IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE APPLIED COMPUTING 2012
October 19 - 21, 2012 – Madrid, Spain
(http://www.computing-conf.org/)

* Keynote Speaker (confirmed):
Prof. Ramon Lopez-Cozar Delgado, SISDIAL Research Group, Dept. of
Languages and Computer Systems, Faculty of Computer Science and
Telecommunications, University of Granada, Spain

* Conference background and goals
The IADIS Applied Computing 2012 conference aims to address the main
issues of concern within the applied computing area and related
fields. This conference covers essentially technical aspects. The
applied computing field is divided into more detailed areas (see
below). However innovative contributes that don't fit into these areas
will also be considered since they might be of benefit to conference
attendees.

* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The
proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a
book.
The best papers will be selected for publishing as extended versions
in International Journal of Ambient Computing and Intelligence (IJACI)
(ISSN: 1941-6237).
Selected best papers will be invited to extend their papers into
chapters for inclusion in the "Studies in Computational Intelligence"
series from Springer. This series is indexed by DBLP, Ulrichs, SCOPUS,
MathSciNet, Current Mathematical Publications, Mathematical Reviews,
Zentralblatt Math: MetaPress and Springerlink. The best paper authors
will also be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in
specific journals, and in the IADIS International Journal on Computer
Science and Information Systems.
The conference proceedings will be submitted for indexing to INSPEC,
EI Compendex, Thomson ISI, ISTP and other indexing services.
