

Computational Science is a central pillar of most of the present research, industrial and commercial activities and plays a unique role in exploiting innovative ICT technologies.

The ICCSA Conference offers an opportunity to bring together scientists of different disciplines, discuss new issues, tackle complex problems and find advanced solutions breeding new trends in Computational Science.

**Paper Submission** To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the link available at the ICCSA 2024 website: https://ess.iccsa.org. Only papers submitted through the electronic system and strictly adhering to the relevant format will be considered for reviewing and publication. The paper can belong to one of the following categories: Full Papers, Short Papers, and PHD Showcase Papers, and can refer either to the General Tracks or to one of the 70 workshop: FULL PAPERS Reporting an innovative and consolidated research work. The submitted paper must be between 12 and 18 pages long. SHORT PAPERS Reporting preliminary results of ongoing research. The submitted paper must be between 8 and 11 pages long.

PHD SHOWCASE PAPERS Reporting ongoing research already achieving significant results and primarily carried out by PhD students and junior researchers. The submitted paper must be between 10 to 18 pages long.

Each paper must deal with original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under the 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 2021, 2011, 2012, and 30% in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023) according to the Single Blind review method, ensuring the publication of only top quality contributions.

When a paper is accepted, at least one of the authors has to register for the conference and deliver the related talk. Failure to do so shall lead to the rejection of the application to attend next year's conference and the exclusion of the paper from the current year's proceedings.
