[Infovis] Extended deadline (28th Jan) for call for chapter proposals for CSE Handbook

[Jo Leng]

The *Chapter Proposal Submission Deadline* is *extended* to the *28th of 
January 2010*.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your proposals for the 
contribution of chapters to the *“Handbook of Research on Computational 
Science and Engineering: Theory and Practice”*. This is a short call 
suggesting some possible topics. You are, however, not limited to these 
topics. Please feel free to propose any topics that you think are 
critical issues in the theme. A full call is at 
http://www.cse-book.com/call/index.html

Please forward this call to colleagues and those with an interest in CSE.

*--------------- RECOMMENDED TOPICS:*

Contributions are invited from experts in CSE who have specialist 
knowledge of numerical methods, hpc, visualization, developing/using 
domain specific applications, project management, policy making, 
security, education and the sociological issues to do with its adoption, 
organisation, collaboration, and cross-disciplinary nature.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

-- *Hardware trends:* trends in computer architecture, trends in chip 
architecture, chip architecture and the suitability for particular 
problem types, IO trends and the affect on the IO bottleneck, 
optimisation of architecture for particular problem types

-- *Numerical methods:* the use and development of numerical methods for 
particular applications, optimisation for interactivity (levels of 
detail), evaluation of numerically based software, porting numerical 
software

-- *Programming paradigms:* new languages, changing demands for languages

-- *Visualization:* review the state of the art of well known 
application areas, new applications to visualization, design and 
development, user assessment, collaborative environments, computational 
steering, visualization in interactive physics (simulation as a part of 
virtual reality and games)

-- *Software development tools and practices:* review of the tools 
available for parallel code development and optimisation (challenges and 
open-source options) , review of CASE tools for serial code development 
(challenges and open-source options), “best practice,” the importance of 
standards and accreditation

-- *Case studies:* state of the art applications, new applications to 
CSE, moving from serial to parallel, evaluation including comparing real 
results to computational results, computation in design, prototype 
engineering, the use of visualization, the use of collaborative working 
environments, eScience (CSE delivered through the GRID and/or Web)

-- *Organisational and sociological issues: *communicating science to 
the public, security (both computer and socially), multi-disciplinary 
and/or international practices in collaborative code development , 
multi-disciplinary and/or international issues in the evaluation of 
results and allocation of success to each party, exploration of the 
sociological factors affecting multi-disciplinary collaboration, 
technology transfer of the CSE method, technology transfer of 
computational (numerical) methods across disciplines that use CSE, 
technology transfer of visualization across disciplines that use CSE, 
opportunities for training and skill development

*--------------- SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: *

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before 
*January 28, 2010,* a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the 
mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Details on how to submit 
are given at *http://www.cse-book.com/submission/index.html*. Authors of 
accepted proposals will be notified by *February 7, 2010* and sent 
chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by 
*August 15, 2010*. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a 
double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve 
as reviewers for this project.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
