(including, NASA, ANL,
LLNL, Sandia, ORNL, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Los
Alamos National
Lab, ...), and a number of Venture Capitalists as well as
speakers
discussing Intellectual Property issues.
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
25-28, 2016. For

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION: (
http://world-comp.org )
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 (7 pages for Regular Research
Papers; 4 pages for
Short Research Papers; 2 pages for Extended
Abstract/Poster Papers - the
number of pages include 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 the submission web site 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 the
followings:
- Title of the
paper
- Name,
affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author
(identify the
name of the Contact Author)
- Abstract
(between 100 and 120 words)
- A maximum of 5
topical keywords that would best represent the work
described in
the paper
- Write the type
of the submission as "Regular Research Paper",
"Short
Research Paper", or "Extended Abstract/Poster Paper".
- The actual
text of the paper can start from the first page (space
permitting).
Submissions are
to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site
portal.
Type of Submissions/Papers:
- Full/Regular
Research Papers (maximum of 7 pages):
Regular
Research Papers should provide detail original research
contributions.
They must report new research results that represent
a contribution
to the field; sufficient details and support for
the results and
conclusions should also be provided. The work
presented in
regular papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity
that with some
additional work can be published as journal papers.
- Short Research
Papers (maximum of 4 pages):
Short Research
Papers report on ongoing research projects. They
should provide
overall research methodologies with some results.
The work
presented in short papers are expected to be at a stage
of maturity
that with some additional work can be published as
regular papers.
- Extended
Abstract/Poster Papers (maximum of 2 pages):
Poster papers
report on ongoing research projects that are still in
their infancy
(i.e., at very early stages). Such papers tend to
provide
research methodologies without yet concrete results.
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 and approved for inclusion
into major
science citation index databases. In addition, all
proceedings are
approved for inclusion into EBSCO, one of the largest
subject index
systems. ACM Digital Library is also including the titles
into its
database as well as ProQuest indexing database and
others.
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 15 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, SCI
Compendex, Engineering Village, EMBASE, and others). For
a recent and
a very small subset of the books (and journal special
issues) that
have been published mostly based on the extended versions
of this
congress papers, see the link and titles below:

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).

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."
