This volume represents the refereed proceedings of the Eighth International C- ference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scienti c Computing, which was held at the University of Montréal, from 6 11 July, 2008. It contains a limited selection of articles based on presentations made at the conference. The program was arranged with the help of an international committee consisting of: Ronald Cools, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Luc Devroye, McGill University Henri Faure, CNRS Marseille Paul Glasserman, Columbia University Peter W. Glynn, Stanford University Stefan Heinrich, University of Kaiserslautern Fred J. Hickernell, Illinois Institute of Technology Aneta Karaivanova, Bulgarian Academy of Science Alexander Keller, mental images GmbH, Berlin Adam Kolkiewicz, University of Waterloo Frances Y.
