==================== WSUPT'08 CALL FOR PAPERS ==========================
The 2008 Workshop on Simulation of Urban Planning and Transportation Systems(WSUPT'08) 
			(http://www.cc.chu.edu.tw/~sclo)

				in conjunction with
The 2008 IEEE 11th International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering 
					(CSE 2008)
Sao Paulo - Brazil
July 16-18, 2008 
  
Welcome Message
The 2008 IEEE 11th International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering is 
mainly intended to be an open forum for discussion on the current trends and future 
directions of advanced computing for science and engineering application. This workshop 
focuses on the area of simulation techniques and application for urban planning and 
transportation systems. The aim of this workshop is to provide original material and 
up-to-date synthesis of the state of modern transportation analysis, simulation of urban 
planning and strategies, simulation of urbanization and regional development, logistics 
and interdisciplinary application of scientific computing in urban and transportation 
studies.  

We therefore invite urban and regional planners, transportation researchers, computational
scientists and engineers, computer scientists and applied mathematicians to present their 
recent advances, ideas, results and to exchange experiences in the areas of modeling, 
simulation, optimization and other support for problems in urban planning and transportation 
systems. This workshop is considered as a special workshop in conjunction with the 2008 
IEEE 11th International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE 2008). 
We welcome contributions from researchers of academia and industry.

Best Regards,
Workshop Chair Prof. Shih-Ching Lo
Department of Transportation Technology and Logistics Management,
Chung Hua University, Hsinchu 300, Taiwan

Paper Submission
Authors are expected to submit a paper in PDF format with 5-10 keywords following the IEEE CS format.
(http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps)Program committee members and external reviewers will provide 
authors with at least three technical reviews. Submitted papers will be ranked based on relevance to the 
Conference and technical merit. Final version of accepted papers should at most 6 pages and will be published 
by IEEE Computer Society Press as CSE-08 workshop proceedings. Authors of accepted papers, or at least 
one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers 
will be removed from the IEEE Digital Library after the conference. 

Please submit your paper to the workshop through the submission page of the workshop 
(http://cse.stfx.ca/~cse08workshops/sub/). Please select the The 2008 Workshop on Simulation of 
Urban Planning and Transportation Systems (WSUPT 08) in the frame of Workshop. 
For any questions, please contact Prof. Shih-Ching Lo via e-mail (sclo at chu.edu.tw).
