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 18,
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.
(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 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.
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.

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
2012, papers published in the conference proceedings that are currently being
held as part of WORLDCOMP, have received over 27,000 citations (includes about
2,000 self-citations). Citation data obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ .
