Dr.\ Ali Fahmy, previous Dean of Faculty of Computers and Information, and General Coordinator of the conference in its eighth course at Cairo, stated that holding the conference coincides with the approval of the Egyptian Constitution that stated in article 12 Arabization of education, science, and knowledge which raised controversies in opinions because the majority of books, scientific journals and conferences in scientific journals are written and published in English
Dr.\ Ali Fahmy added that concerning computer science and engineering, there are no recent references written in Arabic, accordingly, he demanded the participants in the conference that Arabization issue is not less important than the issue of eradication of illiteracy.
