computers and communications. ISCC takes place annually, typically
in July. Symposium locations include Egypt, Greece, France, Tunisia,
and Italy with plans for other sites in the Mediterranean region

Profile: Researchers, educators, and practitioners from all over the
world attend the symposium. It is a professional forum held mostly
in the Mediterranean region in a professional and friendly
atmosphere. Attendees and organizers have developed many friendships
