- theory, research methods, development and application of robotic systems.
The multiconference was held with high activity and great interest of the participants.
Proceedings and other materials of the Multiconference were previously published in Russia in the form of collections of materials of local conferences (100 pages.), And in Ukraine, in No. 3'2009 and No.4'2009 of the journal "Artificial intelligence" (116.4 pages).

The following was noted:

1. Research and development in the field of advanced information and computer technologies and artificial intelligence systems are extremely relevant. It determines the main directions of development of modern world scientific progress.
2. Ukraine, the Russian Federation, and Belarus have accumulated a great deal of experience and conducted a significant amount of theoretical and applied research in the field of super-efficient computing and control systems, neural network technologies, digital signal and image processing, pattern recognition; creation of robotic systems, their control, information support and application; creation of artificial intelligence systems for various purposes. At the same time, there is a large number of top-notch scientists and specialists with great scientific potential, which makes it possible to create multiprocessor computing and control systems, robotic systems, artificial intelligence systems corresponding to the modern level of advanced Western developments, and even surpassing them in a number of parameters.
3. Holding a joint conference on these areas allowed to significantly increase the level of scientific results, led to the generation of new ideas and the creation of new joint projects. The experience of an interdisciplinary approach during a joint conference has shown the high effectiveness of such scientific activities.
