WORLDCOMP'14
(The web site is Under
Construction)
=====================================================================
You are invited
to submit a paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published in
printed conference books/proceedings (ISBN) and will also be made available
online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that
track citation frequency/data for each paper. In addition, like prior years,
extended versions of selected papers (about 35%) will appear in journals and
edited research books (publishers include:
Springer,
Elsevier, BMC, and others). See the following links for a small subset of the
publications based on the Congress: (some of these books and special issues
have already received the top 25% downloads in their respective fields - we
also have a number of Elsevier and Springer books in the pipeline based on the
last offering of the congress):
The Congress is
composed of a number of tracks (joint-conferences, tutorials, sessions,
workshops, poster and panel discussions); all will be held simultaneously, same
location and dates: July 21-24, 2014. For the complete list of joint
conferences, see below.

(including all affiliated
conferences).
SUBMISSION OF
REGULAR PAPERS:
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them to the evaluation
web site at: http://world-comp.org . Submissions must be uploaded by March 15,
2014 and must be in either MS doc or pdf formats (about 7 pages including all
figures, tables, and references - single space, font size of 10 to 12). All
reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their
final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the paper
should include: title of the paper,
name, affiliation, postal address, and email address for each author. The first
page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5
topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. The name
of the conference that the paper is being submitted for consideration must also
be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract.
The length of the final/Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7
(two-column IEEE style) pages.
Each paper will
be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance,
clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a
member of the conference program committee would be charged to make the final
decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from
additional referees. Papers whose authors include a member of the conference
program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process.
(Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered for
discussion/panels).
The proceedings
will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made
available online. The printed proceedings/books will be available for
distribution on site at the conference. The proceedings will be indexed in
science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each
published paper. Science citation databases include: Inspec / IET / The
Institute for Engineering & Technology; The French National Center for
Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (accessable from INIST,
Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, & STN International);
and others. The proceedings/books of this congress have been evaluated for
inclusion into major science citation index databases. We are happy to report
that so far, the evaluation board of science citation index databases have
approved the indexing, integrating, and inclusion of the following conference
tracks into relevant indexing databases (indexing databases include, among
others: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex, Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others): BIOCOMP, DMIN, ERSA, GCA,
ICAI, ICOMP, ICWN, IKE, IPCV, PDPTA, and SAM; please see above for the full
name of each of these conferences.
In addition to
the above, we have arranged two new book series (multiple books in each
series); one with Elsevier publishers (Emerging Trends in Computer Science and
Applied Computing) and another with Springer publishers (Transactions of
Computational Science and Computational Intelligence).
After the
conference (the whole process takes 12 months), a significant number of authors
of accepted papers of our congress, will be given the opportunity to submit the
extended version of their papers for publication consideration in these books.
We anticipate having between 10 to 20 books a year in each of these book series
projects. Each book in each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer
science indexing products (which includes:
Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex, Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others). For a recent and a very small
subset of the books that have been published based on the extended versions of
accepted papers for this congress, see:
SUBMISSION OF
POSTER PAPERS:
Poster papers
can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear
above (see, SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS) except for the submission is limited
to 2 pages. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is
being submitted as a poster". Poster papers (if accepted) will be
published if and only the author of the accepted paper wishes to do so.
PROPOSAL FOR
ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS:
Each conference
(see below for the list) is composed of a number of tracks.
A track can be a
session, a workshop, or a symposium. A session will have at least 6 papers; a
workshop at least 12 papers; and a symposium at least 18 papers. Track chairs
will be responsible for all aspects of their tracks, including: soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, ...
The names of track chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference
proceedings and on the cover of the printed books (and indexed in science
databases as such).
Proposals to
organize tracks (sessions, workshops, or symposiums) should include the
following information: name and address (+ email) of proposer, his/her
biography, title of track, a 100-word description of the topic of the track,
the name of the conference the track is submitted for consideration (ie,
BIOCOMP, CSC, ...), and a short description on how the track will be advertised
(in most cases, track proposers solicit papers from colleagues and researchers
whose work is known to the track proposer).
E-mail your
track proposal to editor@world-comp.org . We would like to receive the track
proposals as soon as possible but by no later than January 21, 2014.

The Congress is
among the top five largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science,
computer engineering and applied computing. We anticipate to have attendees
from about 85 countries/territories. To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere,
see some delegates photos available at:
An important
mission of The Congress is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse
community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers,
educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out
to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities,
institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs)
from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants
from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are
affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The
congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity
objectives."
One main goal of
the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences,
workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common
place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers
in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied
computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and
inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased
opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines.
MEASURABLE
SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of December
14, 2013, papers published in the conference proceedings that have been held as
part of this congress, have received over 27,500 citations (includes about
3,300 self-citations). Citation data obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/. The citation data does not even include
more than 15,000 other citations to papers in conferences whose first offerings
were initiated by worldcomp.
