The scope of this Symposium (ISGLP2008) covers a wide range of the aspects on gaseous plasma fundamental physics and applications, and liquid plasmas which have recently attracted much attention as promising tools for materials and environmental sciences.

The followings are key topics in gaseous and liquid plasmas related to the scope of the conference. Other related researches are also welcome to be presented.

Gaseous Plasma Sessions

1. Plasma Production and Control
2. Plasma Diagnostics and Monitoring
3. Waves, Instabilities, and Transport
4. Strongly Coupled / Complex Plasmas
5. Negative-Ion / Ionic / Pair Plasmas
6. Micro / Atmospheric-Pressure Plasmas
7. Space and Astrophysical Plasmas
8. Plasma Applications

Liquid Plasma Sessions

1. Arc / Streamer / Grow Discharge Plasmas in Liquid
2. Bubble Discharge Plasmas in Liquid
3. Pulsed-Power Discharge in Liquid
4. Soft Matter Plasmas
5. Liquid-Gas Interfacial Plasmas
6. Plasmas in Supercritical Medium
7. Materials / Environmental Application of Liquid Plasmas

Contributed papers will be presented separately in oral(composed of both invited and contributed papers) and poster sessions. The authors are requested to submit a short abstract (about 300 words) via the web site of ISGLP not later than June 20, 2008.
The short abstract will be refereed by the Organizing Committee, and the decision will be notified to the corresponding author. Authors of the accepted papers should submit a four-page manuscript for a proceedings volume (in a one-column, camera-ready form) via the web site of ISGLP by the end of July, 2008.
