The International Conference on Computational Science 2008 (ICCS 2008) aims to bring together researchers and scientists from mathematics and computer science as basic computing disciplines, researchers from various application areas who are pioneering advanced application of computational methods to sciences such as physics, chemistry, life sciences, and engineering, arts and humanitarian fields, along with software developers and vendors, to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to identify new issues, and to shape future directions for research, as well as to help industrial users apply various advanced computational techniques.

You are invited to submit a paper. Please see the Call for Papers for paper submission information. All accepted oral papers will be printed in the conference proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A selected number of papers will also be published as special issues of appropriate journals.CCS 2008 invites original contributions on all topics related to computational science, including, but not limited to:

* Scientific Computing
