have successfully succeeded their objectives. Special emphasis was given to urban development related with tourism and climate change, global change.

More than 250 delegates from 32 countries participated and presented more than 250 papers. Local authorities, journalists, 26 COST TU801 delegates and 25 post-graduate students follow up the sessions during the meeting.

The Conference was opened by Prof. Bruce Sharky (Louisiana State University, USA) who was the KEYNOTE SPEAKER of the conferences and his speech on disaster resilience in tropical storm regions had great impact to all participants but in particular to the delegates of the Climate change, Global change, Natural hazards, Urban rehabilitation and Sustainability. Prof. Mihaiela Iliescu (Politecnica University of Bucharest, Romania) who was PLENARY SPEAKER of the second day also described some of her research projects currently being carried out by her team and invited the delegates to contact the senior member of her staff in charge of these projects.

Macario Correia (President of Municipality of Faro) and Prof. Teresa Noronha (Director of Research Centre on Spatial Research and Organizations) made an excellent work sponsoring and supporting the social program events. During the visit to the museum of Faro the delegates had the opportunity to see part of the history of the place of the host institution of this conference. During the dinner the Folklore of Santa Barbara Nexe, Faro made an exhibition of traditional dances of the region. The president of Faro Macario Correia and the representative of the local authorities on urban planning and environment Porfirio Maia, did short welcome speech.

The meeting in Faro was characterized by friendly atmosphere as well as the high quality of the presentations and discussions. A variety of topics constituted the focus of paper submissions. In regular sessions papers addressed several interesting topics. Prominent lectures provided key-note and plenary speeches for the conference. Moreover, special sessions from were organized, and invited lectures were given by well-known researchers.

WSEAS Journals

The WSEAS Journals are entirely independent from the WSEAS Conferences, since they are currently candidates in ISI Web of Knowledge (all the WSEAS Conferences and Books have been already in ISI Web of Knowledge). Authors can send (upload) their papers to WSEAS Transactions regardless of whether they have attended a WSEAS conference or not. Also the WSEAS Transactions are the only open access journals in the world where the Authors do not pay any kind of registration fees or publication fees or "donation" (i.e. the full PDF files of the papers are permanantly open for everybody, without any restrictions, while the authors are not charged with any kind of fees). The Editors-in-Chief, being assisted by the members of the Editorial Boards, are the absolute decision makers for the acceptance or not of the submitted papers. WSEAS simply prints out the papers in hard copies & on the web.
