Subject: CFP ACSC05
28th Australasian Computer Science Conference-2005
The University of Newcastle,
Newcastle, NSW, Australia
January 31–February 3, 2005
(first call for papers)
The Australasian Computer Science Conference series is an annual forum
for exploring research, development and novel applications in computer
science. The 28th edition will be hosted by the University of Newcastle
and its Discipline of Computer Science and Software Engineering as part
of the Australasian Computer Science Week which includes:
* 28th Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC2005)
* 10th Asia-Pacific Computer System Architecture Conference (ACSAC2005)
* 7th Australasian Computing Education conference (ACE2005)
* 16th Australasian Database Conference (ADC2005)
* The Australasian Information Security Conference (AISC2005)
* 6th Australasian User Interface Conference (AUIC2005)
* Computing: The Australasian Theory Symposium (CATS2005)
* First Asia-Pacific Conference on Conceptual Modeling (APCCM2005)
The 28th Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC2005) will be held
from Sunday 30th January (a small reception in the evening) to Thursday
3rd February, 2005.
We welcome papers describing original contributions in all fields of
Computer Science research. Each paper will be judged on its originality,
significance, correctness and clarity. Its contribution should be clearly
explained in both general and technical terms, and authors should make every
effort to ensure that its technical content is understandable by a broad
audience. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that,
should the paper be accepted, at least one author will attend the conference
to present the work.
All areas of Computer Science research are appropriate for ACSC2005.
Areas include (but are not limited to):
* Algorithms
* Artificial Intelligence
* Communications and Networks
* Compilers
* Computer Architecture
* Computer Vision
* Computational Geometry
* Concurrency
* Databases
* Data Structures
* Distributed Systems
* E-Commerce
* Education
* Embedded Systems
* Fault Tolerance
* Formal Methods
* Functional Programming
* Graphics
* High Performance Computing
* Human-Computer Interaction

Invited speaker
The invited speaker for ACSC will be Jeffrey D. Ullman.
Jeff Ullman is the Stanford W. Ascherman Professor of Computer Science
(Emeritus) at Stanford University. His interests include database theory,
database integration, data mining, and education using the information
infrastructure.
Parallel conferences shall announce other invited speakers.
Submissions and Proceedings
Papers up to 10 pages in length conforming to the formatting instructions
for the series Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology
are invited. Formatting instructions can be found at
http://crpit.com/Authors.html To submit a paper, a web site for electronic
submission will be announced shortly. Full paper will be
peer -refereed (reviewed) by at least 3 referees.
By submitting to the conference authors accept that they are aware of the
Guidelines on Research Practice in Computer Science by the Computer Research
and Education Association (CORE — previously CSA) and available at
http://www.core.edu.au/conduct.html. In particular, authors are encouraged
to review the points on authorship.
At least one author must register for the conference to ensure the publication
of the contribution in the proceedings.
The proceedings of the conference will be published through the Australian
Computer Society under the title Computer Science 2005 (CRPIT). At least
one author must register for the conference to ensure the publication of the
contribution in the proceedings. The proceedings are included in the ACM
digital library.
Professor Sidney Morris, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Research and
Practice in Information Technology, would like to publish suitable versions
of the best, or some of the best papers presented at the Australasian Computer
Science Conference (ACS2005). The program committee will forward nominations
with the view to Prof. Morris asking the authors to revise them to a version
suitable for JRPIT.
