The International Conference Series on Computational Science and Education (ICCSE) aims to bring together researchers and educators from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to discuss current issues and future directions. The conference is also an opportunity for vendors to showcase their latest products for academic, industrial, and educational use. Supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the SUNY Research Foundation, the theme of 2006 ICCSE conference is to discuss how to engage people in cyberinfrastructure (EPIC) and share experiences in computational math, science, and technology (CMST) at higher education and secondary school levels. It will promote partnerships among researchers, educators, and faculty all the way from middle school to community colleges and universities.

The conference will devote 2 days to research and 2 days to education. Invited speakers, panels, and multiple workshops will be featured throughout the conference. Proposals for mini-workshops and panel discussions are welcome. Posters will be accepted. Conference topics include, but not limited to, computational aspects in science, humanities, and/or business. Technical papers are solicited in all aspects of science, humanities, and business, particularly those showcasing impact of computational technology on research, industrial design, and education. Selected papers will be published in special issues of research and educational journals.
