For the past twenty-seven years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2012 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is hosted by The Microsoft Research - University of Trento Centre for Computational and Systems Biology, Trento, Italy.

PAPERS
Authors are invited to submit original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development for the technical program via the various tracks hosted by SAC 2012. Submissions fall into the following categories:

• Original and unpublished research work
• Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business areas
• Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains
• Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems
Peer groups with expertise in the track focus area will blindly review submissions to that track. Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings. Submission guidelines can be found on SAC 2012 Website (on the header). Prospective papers should be submitted to the track using the provided automated submission system. Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed.
