*Scope*
=======

The Computational Science and Engineering area has earned prominence through
advances in electronic and integrated technologies beginning in the 1940s.
Current times are very exciting and the years to come will witness a
proliferation in the use of advanced computing systems.

The scientific and engineering application domains have a key role in
shaping future research and development activities in academia and industry,
especially when the solution of large and complex problems must cope with
tight timing schedules.

This Conference is to bring together computer scientists, applied
mathematicians, engineers in different disciplines and researchers to
present, discuss and exchange ideas, results and experiences in the area of
advanced computing for problems in science and engineering applications and
inter-disciplinary applications.

Among the main topics of interest (but not limited to) are:

- Intelligent, Bioinspired and Autonomic Computing
- Distributed and Parallel Computing
- Distributed Database and Data Mining
- Grid, P2P, Web Services and Internet Computing
- Mobile Computing and Wireless Communications
- HPC Applications
- Scientific and Engineering Computing
- Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing
- Advanced Networking and Applications
- Security, Privacy and Trust
- Education in Computational Scientific and Engineering
- Applications to the following areas, but not limited to:
      - computational fluid dynamics and mechanics
      - material sciences
      - space, weather, climate systems and global changes
      - computational environment and energy systems
      - computational ocean and earth sciences
      - combustion system simulation
      - computational chemistry
      - computational physics
      - bioinformatics and computational biology
      - medical applications
      - transportation systems simulations
      - combinatorial and global optimization problems
      - structural engineering
      - computational electro-magnetic
      - computer graphics and multimedia
      - semiconductor technology, and electronic circuits and system design
      - dynamic systems
      - computational finance
      - data mining
      - signal and image processing, etc

*About the Conference*
======================

The CSE (International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering)
conference previously was held mainly as the International Workshop on High
Performance Scientific and Engineering Computing for tenth editions, mostly
in conjunction with International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP),
as COATA-98 (Orlando, USA, July, 1998), HPSEC-99 (Fukushima, Japan,
September 1999), HPSEC-00 (Toronto, Canada, August, 2000), HPSEC-01
(Valencia, Spain, September, 2001), HPSEC-02 (Vancouver, Canada, August,
2002), HPSEC-03 (Kaohsing, Taiwan, October, 2003), HPSEC-04 (Montreal,
Canada, August, 2004),
HPCSE-04 with WCC-04 (Toulouse, France, August, 2004), HPSEC-05 (Oslo,
Norway, June, 2005), and HPSEC-06 (Columbus, USA, August, 2006).

After many successful editions, this conference will be organized
independently starting in 2008, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This Conference is
sponsored by IEEE TCSC Technical Committee on Scalable Computing and IEEE
Computer Society.

*About Sao Paulo, Brazil*
=========================

Sao Paulo, the 19a richest city of the world, is officially inserted in a
larger metropolitan region which holds 39 towns in total, and a population
of more than
19 million inhabitants (2005).  It is one of the biggest financial centers
of Brazil and the world. Its economy is going through a deep transformation.
Once a city with a strong industrial character, Sao Paulo's economy has
become increasingly based on the tertiary sector, focusing on services and
businesses for the country.

Sao Paulo is located on a plateau, part of the vast region known as the
Brazilian Highlands, with an average elevation of around 800 metres (2,625
ft) above sea level - though at a distance of only about 70 kilometers (43
mi) from the Atlantic Ocean. This distance is covered by two highways, the
Anchieta and the Imigrantes, that roll down the range, leading to the
portuary city of Santos and the beach resort of Guaruja. Rolling terrain
prevails within the urbanized areas of Sao Paulo but in the North of the
city - where the Serra da Cantareira Range boasts higher elevations and a
sizable remnant of the Atlantic Rain Forest.
