our call for special sessions we can now offer 28 special sessions! Often
several international scholars and practitioners have teamed up to organize
a session together. In addition to regular research sessions, several CFPs
are focusing on contributions from practitioners (marked with an asterisk in

session. 

 

All CFPs can be downloaded in PDF format by clicking on the session name in

Research sessions accept full papers and research in progress papers while
practitioner sessions accept Powerpoint presentations and short practitioner
papers. All contributions have to be submitted via our paper submission
system at www.conftool.com/iscram2008. The final submission date is December
21st 2007. Please note that the format for the papers and further
announcements are also posted on www.iscram.org <http://www.iscram.org/> . 

 

If you wish to submit a paper that clearly fits with the general ISCRAM2008
conference theme, but does not fit in one of the special sessions, please
submit it to one of the open ISCRAM sessions. If you have any question on a
specific CFP: contact the session chairs; their email addresses are in the
