The four-volume set LNCS 7333-7336 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th
International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications ICCSA 2012 held in
Salvador de Bahia Brazil in June 2012. The four volumes contain papers presented in the
following workshops: 7333 - advances in high performance algorithms and applications (AHPAA)
bioinspired computing and applications (BIOCA) computational geometry and applicatons (CGA)
chemistry and materials sciences and technologies (CMST) cities technologies and planning
(CTP) 7334 - econometrics and multidimensional evaluation in the urban environment (EMEUE)
geographical analysis urban modeling spatial statistics (Geo-An-Mod) 7335 - optimization
techniques and applications (OTA) mobile communications (MC) mobile-computing sensind and
actuation for cyber physical systems (MSA4CPS) remote sensing (RS) 7336 - software
engineering processes and applications (SEPA) software quality (SQ) security and privacy in
computational sciences (SPCS) soft computing and data engineering (SCDE). The topics of the
fully refereed papers are structured according to the four major conference themes: 7333 -
computational methods algorithms and scientific application 7334 - geometric modelling
graphics and visualization 7335 - information systems and technologies 7336 - high
performance computing and networks.
