**********************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS - SAC 2009
The 24th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
8 - 12 March 2009, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009
**********************************************************

For the past twenty-three 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 2009 is
sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on
Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is hosted by
University of Hawaii at Manoa and Chaminade
University of Honolulu.

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 2009. 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* Original and unpublished research work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 by ACM in the annual conference
proceedings, and will be available through the ACM
Digital Library. Submission guidelines can be found on
SAC 2009 Website (on the header).

Prospective papers should be submitted per track using
the provided automated submission system.
Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not
allowed. For all tracks, papers must be submitted using
the ACM style for conference papers, and must be at most
5 pages (up to three further pages are allowed but will
be charged 80USD each at registration time).

An early registration will be required for each
accepted paper in order for the paper to be included
in the proceedings.
At least one author is REQUIRED to present the paper
at the Symposium. SAC is keeping a record of authors
who fail to comply with this requirement, and reserves
the right to restrict their level of participation in
future editions of SAC.
For more information please visit the SAC 2009 Website.
