IMPORTANT NOTE:

This announcement is ONLY for those who MISSED the opportunity to submit

their papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers". Therefore, authors

who have already submitted papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers"

should IGNORE this announcement. (Those who have been notified that their

papers have been accepted, MUST still follow the instructions that were

emailed to them; including meeting the deadlines mentioned in the

notifications that were sent to them).

INVITATION:

You are invited to submit a "Late Breaking Paper", "Position Paper", or

"Abstract/Poster Paper" for consideration. All accepted papers will be

published in printed conference books/proceedings (ISBN) and will also be

made available online. 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). 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

SUBMISSION OF LATE BREAKING PAPERS, POSITION PAPERS, ABSTRACTS/POSTERS:

In response to this announcement, authors are given the opportunity to submit

their papers for evaluation in one of the following three categories:

1. Late Breaking Papers: describe late-breaking/recent developments in

the field. The maximum number of pages is 7. Please write the following

on the first page of your submission "PDPTA: LATE BREAKING PAPER".

If accepted, The length of the final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited

to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages and the author will be given the

opportunity to present the paper in a formal session.

2. Position Papers: enable discussions on emerging topics without the

experimentation normally present in an academic paper. Commonly,

such papers will substantiate the opinions or positions put forward

with evidence from an extensive objective discussion of the topic.

The maximum number of pages is 4. Please write the following on the

first page of your submission "PDPTA: POSITION PAPER".

If accepted, The length of the final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited

to 4 (two-column IEEE style) pages and the author will be given the

opportunity to present the paper in a discussion/poster session.

3. Abstract/Poster Papers: describe research roadmaps (similar to PhD

plan or PhD prospectus). The maximum number of pages is 2. Please

write the following on the first page of your submission

"PDPTA: ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPER".

If accepted, The length of the final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited

to 2 (two-column IEEE style) pages and the author will be given the

opportunity to present the paper in a discussion/poster session.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers (see above for

paper categories) by uploading them to the evaluation web site at:

http://world-comp.org .

Submissions must be uploaded by June 2, 2013 and must be in either MS doc or

pdf formats. 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.

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: relevant Elsevier

indexing products (SCI Elsevier products include, among others: Scopus,

www.info.scopus.com; Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE,

www.info.embase.com; and others); 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, and STN International); and others.

Note that authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will

have their papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final

Edition of the conference proceedings which will go to press soon after the

conference (the conference would then make the necessary arrangements to ship

the printed proceedings/books to such authors). The Final Edition of the

conference proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a

number of sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book.

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, ...).

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.
