SAC 2008
---------------
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 Ceará, 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:

*) Original and unpublished research work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 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

http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2008/

Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed. For more 
information please visit the SAC 2008 Website.
