The 2008 International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2008) will be held from June 30th to July 3rd, 2008 at University of Perugia, 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 a series of highly successful International Conferences on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA), 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 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 discuss new issues, to tackle complex problems and find advanced solutions able to shape new trends in Computational Science.
