The 5th FTRA International Conference on Computer Science and its Applications (CSA-13) will be held in Danang, Vietnam, Dec. 18 - 20, 2013.
CSA-13 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on the various aspects of advances in computer science and its applications. CSA-13 will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of CSA.
In addition, the conference will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in CSA. Furthermore, we expect that the conference and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject.
CSA-13 is the next event in a series of highly successful International Conference on Computer Science and its Applications, previously held as CSA-12 (4th Edition: Jeju, November, 2012), 1CSA-11 (3rd Edition: Jeju, December, 2011), CSA-09 (2nd Edition: Jeju, December, 2009), and CSA-08 (1st Edition: Australia, October, 2008).

Instructions for papers in the Springer's LNEE（Note that the paper format of LNEE is the same as that of LNCS）
- Prepare your paper in the exact format as the sample paper for LNEE. Failure to do so may result in the exclusion of your paper from the proceedings. Please read the authors' instructions carefully before preparing your papers.
- Springer accepts both Microsoft Word and LaTex format in the Lecture Note Series. However, FTRA does not accept the use of LaTex. Therefore, you should use the Microsoft Word instead of using LaTex (The paper will be excluded from the proceeding if you use LaTex). Springer provides the relevant templates and sample files for both PC (sv-lncs.dot) and Mac (sv-lncs) environments.
- Please download word.zip (http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/word.zip?SGWID=0-0-45-72919-0). If you need more help on preparing your papers, please visit Springer's LNCS web page (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-2-72376-0).
