* Conference background and goals
The IADIS Applied Computing 2008 conference aims to address the main
issues of concern within the applied computing area and related
fields. This conference covers essentially technical aspects. The
applied computing field is divided into more detailed areas (see

will also be considered since they might be of benefit to conference
attendees.

The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The
proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book.
The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of
their papers in specific journals, and in the IADIS International
Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems.
