The MPI are experiencing a growing popularity and are currently widely invoked to account for observations that would not be explained otherwise: the activity of the Underlying Event, the cross sections for multiple heavy flavour production, the survival probability of large rapidity gaps in hard diffraction, etc. At the same time, the implementation of the MPI effects in the Monte Carlo models is quickly proceeding through an increasing level of sophistication and complexity that in perspective achieves deep general implications for the LHC physics. The ultimate ambition of this workshop is to promote the MPI as unification concept between seemingly heterogeneous research lines and to profit of the complete experimental picture in order to constrain their implementation in the models, evaluating the spin offs on the LHC physics program. The workshop is structured in five sections, with the first one dedicated to few selected hot highlights in the High Energy Physics and directly connected to the other ones: Multiple Parton Interactions (in both the soft and the hard regimes), Diffraction, Monte Carlo Generators and Heavy Ions. \CLDP \tableofcontents % main ToC \CLDP \setcounter{page}{1} \pagenumbering{arabic} \part[Part 1: Hot Topics]{Hot Topics} {\Large\bfseries Convenors:} \vspace{10mm} {\Large\itshape Paolo Bartalini (National Taiwan University)\\ Yogendra Srivastava (University of Perugia) } \CLDP \begin{papers} % start of individual articles/papers \coltoctitle{Hot Topics} \coltocauthor{Paolo Bartalini, Yogendra Srivastava} %%\Includeart{\CAUT}{\CTIT}{proceedings/intros/sec0/intro} \coltoctitle{Standard Model Higgs Searches at the Tevatron} \coltocauthor{Ralf Bernhard} \Includeart{\CAUT}{\CTIT}{proceedings/02_Ralf_Bernhard/mpi08} \end{papers} % end of individual articles/papers \CLDP \centerline{\bfseries\Large Aknowledgements} \vspace{7mm} The Organizing Committees would like to thank all the authors for their very high quality contributions and their participation to this first edition of the {\em Multiple Parton Interactions at the LHC Workshop}, the $I.N.F.N.$-$Perugia$ and the {\em Physics Department of the Universit\`a degli Studi di Perugia} for their support, and the {\em Comune di Perugia} for its contribution, particularly in providing the conference halls.
