The International Workshop on Parameterized and Exact Computation, covers research in all aspects of parameterized and exact computation and complexity, including but not limited to: new techniques for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorithms, parameterized complexity theory, relationship between parameterized complexity and traditional complexity, applications of parameterized computation, implementation issues of parameterized algorithms, high-performance computing and fixed-parameter tractability. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions for future research.

IWPEC 2008 takes place at the University of Victoria (UVic), located in British Columbia's capital Victoria on Vancouver Island.
