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.
The 2004 event is composed of the following 18 conferences:
