TOPICS OF INTEREST
The First International Conference on Advanced Computational Applications of Geometric Algebra (ICACGA) seeks submissions that successfully bridge sound mathematical descriptions with practical computational applications that reflect and address the current interests and needs of industry. ICACGA invites original and unpublished contributions of Geometric Algebra (as well as Clifford algebra, quaternions, and octonions) applied in areas including (but not limited to):

Image and Signal Processing
Edge Computing
Heterogeneous systems
Data encoding, storage, and transmission
Network and graph computing
Computer graphics
Data visualization
Geometric Deep Learning
Cryptography
Security and privacy
Data compression

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
CONFERENCE PAPERS
All submissions must be received by 11:59 PM anywhere on Earth (UTC -12) on the day of the announced deadline. Candidate papers must be original, unpublished, and cannot be simultaneously in submission process with any other venue with proceedings.

Submissions must be anonymous. If a submission is not properly anonymized, it will be automatically rejected without review. To ensure that all papers are properly anonymized, please refer to the following:

No author names or affiliations should be included in the title page.
Figures and appendices should be thoroughly reviewed by authors to ensure that affiliations are not mistakenly included.
Refer to previous work in the third person. Blinding references is acceptable if a third-person reference is not feasible.
Papers should not exceed 12 pages, including bibliography and appendices. Authors must apply Springer conference paper templates, which can be found in the author’s instruction page: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

All other information relevant to both volume editors and contributing authors regarding our LNCS series print and electronic publication process can be found at: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs

Registered conference participants will receive temporary free access to the online version of the conference proceedings on SpringerLink (https://link.springer.com) by means of an individual token.

FULL AACA PAPERS
Post-conference extended and more advanced ICACGA 2022 papers can be submitted to a topical collection (TC) of the journal Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras (AACA), published by Birkhauser, and should have been orally presented at the conference. See the “Instruction for Authors” at AACA. Standard quality and review requirements of AACA will be observed.

To have their submissions qualified as extended papers, authors must provide new results and discussions not present in the conference paper, including proofs of theorems/propositions or additional algorithms and/or analysis of algorithms not given previously. The extended portion of the AACA submission must correspond to at least 30% of the conference paper with a recommended length of ~18-20+ pages.

Online paper submission deadline will be announced soon. At the time of submission, authors must indicate the topical collection “TC ICACGA 2022”.

CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS
Authors are asked during the submission process to identify all members of the Scientific Committee who have an automatic conflict of interest (COI) with the submission. A reviewer and an author have an automatic COI if:

one was the thesis advisor/supervisor of the other
they have shared an institutional affiliation within the last two years
they have published two or more joint authored works within the last three years
they are relatives
It is the responsibility of all authors to report any pertinent COI information. Submissions with incorrect or incomplete COI reporting may be rejected without consideration.
