Introduction
----------
The 2008 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2008) will be held from 30 June - 3 July 2008 at Perugia University, Perugia (Italy) in the Umbria region, the "green heart of Italy", a country rich in traditions, culture, arts, hospitality and natural beauties.
ICCSA 2008 is the next event in the series of highly successful International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications, previously held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2007), Glasgow, UK (2006), Singapore (2005), Assisi, Italy (2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and as ICCS, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2002) and in San Francisco, USA (2001).
Computational Science is a main pillar of most of the present research, industrial and commercial activities and plays a unique role in exploiting ICT innovative technologies. The ICCSA Conference offers a real opportunity to bring together scientist of different disciplines, discuss new issues, to tackle complex problems and find advanced solutions able to shape new trends in Computational Science.
For this reason we cordially invite you to submit a:
* paper of 10 to 16 pages - Theme Papers - Accepted contributions will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes.
* paper of 5 to 11 pages - Session Papers - Accepted contributions will be published in the IEEE Computer Society proceedings.
* proposal to organize a technical session, a Workshop or a Tutorial with either Theme (publisheds by LNCS) or Session (published by IEEE-CS) papers. Please note that ALL papers of the same workshop will appear in the same proceedings (either LNCS or IEEE-CS),
in one of the major Conference Themes listed below.

Paper Submission
--------------
THEME PAPERS:
The submitted paper must be camera-ready, between 10 and 16 pages long and formatted according to the LNCS rules. Please consult the URL
http://www.iccsa.org/author-instructions for formatting information and templates.
SESSION PAPERS:
The submitted paper must be camera-ready, between 5 and 11 pages long and formatted according to the rules of IEEE Computer Society. Please consult the URL
http://www.iccsa.org/author-instructions for formatting information and templates.
To submit a paper, please refer to instructions available on the ICCSA 2008 web site. Only papers submitted through the electronic submission and strictly adhering to the relevant format will be considered for reviewing and publication.
The paper must present an original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of the authors). Each paper will be reviewed by at least three experts in the relevant field (acceptance rate was 28% in 2005, 26% in 2006 and 28% in 2007) ensuring the acceptance only to top quality contributions.
When a paper is accepted at least one of the authors has to register to the conference and deliver the related talk. Failure to do so shall lead to rejection of the application to attend next year conference and the exclusion of the paper for the current year proceedings.
Workshop and Technical Session organization
------------------------------------
Proposals for Workshop or Technical Session organization must be sent to the e-mail address:
prop_sess@iccsa.org
and should include the following information:
* title
* name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address of the proposer(s)
* previous experience of the proposer in organizing the proposed activity
* name, affiliation, and e-mail addresses of at least three colleagues of the proposer(s) who can comment on his (their) ability to organize the proposed activity
* description of the topic of the proposed activity (not exceeding 100 words)
* detailed list (name, role and organization) of the Program Committee members and of the additional reviewers (if external to the program committee)
* a short description on how the proposed activity will be advertised
Technical sessions are collections of 5 oral contributions having a homogeneous subject. Workshops are a collection of technical sessions having strictly related subject. Workshops have a length not shorter than two technical sessions and no longer than 11 technical sessions.
The workshop and technical session Chairs (Session Chairs) are responsible for all the organizational aspects including soliciting, reviewing and selection of Session papers. Session chairs are also fully responsible for ensuring that only high quality papers are selected and for deciding their type (short, full or both). They are also requested to notify the Conference Chairs the name of the reviewers (for insertion in the electronic review system) and for choosing the actual reviewers (at least three) of each paper.
Session Chairs (or their Deputies) set also the order of presentation of oral contributions and chair related sessions.
The information provided to the Conference Chairs shall remain strictly confidential.
Due to their active role, Session chairs will benefit of a reduced conference registration fee (the reduction depending on the number and quality of attracted papers).
Important Dates
-------------
30 November 2007: Deadline for Session proposal submissions
1 December 2007: The electronic submission system opens for collecting the contributions

Proceedings
---------
The proceedings of the Conference will be published both by Springer-Verlag and IEEE Computer Society. In particular:

Computer Science (LNCS) series (paper length: 10-16 pages).
2. The selected top quality Session Papers will appear in the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings (paper length 5-11 pages).
For a selected number of top quality papers, the authors will be requested to extend the paper in order to be published as special issues in appropriate international journals, such as Transactions on Computational Science, Journal of Supercomputing, International Journal of Mathematical Algorithms, Computer Graphics and CAD/CAM Journal, IJCSE, IJCGA etc.
Conference policy
--------------
By submitting the paper to ICCSA conference, all authors agree to abide by all ICCSA conference paper submission, publication and presentation policies. Namely, authors confirm that the work is original, has not appeared in literature in any form in the past and will not be submitted to any other venue concurrently with ICCSA submission or until it appears in ICCSA proceedings (in the case of acceptance). Furthermore, upon paper acceptance, paper authors agree to transfer copyright on the accepted paper to ICCSA, and one of the authors will register the paper and present the paper at the event. No paper withdrawals can be accepted after Conference pre-registration date or within three months of the actual event, whichever date comes first. Paper withdrawal request can be only accepted in writing through letter or fax to conference organizers.
