CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2004 International Multiconference in Computer Science and Computer Engineering (18 Joint Int'l Conferences) http://www.world-academy-of-science.org
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA June 21-24, 2004
Dear Colleagues:
You are invited to submit a draft paper (see instructions below) and/or a proposal to organize a technical session/workshop. All accepted papers will be published in the respective conference proceedings. The names of technical session/workshop organizers/chairs will appear on the cover of the proceedings as Associate Editors. Any help in distributing this announcement would be most appreciated.
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:
1. The 2004 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'04)
2. The 2004 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IC-AI'04)
3. The 2004 International Conference on Imaging Science, Systems, and Technology (CISST'04)
4. The 2004 International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Visualization Methods (MSV'04)
5. The 2004 International Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice (SERP'04)

Proposals to organize technical sessions should be submitted as soon as possible.
PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:
Each technical session will have at least 6 paper presentations (from different authors). The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, ... The names of session chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference proceedings. After the conference, some sessions will be considered for publication in appropriate journals as Special Issues with the session proposer as the Guest Editor of the journal.
Proposals to organize technical sessions should include the following information: name and address (+ E-mail) of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session, and a short description on how the session will be advertised (in most cases, session proposers solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the session proposer). Mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia (address is given above); E-mail submissions are preferred.
MEMBERS OF PROGRAM & ORGANIZING COMMITTEES:
The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World Academy of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific computing; artificial intelligence; imaging science; databases; simulation; software engineering; embedded systems; internet and web technologies; communications; computer security; and bioinformatics.) The Program Committee for individual conferences is currently being formed. Those interested in joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia (hra@cs.uga.edu) the following information: Name, affiliation and position, complete mailing address, email address, tel/fax numbers, a short biography together with research interests and the name of the conference offering to help with.
