HONORARY PRESIDENT: Alejandro Buchmann, Freie Universitaet Darmstadt, Germany

The Mexican International Conference on Computer Science is one of the most important
scientific actions of the Mexican Society on Computer Science (SMCC). It promotes the
publication of scientific results of the international community related to applied and
fundamental research on Computer Science. Today, Computer Science has enlarged its
horizons and it is practiced under multidisciplinary contexts that introduce new challenges to
theoretical and technical approaches. In this sense, the conference provides a main scientific
track but also workshops and tutorials on emergent and hybrid topics and technologies.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Research papers

Authors are invited to submit full papers (12 pages, IEEE style) to this topic according
to the conference schedule. All accepted full papers will be published in the IEEE
conference proceedings and a selection of papers will be published in a recognized
journal with ISSN registration.

Industrial, Applications, and Experience Papers

Full papers or extended abstracts must be submitted electronically, using the conference
management tool. In particular, each paper must be formatted according to the
conference's camera-ready format (IEEE style) and the page length is restricted to at
most 12 pages.

VENUE

French poet AndrŽ Breton famously called Mexico the surrealist country par excellence, and
Mexico City, the capital seems to revel in its strangeness. The world's third largest urban
area (by some estimates) fills a highland basin 2240m above the sea level, so you might
already feel a bit light-headed upon arrival. The city impresses visitors as a wonderfully
weird and welcoming world, and captivates them with its year-round spring-like climate,
bubbling street life and abundant cultural offerings.

ENC 2009 will profit from the cultural opportunities offered by Mexico City
(http://www.mexicocity.com.mx/indexen.html) and will combine science with an interesting
cultural program. Here some links about the content of the program:
