C3S2E 2016[*] is the ninth in a series of annual international conferences addressing the needs of the academic community in computing science and software engineering. The objective of C3S2E is to meet annually to exchange ideas on current issues and focus on new challenges from both the theoretical and application aspects of CSE. C3S2E encourages the participation of practitioners from governmental and non-governmental agencies, industry, and academia not only from CSE but also from other disciplines with the potential of collaboration. The meeting offers participants a chance to broaden their insight into the multi-facets of CSE and emerging technologies while exploring R&D ideas in other disciplines as well, where CSE can make meaningful contributions.

 

Call for Papers

Please see: Call for papers

 

Track (Targeted Session) Papers

As in the past, C3S2E2016 includes tracks (Targeted Session) on current topics of interest to the community. For this year's event the following tracks have been scheduled. Please click on the name of the track to access the full description of the respective track.







If you submit a paper to one of these tracks, please choose the appropriate track during the submission process on ConfSys. The default is the main event(General Track).

 

Graduate Student Posters

We plan to include a session for graduate student posters: Please see: Call for Posters

 

Doctoral Candidate Panel

We plan to have a panel for doctoral candidates to allow them to present their on going research work and meet other students and researchers, and obtain feedback on future research directions. Please see: Doctoral Candidate Panel

 

Invited Talk

 

Invited speaker: Prof. Inês Dutra (Faculty of Science, University of Porto)

 

Title: Classification: Algorithms, Validation, and Applications

 

Abstract: With the ever increasing amount of data being generated in various domains, it has become urgent to use automatic tools that can process and analyse this data in order to find useful information and uncover new knowledge. One of the specific tasks of these automatic tools is to take labeled data and produce models that can be later used to predict labels of new unseen data. In this talk, we will cover some of the algorithms used to perform prediction, more specifically, classification, i.e., prediction of discrete, non-numerical labels. We will discuss the differences among the various algorithms, will talk about validation of the generated models and show how these models can be applied to support or improve classification tasks in the domains of breast cancer, cardiac pathologies, and bipolar disorder.
