19th IEEE eScience Conference (eScience 2023): Second Call for Papers
February 14th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise |
19th IEEE eScience Conference (eScience 2023)
October 9-13, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus
eScience 2023 provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. Its objective is to promote and encourage all aspects of eScience and its associated technologies, applications, algorithms, and tools,
with a strong focus on practical solutions and open challenges. The conference welcomes conceptualization, implementation, and experience contributions enabling and driving innovation in data- and compute-intensive research across all disciplines, from the physical and biological sciences to the social sciences, arts, and humanities; encompassing artificial intelligence and machine learning methods; and targeting a broad spectrum of architectures, including HPC, Cloud, and IoT.
The overarching theme of the eScience 2023 conference is “open eScience”. This year, the conference is promoting four additional key topics:
• Computational Science for sustainable development
• FAIR
• Research Infrastructures for eScience
• Continuum Computing: Convergence between Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things (IoT)
The conference is soliciting two types of contributions:
• Full papers (10 pages) presenting previously unpublished research achievements or eScience experiences and solutions
• Posters (2 pages) showcasing early-stage results and innovations
Submitted papers should use the IEEE 8.5×11 manuscript guidelines: double-column text using single-spaced 10-point font on 8.5×11-inch pages. Templates are available from http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html .
Submissions should be made via the Easy Chair system using the submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=escience2023 .
All submissions will be single-blind peer reviewed. Selected full papers will receive a slot for an oral presentation. Accepted posters will be presented during a poster reception. Accepted full papers and poster papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Rejected full papers can be re-submitted for a poster presentation. At least one author of each accepted
paper or poster must register as an author at the full registration rate. Each author registration can be applied to only one accepted submission.
AWARDS
eScience 2023 will host the following awards, which will be announced at the conference.
• Best Paper Award
• Best Student Paper Award
• Best Poster Award
• Best Student Poster Award
• Outstanding Early Career Contribution – this award is associated with poster submissions and short presentations of attendees in their early career phase (i.e., postdoctoral researchers and junior scientists).

Summary Workshop
===============
The workshop aims to provide the participants with the knowledge and experience of researchers who have struggled to find, customize, or design a robotic simulator for their own purposes or specific application. The focus is on aerial vehicles, especially multi-rotor aircraft, where we expect simulation solutions to be of continued importance for both research and industrial applications. Simulating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is a specialized task, because of aerodynamic interactions (with the environment or other robots), the fast operating speed compared to other robots (e.g., mobile, legged), and the potentially large number of interacting robots in three dimensions (e.g., swarms of delivery drones).
