Introduction

Frontier of computer science and technology is intended to facilitate
effective communication and exchanges all of the world. It will hot
only reflect the significant advances that are currently being made
in computer science but also will represent a powerful and unique
forum for discussing innovative, cutting-edge advances in high
performance computing, networking, storage and analysis from stakeholders
in academia, government and corporate institutions around the globe.

The 6th International Conference on Frontier of Computer Science and
Technology (FCST-11) will be held in Changsha, China in November 16-18,
2011. It derives from the Japan-China Joint Workshop on Frontier of
Computer Science and Technology, and follows the success of FCST 2010
in Changchun, China, FCST 2009 in Shanghai, China, FCST 2008 in Nagasaki,
Japan, FCST 2007 in Wuhan, China and FCST 2006 in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan.
The conference aims to bring together computer scientists, applied
mathematicians, engineers in a range of disciplines and researchers to
present, discuss and exchange ideas, results, work in progress and
experiences in the area advanced computing for problems in science and
engineering applications and inter-disciplinary applications.

Scope and Interests

FCST-11 is an international forum for presenting and discussing emerging
ideas and trends in the frontier of computer science and technology from
both the research community as well as the industry. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

(1) Parallel and Distributed Computing
(2) Pervasive, Grid, P2P and Cloud Computing
(3) Embedded Computing and Systems
(4) Database and Data Management
(5) Bio-informatics

Submission and Publication Information

The accepted papers from this conference will be published by IEEE
Computer Society in IEEE proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP).
Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard
conference format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column). Papers should be submitted
through the paper submission system at the conference website. Manuscripts
should be submitted through the paper submission system at the conference
website. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 12 pages with the over length
charge). Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published
in two special issues to be indexed by SCI and EI. The program committee
will select two winners for the Best Paper Awards for this conference.
Submitting a paper to the conference means that, if the paper is accepted,
at least one author should attend the conference and present the paper.
For no-show authors, their papers will be removed from the IEEE Computer
Society digital library after the conference and their affiliations will
be notified.

Call for Workshop Proposals

The 6th International Conference on Frontier of Computer Science and Technology
(FCST-11), Changsha, China, November 16-18, 2011.
URL: http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/FCST2011/

The FCST-11 organizing committee invite proposals for workshops
to be held at the conference. Prospective workshop organizers are
invited to submit workshop proposals on foundational and emerging
topics in areas relevant to frontier of computer science and technology.
The workshops will provide an opportunity for researchers and industry
practitioners to share their research results and practical development
experiences on specific challenging and emerging issues.

A workshop proposal should include a proper title, an overview,
workshop scope, information about the program, organizers of the
workshop, a tentative list of members of the program committee,
history of the workshop (if held previously by the same team), and
short bios of all organizers. Workshops will be either a full day
or a half day format. Workshop proposals should be submitted to
the workshop co-chairs: Dr. Ching-Hsien (Robert) Hsu, Chung Hua University,
Taiwan (robertchh at gmail.com), Dr. Jong Hyuk Park, Seoul National University
of Technology, Korea (parkjonghyuk1 at hotmail.com), and Dr. Weisong Shi,
Wayne State University, USA (weisong at wayne.edu), with the subject
"FCST-11 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL".

The organizers of approved workshops are required to announce the
workshop and call for papers, form a program committee to review
papers and decide upon the final program. The conference will provide
workshop facilities including author registration, meeting room
arrangement, coffee break, lunch, etc. Papers accepted for FCST-11
