eScience 2015 - Call for Papers 1.1.2

Exploring the Digital Revolution in Research http://escience.mnm-­‐team.org/ escience@mnm-­‐team.org CALL FOR PAPERS 11th IEEE International Conference on eScience Munich, Germany, August 31 -­‐ September 04, 2015 The ways scientific research is conducted and its results are taken up are undergoing radical changes as a result of the digital revolution. Researchers in all disciplines are increasingly adopting digital tools, techniques and practices in communities and projects that span multiple disciplines, laboratories, organizations, and national boundaries. The eScience 2015 conference is designed to bring together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The conference aims to serve as a forum to present recent research advances in eScience and highlight associated activities worldwide, providing an outlook of challenges and opportunities we will face in the future. eScience 2015 will follow the previous eScience conferences in encouraging submissions that explore advances in the application of technology in particular disciplines, covering both data-­‐oriented and compute-­‐oriented approaches, as well as extreme scale approaches and applications. Major topics include, but are not limited to •
