D
EAR Reader, it is our pleasure to present to you Proceedings
of the 2008 International Multiconference on
Computer Science and Information Technology
(IMCSIT’08), which will take place in Wisła, Poland, on
October 20-22, 2008. IMCSIT'2008 will be co-located with
the XXIV Autumn Meeting of the Polish Information Processing
Society (PIPS).
IMCSIT is a result of the evolutionary process. In 2005 a
Scientific Session took place during the XXI Autumn Meeting
of PIPS and consisted of 27 refereed presentations. After
this relative success (we have advertised the Session very
late in the year) we have decided to expand and extend it into
a full-blown conference but continue cooperation (co-location)
with the Autumn Meetings of PIPS. As a result of a
steady growth, in 2008, IMCSIT will consists of the following
events (and Proceedings are organized into sections that
correspond to each of them):
• Workshop on Agent Based Computing (ABC V),
• 3 rd International Symposium: Advances in Artificial
Intelligence and Applications (AAIA'07),
• Workshop on Computer Aspects of Numerical
Algorithms (CANA'08),
• Computational Linguistics―Applications
(CLA'08),
• 8 th International Multidisciplinary Conference on
e-Commerce and e-Government (ECOM-08),
• 4 th Workshop on Large Scale Computations on
Grids (LaSCoG'08),
• First International Symposium Multimedia―Applications
and Processing (MMAP'08),
• International Conference on Principles of Information
Technology and Applications (PITA'08),
• International Workshop on Real-Time Software
(RTS’08),
• 3 rd International Workshop on Secure Information
Systems (SIS’08),
• Workshop on Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks: Urban
Legends and Reality (WAHOC'08),
• Workshop on Computational Optimization
(WCO'08).
These conferences had their own Organizers and a Program
Committees (listed in these Proceedings). We would like to
express our warmest gratitude to all of them for their hard
work in attracting and later refereeing 214 submissions.
IMCSIT'2008 was organized under patronage of Professor
Barbara Kudrycka, Minister of Science and Higher Education
and Waldemar Pawlak, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister
of Economy. Furthermore, IMCSIT'2008 was organized
in cooperation with the Poland Chapter of the IEEE Computer
Society, Systems Research Institute Polish Academy of
Sciences, Institute of Computer Science of the Polish Academy
of Sciences, Institute of Innovation and Information Society,
and Asociación de Técnicos de Informática.
Additionally, the 3 rd International Symposium: Advances
in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (AAIA'08) was
devoted to the memory of Professor Ryszard S. Michalski,
and organized in cooperation with:
• Poland Chapter of the IEEE Computational Intelligence
Society,
• Polish Neural Network Society,
• World Federation of Soft Computing,
• European Society for Fuzzy Logic And Technology,
and
• European Neural Network Society.
We would also like to mention that the 1 st International
Symposium: Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Applications
(AAIA'2006) was devoted to the memory of Professor
Zdzisław Pawlak. During this event a special awards carrying
his name and recognizing “a general contribution” and “a
contribution by a young researcher” were awarded. This year
the Zdzislaw Pawlak Awards will be presented for the third
time. They are sponsored by the Mazowsze Section and the
Board of the Polish Information Processing Society.
Finally, we have utilized a unique opportunity brought
about by co-location of a scientific/academic event
(IMCSIT'2008) and a business IT oriented one (Autumn
Meeting of PIPS) to address the inter-relations between the
two. To this effect, in cooperation with the NESSI Technology
Platform, we have organized a special joint session devoted
to the IT Research and Development activities in
Poland and in the European Union. During this session, for
the first time, a Jan Łukasiewicz award will be given to the
most innovative IT company in Poland.
During IMCSIT'2008 we plan three keynote presentations:
Paolo Bresciani will talk about “Software and Services in the
Future Internet; the 7th Framework Programme Perspective,”
Mike Hinchey will present a talk entitled “You Can't Get
There from Here!Problems and Potential Solutions in Developing
New Classes of Complex Computing Systems,” finally,
Zdravko Karakehayov, who is an IEEE Distinguished
Visitor will present a talk devoted to “Wireless Ad-hoc Networks:
Where Security, Real-Time and Lifetime Meet.” Papers
based on the latter two presentations can be found in
these Proceedings.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Minister of
Science and Higher Education for financial support in preparing
and publishing this volume.
We hope that you will enjoy this volume and find it useful
in your work. We would also like to invite you to participate
in the next edition of IMCSIT as well Autumn Meeting of
PIPS which will take place in Mrągowo in October of next
year.
