The 4th International Conference on Computational Methods (ICCM2012) will be held in Gold Coast, Australia from 25 to 27 November 2012. Gold Coast is a beautiful coastal city of Australia located in South East Queensland, close to the state capital Brisbane. Gold Coast is well known as a major international tourist destination with its sunny subtropical climate, beautiful beaches, canal and waterway systems, its high-rise skyline, nightlife, and rainforest hinterland (http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/t_standard.aspx?pid=1).

The ICCM is an international conference providing an international forum for exchange ideas on recent advances in areas related to computational methods, numerical modelling & simulation, as well as their applications in engineering and science. It will accommodate presentations on a wide range of topics to facilitate inter-disciplinary exchange of ideas in science, engineering and related disciplines, and foster various types of academic collaborations. All papers accepted for publication in the proceedings will be subject to a full peer review. A large number of papers will be selected and invited to be developed into a full journal paper for publication in special issues of the journals.

The conference series were originated in Singapore in 2004 by Professor GR Liu, followed by ICCM2007 in Hinoshima, Japan, and ICCM2010 in Zhanjiajie, China. We are looking forward to seeing you all in ICCM2012 in Gold Coast, Australia.
