SUBMISSION OF
FULL PAPERS AND INDEXING INFORMATION:
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 May 25, 2012 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
be stated on the
first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word
abstract (for
the list of joint conferences, see below). The length of the
final/Camera-Ready
papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column
IEEE style)
pages.
Authors whose
papers are ACCEPTED will be instructed to upload their papers
to a particular
web site for publication - the uploaded papers to the
publication web
site will only be checked for correct typesetting.
The proceedings
will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and
will also be
made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in
science citation
databases that track citation frequency/data for each
published paper
(science citation databases such as: Inspec / IET / The
Institute for
Engineering & Technology; The French National Center for
Scientific
Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core
scientific
literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals;
only about 9%
are proceedings; this set of proceedings are selected to be among
the 9% -
accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit,
Qwam, and STN
International); and others. Though, there is no guarantee that
the proceedings
will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings,
in the past, the
proceedings were included in these databases. Therefore,
we will also be
sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI
Compendex/Elsevier.
In addition to
the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be
invited to
submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a
number of
research books contracted with various publishers. These books
will be composed
after the conference. Also, many chairs of tracks will be
forming journal
special issues to be published after the conference.
Note that
authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will
have their
papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final
Edition of the
conference proceedings which will go to press soon after the
conference (the
conference would then make the necessary arrangements to ship
the printed
proceedings/books to such authors). The Final Edition of the
conference
proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a
number of
sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book.
Submission of
Poster Papers:
Poster papers
can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions
that appear
above. 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 if
the author of the accepted poster wishes to have his/her poster
published as a
2-page extended abstract.)

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. 4043
