Call for Papers
We are pleased to announce that SISC will dedicate a special section in association with the CSE13 conference. The special section will focus on two themes – Planet Earth and Big Data – and will feature high-quality scientific-computing papers in either one or both (!) of these two areas.
The year 2013 has been designated as a special year of emphasis on the mathematics of Planet Earth, and SISC traditionally publishes papers on a wide variety of computational aspects of related research, including geosciences, atmospheric and oceanic fluid dynamics, methods for inverse problems, flow through porous media, detection and tracking of pollutants, computational astrophysics, and much more. Likewise, the year 2012 has been designated as a special year of emphasis on Mathematics, Statistics, and the Data Deluge, and there are many natural intersections of the interests of SISC and Big Data. This includes adaptation of numerical algorithms to architectures such as MapReduce, analysis and algorithms for large-scale networks, methods for efficient handling of missing data in applications (consider the Netflix prize), fast scalable algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning (such as nonnegative matrix factorization), and so on.
Deadline
The SIAM office will be accepting submissions to the special section from January 1, 2013 until April 30, 2013.
Review Process
Papers will be subject to review according to usual standards of SISC by a guest Editorial Board. The editorial policy of SISC can be found here: http://www.siam.org/journals/sisc/policy.php.
Submission
Please enter submissions directly into the SISC Journal Submission & Tracking System at http://sisc.siam.org. Note the block labeled Special Section (just under the Section block on your submission screen) and select "Planet Earth and Big Data Special Section 2013" from the dropdown box. Also be sure to note in the Manuscript Comment text box at the bottom of this page that your work is intended for the Planet Earth and Big Data Special Section 2013. Additional instructions for SISC authors are available here: http://www.siam.org/journals/sisc/authors.php.
