-> (Since the
original deadline for submission of papers coincided with the
-> Spring
break of many US and Far East institutions, the Steering Committee
-> decided to
extend the deadlines in response to numerous requests. Those
-> authors
who met the original deadlines, will receive the decision on
-> their
papers based on the original dates; i.e., notifications will not
-> be delayed
for those authors.)
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 offerings 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. To get a feeling about the conferences'
atmosphere, see
some delegates photos available at:
IMPORTANT DATES:
April 19,
2014: Submission of full/regular
papers (about 7 pages)
May 10,
2014: Notification of acceptance
(+/- two days)
May 24,
2014: Final papers + Copyright +
Registration
July 21-24,
2014: The 2014 World Congress in
Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, and Applied
Computing
(including all affiliated
and federated 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
April 19, 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 below 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.

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
data does not
even include more than 15,000 other citations to papers
in conferences
whose first offerings were initiated by worldcomp.
