sessions,
workshops, poster and panel discussions); all will be held
simultaneously,
same location and dates: July 27-30, 2015. For the complete
list of joint
conferences, see below.

7 pages)
April 24,
2015: Notification of acceptance (+/-

(including all affiliated federated
conferences).
SUBMISSION OF
DRAFT PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:
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
the due date (see IMPORTANT DATES) and must be in either
MS doc or pdf
formats (about 7 pages including all figures, tables, and
references.) 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; these
formatting
instructions appear at: http://world-comp.org and they conform
to the
two-column IEEE style format). 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 as well as a maximum
of 5 topical
keywords that would best represent the content of the paper.
The first page
should also identify the name of the Contact/Corresponding
author together
with his/her professional email address. A 100 to
150-word
abstract should appear on the first page. Authors are to
conform to the
common CODE OF ETHICS FOR AUTHORS (The document for the
Code of Ethics
is available on the submission web site.)
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. 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,
Engineering Village, EMBASE, and others): BIOCOMP, DMIN, GCA,
ICAI, ICOMP,
ICWN, IKE, IPCV, PDPTA, and SAM. All
proceedings are also
approved for
inclusion into EBSCO (www.ebsco.com), one of the largest
subject index
systems.
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 process may take 12 to 18 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 and 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,
very small
subset of the books (and journal special issues) that have
been published
based on the extended versions of many of our congress
papers, see the
link below:
SUBMISSION OF POSTER
PAPERS:
Poster papers
can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same
instructions
that appear above (see, SUBMISSION OF DRAFT PAPERS FOR
EVALUATION)
except that 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
as such, if and
only if the author of the accepted poster 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).
Track chairs who
attract a sufficient number of solid papers can propose
to edit books
with a major publisher based on the extended versions of the
papers accepted
in their tracks (the congress will facilitate and help such
track chairs to
get the publisher's approval).
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
(i.e., PDPTA, IPCV, ...), 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 (see IMPORTANT DATES).

atmosphere, see
some delegates photos available at:
http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/6626396 (to see a slide show, click on
"Start
SlideShow" tab at the url above.)
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;
i.e.,
facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across
sub-disciplines.
MEASURABLE
SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of December
8, 2014, papers published in the conference proceedings
that have been
held as part of this congress, have received over
27,878 citations
(includes 3,346 self-citations). Citation data is
obtained from
Microsoft Academic Search. The citation data does not
even include
more than 15,000 other citations to papers in conferences
whose first
offerings were initiated by worldcomp. Individual proceedings/
books (2013
& 2014) of the federated congress can be purchased from major
science book
distributors: (such as: EBSCO and others):
