Although EATIS is only in its third edition, it has already been recognized by several well-known international institutions which publish papers in English, Portuguese and Spanish languages. The proceedings of EATIS.org are published by The ACM Digital Library (ACM-DL). Selected best papers of "The EATIS'08 ACM-DL Proceedings" will be invited to submit extended papers which will be further peer-reviewed for potential inclusion in special issues of the following international journals: IEEE Latin America Transactions, Journal of Mobile Multimedia (JMM), International Journal of Web Information Systems (IJWIS), Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (JTAER). In addition, the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) have both renewed EATIS.org in-Technical Collaboration Protocols. Furthermore, the ACM opened space and technical cooperation with its Special Interest Groups on Multimedia (SIG MM), on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and on Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH). EATIS is being held in Brazil for the first time, providing an opportunity for the local scientific and professional community to integrate with researchers and practioners with a broad range of interests in the main topics of the conference from Brazil and other countries. EATIS 2008 is structured around technical sessions, seminars and talks from invited speakers from the international community. We specially thank the keynote speakers Dr. Ismail Khalil and Dr. Patrício Serendero, for their valuable contributions in this edition of the conference. The proceedings record the contributions of 47 papers, 25 of them published as full papers and 22 as short papers. These papers are selected out of 112 submissions from 15 different countries, including Brazil. Each of the selected papers was evaluated by at least two reviewers and one advocate.
