The 30th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
17-23 April 2015, Salamanca, Spain
The ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2015 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and will be hosted by University of Salamanca.
PAPERS
Authors are invited to submit original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development for the technical program via the various tracks hosted by SAC 2015. Submissions fall into the following categories:
- Original and unpublished research work
- Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business areas
- Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains
- Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems
Peer groups with expertise in the track focus area will blindly review submissions to that track.
SAC has grown to be a large and very competitive conference. For instance, in the past 4 years the MMV track had an acceptance rate smaller than 30%, as the other tracks in the symposium.
Accepted papers will be made available in the ACM digital library: authors are invited to check the papers presented at previous editions of the ACM SAC symposium at http://portal.acm.org/event.cfm?id=RE133
STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION The Student Research Competition (SRC) program, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is a newly added program to the ACM SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC). The SAC 2014 SRC program provides graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researchers and practitioners in their areas of interest. Active graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are invited to submit abstracts of their original unpublished and in-progress research work in areas of experimental computing and application development related to SAC 2015 Tracks. Please visist SAC 2015 website.
TUTORIALS
The Tutorials Program is an integral part of SAC 2015. The organizing committee solicits tutorials that tend to stress state-of-the-art technologies directly applied to the practitioners' field. Presenters are invited to submit proposals for tutorials in all areas of experimental computing and application development. Tutorial’s duration is either full-day or half-day. The tutorial proposal should include a brief summary and outline, specific goals and objectives, expected background of the audience, and a biographical sketch of the presenter(s). All tutorial proposals should be directed to the Tutorial Chair. Tutorial submission guidelines can be found on SAC 2015 Website.
