CALL FOR PAPERS - SAC 2008 The 23rd ACM Symposium on Applied Computing March 16 - 20, 2008, Fortaleza, Cear=E1, Brazil
--------------- For the past twenty-two 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 2008 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is hosted by the University of Fortaleza and the Federal University of Cear=E1, in Brazil. 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 2008. Submissions fall into the following categories: =B7 Original and unpublished research work =B7 Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business areas =B7 Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains =B7 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 and will be made available in the ACM Digital library. Submission guidelines can be found on SAC 2008 Website (on the header). Prospective papers should be submitted per track using the provided automated submission system at
