ICSOFT is now considered a prestigious world-class conference and a top reference in its area.

The yearly meeting place of top researchers and practitioners in Software Engineering, Data Management, and applications related to Information Technologies, ICSOFT is one of the largest conferences in the world in its area organized in an yearly basis, where many top researchers are regularly presenting their work.

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. Additionaly, a selection of the best papers of the conference will be published in a book, by Springer. Best paper awards will also be distributed during the ICSOFT-2008 conference closing session.
All accepted papers will be indexed by "ISI Proceedings", "Inspec" and "dblp".

ICSOFT 2008 will be held in Oporto, Portugal this year, on July 5-8.
