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, the CSE conference will be organized independently starting in 2008, in São Paulo, Brazil. This Conference is sponsored by IEEE TCSC Technical Committee on Scalable Computing and IEEE Computer Society.

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 various advanced computing systems.

It is increasingly becoming an emerging and promising discipline in shaping future research and development activities in academia and industry, ranging from engineering, science, finance, economics, arts and humanitarian fields, specially 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.
