Skiathos is a beautiful, wooded island, far greener than one would expect a Greek island to be, which has between 60 & 70 fine sandy beaches, many of which have not become overcrowded & some of which can be virtually empty, even in the height of summer. The environment is incredibly varied & can range from hidden, wooded valleys (like our own in Zorbathes) to Monasteries set against a backdrop of barren rock, from shallow beaches with pastures behind to plunging cliffs with beaches nestling below them, only accessible by boat. There are several offshore islands which are worth visiting and where you will find beaches with less people on them than the main island ones. At the eastern end of the island is the main town, also called Skiathos, surrounding a well sheltered harbour which fills in the summer with every type of vessel from 3 metre fishing boats to 11 metre yachts to 40 metre motor yachts. In Skiathos town you can find everything. It is a thriving, cosmopolitan centre that hums with energy during the summer months contrasting nicely with the lazy beach days. You can have a slow ouzo on the waterfront, boogie all night, shop 'til you drop or fill yourself at one of the many of tavernas & restaurants. Whatever you fancy, there will be someone catering for it. Places of interest & beauty worth a visit are: The church of Aghios Nikolaos, The Old Castle, The Bourtzi, The Plakes, The graveyard (where my father was buried for 3 years), The boatyard by Megali Ammos Beach, Papadiamantis House A walk through the upper west part of Skiathos, from the Health Centre down to the Plakes and up & back to the fish market and Old Port. This is the most original part of Skiathos and the narrow streets give it a lot of atmosphere. The main road follows the south coast until it reaches the west end of the island & terminates at Koukounaries beach. Many famous Artists of Greece, like Alexander Papadiamantis and Alexander Moraitidis were born in Skiathos ("The Island of Poets").

Kluev, Univ. of Aizu, Tsuruga, Ikki-machi, Fukushima, Japan. Welcome Address by the General Chair: Dear Colleagues, The idea of the organization of a forum on Modern Information Technologies and Robotics was successfuly realized last year in Malta by the World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS). Many researchers from all over the world attended. This conference is one of the largest and most important scientific forum sponsored by the WSEAS. This year the Second Multiconference will be held in Skiathos Island, Greece on September, 25 -28. On behalf of the WSEAS and in my own name, I would like to invite you to submit papers to this conference. WSEAS promotes the development and the unified consideration of new methods and computational techniques, as well as their applications in science and engineering. This conference covers the most important topics in Signal, Speech and Image Processing; Multimedia, Internet and Video Technologies; Simulation, Modelling and Optimization; as well Robotics, Distance Learning, and Intelligent Communication Systems. The aim of this conference is to discover new challenges in various branches of Information Technologies, to foster opportunities for international collaboration between scientists all over the world, and to explore directions for further research. Your excellent papers will elevate the conference to new academic heights. Participating in this conference is an honor because you will meet distinguished and world renowned scientists, academic members and practitioners working on Information Technologies and Robotics. I hope you that you are aware that WSEAS always offers participants excellent proceedings and superb Post-Conference books, published by WSEAS Press International Editions. And that is not all. There will also be an opportunity for journal publication for participants. This year a magnificent island in Aegean Sea was selected for the conference sight. You will experience the exciting town of Skiathos. A visit to Skiathos offers participants wonderful opportunities to create pleasant memories of their trip and the conference. The conference is waiting for your submissions of your latest research. Good luck and best wishes, Vitaliy Kluev Biography of Prof. Kluev Co- Chair: Prof. M.J.
