The 5th International Conference on Enterprise Systems, Accounting and Logistics 2008 (ICESAL 2008) will take place in Heraklion, Crete Island, Greece, on the 7th and 8th of July, 2008. Crete, the home of the Minoan Civilization, is an ideal place for vacations and sightseeing.

ICESAL, organized and supported by the Department of Accounting, Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece, has emerged as one of the most inspiring, profound and interesting conferences in the area of the intersection of the disciplines of Accounting/Logistics/Management and Enterprise Systems.
