The two-volume set LNCS 5072 and 5073 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2008, held in Perugia, Italy, in June/July, 2008.

The two volumes contain papers presenting a wealth of original research results in the field of computational science, from foundational issues in computer science and mathematics to advanced applications in virtually all sciences making use of computational techniques. The topics of the fully refereed papers are structured according to the five major conference themes: computational methods, algorithms and scientific applications, high performance technical computing and networks, advanced and emerging applications, geometric modelling, graphics and visualization, as well as information systems and information technologies.

Moreover, submissions from more than 20 workshops and technical sessions in the areas, such as embedded systems, geographical analysis, computational geometry, computational geomatics, computer graphics, virtual reality, computer modeling, computer algebra, mobile communications, wireless networks, computational forensics, data storage, information security, web learning, software engineering, computational intelligence, digital security, biometrics, molecular structures, material design, ubiquitous computing, symbolic computations, web systems and intelligence, and e-education contribute to this publication.
