The 2008 International Symposium on Computer Science and its Applications (CSA-08) http://www.sersc.org/CSA2008 Wrestpoint Hotel, Hobart, Australia, October 13 - 15, 2008 Download CFP here ( PDF, DOC ) The 2008 International Symposium on Computer Science and its Applications (CSA-08) will be held in Wrestpoint Hotel, Hobart, Australia on October 13 - 15, 2008. CSA-08 will be the most comprehensive symposium focused on the various aspects of advances in Computer Science. The CSA-08 will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of CSA. In addition, the symposium will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in CSA. Furthermore, we expect that the symposium and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. Topics (7 Tracks) Track 1.
