SUBMISSION OF 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 12, 2012 and they 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 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 will be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject);

often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees by using a

double-blinded review process. In addition, all 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). All

proceedings of WORLDCOMP will be published and indexed in: Inspec / IET /

The Institute for Engineering & Technology, DBLP / CS Bibliography, & others.

An important mission of WORLDCOMP 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 WORLDCOMP:

As of November 23, 2011, papers published in WORLDCOMP set of proceedings

have received 15,860 citations. In recent months (March to November 2011),

there had been 1,475 citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 164 citations per

month). The above record is significant (thanks to the authors). As the

result of high impact (based on citations) of WORLDCOMP papers, "Microsoft

Academic Search" has listed each individual track of the congress among its

compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation record of WORLDCOMP set of

proceedings is in fact higher than the citation data of many reputable

journals in computer science and computer engineering. (The above citation

data does not include citations to WORLDCOMP papers published in 2011; thus,

it is highly probable that the actual number of citations is higher;

citation data was obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ )
