> HISTORY:
>
> The International Multiconference in Computer Science
> and Computer Engineering is a major annual international
> research event. It assembles a spectrum of affiliated
> research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a
> coordinated research meeting held in a common place at
> a common time. This model facilitates communication among
> researchers in different fields of computer science and
> computer engineering. The last Multiconference attracted
> over 1,650 computer science and Engineering researchers
> from 78 countries. It is anticipated that The 2004 Int'l
> Multiconference will attract about 2000 participants.
> The 2004 event is composed of 18 (planned) major
> conferences - attendees will have full access to all 18
> conferences' sessions & tracks.
> Each conference will have its own proceedings. All
> conference proceedings/books are considered for inclusion
> in major database indexes that are designed to provide
> easy access to the current literature of the sciences
> (database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC,
> DBLP, ...).
>
> SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
>
> Prospective authors are invited to submit three copies
> of their draft paper (about 5 pages - single space,
> font size of 10 to 12) to H. R. Arabnia by the due
> date (who may be forwarding the papers to respective
> conference chairs/committees). E-mail submissions in
> MS document or PDF formats are preferable (Fax submissions
> are also acceptable.)
>
> The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will
> be limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have
> been previously published or currently submitted for
> publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper
> should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
