CALL FOR PAPERS
Paper
Submission Deadline (EXTENDED): April 6, 2013
The
2013 World Congress in Computer Science,
Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
July 22-25, 2013, Las Vegas, USA
WORLDCOMP'13
http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/
You are invited to submit a full 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. 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 this Congress:

In addition to the above, we have arranged two new book
series; one with Elsevier publishers (Transactions on Computer Science and
Applied Computing) and another with Springer publishers (Transactions of
Computational Science and Computational Intelligence). After the conference, 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. The web sites for the two book series will be
made available after the logistics are finalized between our committee and the
publishers (both book series projects have been approved.) 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, Ei village, SCI, ...).
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
22-25, 2013. For the complete list of joint conferences, see below.

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 April 6, 2013
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. (Papers deemed to be philosophical, essay type,
or about controversial topics/applications will not be refereed but may be
considered for discussion/panels/presentation).
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 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. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be
included in SCI 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 SCI EI Compendex/ Elsevier. The printed
proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference.
In addition to the above, we have arranged two new book
series; one with Elsevier publishers (Transactions on Computer Science and
Applied Computing) and another with Springer publishers (Transactions of
Computational Science and Computational Intelligence). After the conference, 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, Ei village, SCI, ...).
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.

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 March 14, 2013, papers published in the conference
proceedings that are currently being held as part of WORLDCOMP, have received
27,591 citations (includes 3,342 self-citations). Citation data obtained from
