      <h3>Call for Papers</h3>
      <h4>8th IEEE International Conference on eScience <br>
        October 8-12, 2012 <br>
        Chicago, IL, USA </h4>
      <p> Researchers in all disciplines are increasingly adopting
        digital tools, techniques and practices, often in communities
        and projects that span disciplines, laboratories, organizations,
        and national boundaries. The eScience 2012 conference is
        designed to bring together leading international and
        interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of
        eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The
        conference serves as a forum to present the results of the
        latest applications research and product/tool developments and
        to highlight related activities from around the world. Also, we
        are now entering the second decade of eScience and the 2012
        conference gives an opportunity to take stock of what has been
        achieved so far and look forward to the challenges and
        opportunities the next decade will bring.</p>
      <p>A special emphasis of the 2012 conference is on advances in the
        application of technology in a particular discipline.
        Accordingly, significant advances in applications science and
        technology will be considered as important as the development of
        new technologies themselves. Further, we welcome contributions
        in educational activities under any of these disciplines.</p>
      <p>As a result, the conference will be structured around two
        e-Science tracks:</p>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>eScience Algorithms and Applications</strong>
          <ul class="square">
            <li> eScience application areas, including:
              <ul>
                <li> Physical sciences</li>
                <li> Biomedical sciences</li>
                <li> Social sciences and humanities</li>
              </ul>
            </li>
            <li> Data-oriented approaches and applications</li>
            <li> Compute-oriented approaches and applications</li>
            <li> Extreme scale approaches and applications</li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li><strong>Cyberinfrastructure to support eScience</strong>
          <ul class="square">
            <li> Novel hardware</li>
            <li> Novel uses of production infrastructure</li>
            <li> Software and services</li>
            <li> Tools</li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
      <p>The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE
        Computer Society Press, USA and will be made available online
        through the IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers will be
        invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the <a
