Preface

摘要

Computational science and technology is a rapidly growing multi- and interdisciplinary field that uses advanced computing and data analysis to understand and solve complex problems. The absolute size of many challenges in computational science and technology demands the use of supercomputing, parallel processing, sophisticated algorithms and advanced system software and architecture. The ICCST2020 conference provides a unique forum to exchange innovative research ideas, recent results, and share experiences among researchers and practitioners in the field of advanced computational science and technology. Building on the previous four conferences that include Regional Conference on Computational Science and Technology (RCSST 2007) and a series of International Conference on Computational Science and Technology (2014-2019), the Seventh International Conference on Computational Science and Technology (ICCST2020) program offers practitioners and researchers from academia and industry the possibility to share computational techniques and solutions in this area, to identify new issues, and to shape future directions for research, as well as to enable industrial users to apply leading-edge large-scale high-performance computational methods. This volume presents a theory and practice of ongoing research in computational science and technology. The focuses of this volume are on abroad range of methodological approaches and empirical references points including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, communication and data networks, computational intelligence, data mining and data warehousing, evolutionary computing, high-performance computing, information retrieval, knowledge discovery, knowledge management, machine learning, modeling and simulations, parallel and distributed computing, problem-solving environments, semantic technology, soft computing, system-on-chip design and engineering, text mining, visualization and web-based and service computing . The carefully selected contributions to this volume were initially accepted for oral presentation during the Seventh International Conference on Computational Science and Technology (ICCST20) held on 29-30 August 2020 virtually. The level of contributions corresponds to that of advanced scientific works, although several of them could be addressed also to non-expert readers. The volume brings together 47 chapters. In concluding, we would also like to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to all the program committee members, panel reviewers, organizing committees, and volunteers for your efforts to make this conference a successful event. It is worth emphasizing that much theoretical and empirical work remains to be done. It is encouraging to find that more research on computational science and technology is still required. We sincerely hope the readers will find this book interesting, useful, and informative and it will give then a valuable inspiration for original and innovative research.
