OTHER INFORMATION:


            It is planned to add other related conferences, symposiums,
            and workshops to be held simultaneously (same location and
            dates) for the 2002 International Multiconferences in Computer
            Science. Each new conference will have it's own proceedings and
            technical/research sessions. Contact H. R. Arabnia
            (hra@cs.uga.edu) if you are interested in organizing a conference,
            symposium, or a workshop.
            (The 2001 International Multiconference in Computer Science
            attracted over 1,400 participants from over 52 countries.)
