Venue & Dates: Changsha, China, November 16-18, 2011

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, Bio-inspired Computing and Bio-inspired Networking
(6) Network and Internet Computing
(7) Computer Vision and Image Processing
(8) Wireless Sensor Networks and Mobile Computing
(9) Reliability, Fault Tolerance and Distributed Transaction Processing
(10) Security and Trustworthy Computing

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. 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:
(1) Elsevier's Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS); (2) IEICE's
Transactions on Information and Systems, both 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.
