Its aims are to foster interdisciplinary computational science to achieve innovation for the solution of real world problems or for establishing hybrid scientific methods.
There is an associated and co-located workshop called "Smart Home" that addresses the pervasive and ubiquitous computing themes so prevalent today.
Proceedings are with the IEEE. Also features post proceedings with Springer Verlag. Apparently, up to seven journals have agreed to publish special issues based on extended papers from the topics at the conference by authors of proceedings.
The first deadline for papers (IEEE proceedings) is July 1st 2006. The conference also features world class keynote speakers in five different areas of hybrid science and technology: molecular biology, grid computing, space exploration, rough set theory and other AI computational intelligence approaches.
