Preface

These 10 volumes (LNCS volumes 12949–12958) consist of the peer-reviewed papersfrom the 21st International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications(ICCSA 2021) which took place during September 13–16, 2021. By virtue of thevaccination campaign conducted in various countries around the world, we decided totry a hybrid conference, with some of the delegates attending in person at theUniversity of Cagliari and others attending in virtual mode, reproducing the infras-tructure established last year.

This year’s edition was a successful continuation of the ICCSA conference series,which was also held as a virtual event in 2020, and previously held in Saint Petersburg,Russia (2019), Melbourne, Australia (2018), Trieste, Italy (2017), Beijing. China(2016), Banff, Canada (2015), Guimaraes, Portugal (2014), Ho Chi Minh City, Viet-nam (2013), Salvador, Brazil (2012), Santander, Spain (2011), Fukuoka, Japan (2010),Suwon, South Korea (2009), Perugia, Italy (2008), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2007),Glasgow, UK (2006), Singapore (2005), Assisi, Italy (2004), Montreal, Canada (2003),and (as ICCS) Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2002) and San Francisco, USA (2001).

Computational science is the main pillar of most of the present research onunderstanding and solving complex problems. It plays a unique role in exploitinginnovative ICT technologies and in the development of industrial and commercialapplications. The ICCSA conference series provides a venue for researchers andindustry practitioners to discuss new ideas, to share complex problems and theirsolutions, and to shape new trends in computational science.

Apart from the six main conference tracks, ICCSA 2021 also included 52 work-shops in various areas of computational sciences, ranging from computational sciencetechnologies to specific areas of computational sciences, such as software engineering,security, machine learning and artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, andapplications in many fields. In total, we accepted 494 papers, giving an acceptance rateof 30%, of which 18 papers were short papers and 6 were published open access. Wewould like to express our appreciation for the workshop chairs and co-chairs for theirhard work and dedication.

The success of the ICCSA conference series in general, and of ICCSA 2021 inparticular, vitally depends on the support of many people: authors, presenters, partic-ipants, keynote speakers, workshop chairs, session chairs, organizing committeemembers, student volunteers, Program Committee members, advisory committeemembers, international liaison chairs, reviewers, and others in various roles. We takethis opportunity to wholehartedly thank them all.

We also wish to thank Springer for publishing the proceedings, for sponsoring someof the best paper awards, and for their kind assistance and cooperation during theediting process.

We cordially invite you to visit the ICCSA website https://iccsa.org where you canfind all the relevant information about this interesting and exciting event.

vi Preface

Welcome Message from the Organizers

COVID-19 has continued to alter our plans for organizing the ICCSA 2021 conference,so although vaccination plans are progressing worldwide, the spread of virus variantsstill forces us into a period of profound uncertainty. Only a very limited number ofparticipants were able to enjoy the beauty of Sardinia and Cagliari in particular,rediscovering the immense pleasure of meeting again, albeit safely spaced out. Thesocial events, in which we rediscovered the ancient values that abound on this won-derful island and in this city, gave us even more strength and hope for the future. Forthe management of the virtual part of the conference, we consolidated the methods,organization, and infrastructure of ICCSA 2020.

The technological infrastructure was based on open source software, with theaddition of the streaming channels on YouTube. In particular, we used Jitsi (jitsi.org)for videoconferencing, Riot (riot.im) together with Matrix (matrix.org) for chat andansynchronous communication, and Jibri (github.com/jitsi/jibri) for streaming livesessions to YouTube.

Seven Jitsi servers were set up, one for each parallel session. The participants of thesessions were helped and assisted by eight student volunteers (from the universities ofCagliari, Florence, Perugia, and Bari), who provided technical support and ensuredsmooth running of the conference proceedings.

The implementation of the software infrastructure and the technical coordinationof the volunteers were carried out by Damiano Perri and Marco Simonetti.

Our warmest thanks go to all the student volunteers, to the technical coordinators,and to the development communities of Jitsi, Jibri, Riot, and Matrix, who made theirterrific platforms available as open source software.

A big thank you goes to all of the 450 speakers, many of whom showed an enor-mous collaborative spirit, sometimes participating and presenting at almost prohibitivetimes of the day, given that the participants of this year’s conference came from 58countries scattered over many time zones of the globe.

Finally, we would like to thank Google for letting us stream all the live events viaYouTube. In addition to lightening the load of our Jitsi servers, this allowed us torecord the event and to be able to review the most exciting moments of the conference.
