CALL FOR PAPERS ***

SCCC 2008

*XXVII International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science Society
Published by IEEE CS Press*

10-15 November 2008, Punta Arenas, Chile
(Co-located with JCC 2008), http://www.sccc.cl

The International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science Society
(SCCC) is one of the oldest and most
important computer science conferences in Latin America, and has one
of the highest-quality technical levels
in the region. It is an international forum for presenting recent
results in computer science research, and is
published by IEEE-CS Press. The official language of the conference is
English.

The conference will be held in Punta Arenas, a small city located at
the southernmost tip of the world (53
degrees south), namely, the very end of the South-American Continent
(Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego). This
friendly town will welcome you at any time of the year but November is
definitely the ideal time to visit.
Days are long, the sun sets after 10pm, the tourist season is just
starting and the weather - statistically - is at
its best.

Penguin colonies, among other exotic "inhabitants" of the Magellan
Strait and "Tierra del Fuego" region, can
be enjoyed after one hour drive from Punta Arenas, and two days trips
can be easily arranged to see one of the
world finest landscape scenarios called "Torres del Paine" national
park, wherein you will find a unique mix
of high Andes' peaks, glaciers, lakes, rivers and varied typical flora
and fauna.
