Paper submission deadline and important dates stay the same:
April 26: deadline for paper submission to the General Tracks (individual workshops may have different dates)
May 24: Notification of Acceptance
June 15: Submission deadline for the final version of the Proceeding Paper
More information will be available in ICCSA website soon.

Information on submission of abstracts :
The authors can submit abstracts and papers to your session accessing the electronic submission site: http://ess.iccsa.org/
The user has to register before the submission.
From her/his personal page she/he will be able to submit first an abstract (phase 1), then a full paper (phase 2), selecting your session from the list of sessions in the submission forms.
The author will be able to update the paper until the submission deadline.
From this URL http://ess.iccsa.org/ you can monitor the number and the details of the submissions.
Please consider that the assignment is dynamic, and the papers will appear in your list only if the author selected your session in the last submission she/he made.
Session EXO3
From Protoplanetary Disks to Small Bodies, Planets and their Atmospheres
Since the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1995 more than 4000 exoplanets have been detected to date. This indicates that planet formation is a robust mechanism and nearly every star in our Galaxy should host a system of planets.
However, many crucial questions about the origin of planets are still unanswered: How and when planets formed in the Solar System and in extra-solar systems? Are protoplanetary disks massive enough to form the planets cores? And what chemical composition do planets and primitive Solar System bodies inherit from their natal environment? Is the chemical composition passed unaltered from the earliest stages of the formation of a star to its disk and then to the bodies which assemble in the disk? Or does it reflects chemical processes occurring in the disk and/or during the planet formation process?
A viable way to answer these questions is to study the planets formation site, i.e. protoplanetary disks. In the recent years, the advent of ALMA and near-infrared/optical imagers aided by extreme adaptive optics revolutionised our comprehension of planet formation by providing unprecedented insights on the protoplanetary disks structure, both in its gaseous and solid components.
The aim of this session is to review the latest results on protoplanetary disks; to foster a comparison with the recent outcomes of small bodies space missions (e.g. Rosetta, Dawn, Hayabusa 2, OSIRIS-REX) and ground-based observations; and to discuss how these will affect the current models of planet formation and can guide us to investigate the origin of planets and small bodies and of their chemical composition.

Machine-learning meets Chemistry
17-18th of February 2020 - Chemistry Department, University of Torino
The Chemistry Department of the University of Torino organizes the Colloquium: “Machine Learning meets chemistry”, to be held on the 17-18th of February 2020 at the Chemistry Department.
The consensus on the applicability of Machine Learning (ML) techniques within the chemistry community has been so rapid that it is urgent for the chemists (teachers, researchers and students) to grasp, at least, the basic foundations and applications of ML in diverse fields of chemistry. To fulfill that objective, the invited speakers will deliver talks for a general non-expert audience with the purpose to stimulate possible involvement/collaboration in the ML field.
The “ML meets chemistry” workshop belongs to the PhD Programme in Chemical and Materials Sciences of the Doctoral School of the University of Torino.
Attending this event is completely free, but registration is mandatory to facilitate the organization of the event.
We invite you to join the Colloquium at this link. Please register as soon as possible.
