Dear Colleagues:

You are invited to submit a draft paper (see instructions below)
and/or a proposal to organize a technical session/workshop.

The International Multiconference in Computer Science and
Computer Engineering is a major annual research event.
It assembles a spectrum of affiliated research conferences 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.
We expect to have over 2,000 attendees for this set of conference.
