It is our pleasure to announce an interesting plenary keynote lecture about the future of artificial intelligence in marketing which will be presented by Prof. Luiz Moutinho within the plenary session on Wednesday, 22 May. 

Prof. Moutinho will present the lecture entitled „Artificial Intelligence in Marketing“ in which he encapsulates reflecting on the artificial intelligence as a new normal and its influences to the society as we know it.

Paul Timmers, a visiting research fellow for cybersecurity policy and digital transformation at the University of Oxford, will take part at the 42nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019 by holding a keynote speech „Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity: Technology and Policy Perspectives“ within the plenary session on Wednesday, 22 May.

In his talk, Paul Timmers will expose the good and bad of the interplay of AI and cybersecurity, the opportunities and the threats. This is one of the most relevant cases to understand how technology and policy interrelate in the digital economy.

Preparations for the 42nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019 are underway. There are only several months left over before the start of the convention.

MIPRO 2019 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE and EAI. As usual, MIPRO invites authors to submit their papers for one of the 12 traditional conferences. Besides them, this year's novelty are 2 new international conferences - Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities and Infrastructures /SSRCI and COnference on COmposability, COmprehensibility and COrrectness of Working Software /4COWS.

The 42^nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019 is traditionally dedicated to information and communication technology, electronics, microelectronics, renewable energy sources, ecology along with new and high technologies in general. We are convinced that MIPRO 2019 will attract more than thousand participants from commerce, science, education, state and local administration, government and local self-government from Croatia and abroad.

You are invited to submit your scientific, professional and review papers for one of our conferences. It can be an opportunity to present results of your research and professional work. Scientific interns and students attending graduate study programs are invited and encouraged to submit their papers. The presentations may contain results of scientific research, development of new products and services including results obtained in doctoral and masters’ theses. We also welcome papers with descriptions of technical, software, hardware and other solutions as well as papers which show the use of nanotechnology, ecology and renewable energy sources. Besides, there are also expected papers of experts in the field of education and education technologies. We invite chairs of European and other projects on science, research, information, technology to present their achievements and experiences. Furthermore, we would like to point out the papers which reflect on programs as a result of European cooperation. MIPRO 2019 is a technological convention opened to all of those who seek for a technological change.

Apart from the conferences there are organized seminars of lifelong learning, round tables, panels, debates, workshops and a traditional exhibition of ICT, electronic and microelectronic products, services and technical solutions. Producers of such equipment, products and services are invited  to present themselves and their products.

We are open to accept proposals and ideas to possibly improve and widen the scope of our conference. Please contact us at mipro@mipro.hr and we are ready to discuss your proposals.

Welcome to the 42^nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019 in the always beautiful town of Opatija, town of tourism, culture, science and new technologies.

We are happy to inform you that all papers have been reviewed, accepted and presented at MIPRO 2018, published on IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Thus the papers are visible and accessible to the scientific and professional community. Thank you in front of the MIPRO Program Committee for participating and collaborating on MIPRO 2018.
