The WCE 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. The conference has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. The WCE conferences serve as good platforms for our members and the entire engineering community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. The last 2008 congress has attracted more than seven hundred participants from over 30 countries.

The summary of submissions and accepted papers in WCE 2008 is as followed:
Total number of submissions received in WCE 2008: 1029
Total number of papers that have been accepted for WCE 2008: 591 (Acceptance rate: 57.43%)
