SUBMISSION OF FULL PAPERS AND INDEXING INFORMATION:
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 May 25, 2012 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 be
stated on the first page of the paper (ie, EEE) 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.
Authors whose papers are ACCEPTED will be instructed to
upload their papers to a particular web site for publication - the uploaded
papers to the publication web site will only be checked for correct
typesetting.
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 such as: Inspec / IET / The
Institute for Engineering & Technology; The French National Center for
Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific
literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are
proceedings; the set of proceedings that EEE is part of has been selected to be
among the 9% - accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID,
Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others.
Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will
also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, the
proceedings that EEE was part of were included in these databases. Therefore,
we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI
Compendex/Elsevier.
In addition to the publication of the proceedings,
selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers
for publication in a number of research books contracted with various
publishers. These books will be composed after the conference. Also, many
chairs of tracks will be forming journal special issues to be published after
the conference.
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. 4043
Submission of Poster Papers:
Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow
the same instructions that appear above. On the first page, the author should
state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster for EEE".
Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only if the author of the
accepted poster wishes to have his/her poster published as a 2-page extended
abstract.)
GENERAL INFORMATION:
EEE conference is being held jointly (same location and
dates) with a number of other federated research conferences (World Congress in
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing). This federated
congress is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science,
computer engineering and applied computing. The congress will be composed of
research presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials,
panel discussions, and poster presentations. In recent past,
keynote/tutorial/panel speakers have included: Prof. David A. Patterson
(pioneer, architecture, U. of California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric Drexler (known
as Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as Father of Genetic
Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as Father of Grid
Computing; U. of Chicago & ANL), Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (pioneer, VR, U. of California, Berkeley), Prof. Barry Vercoe
(Founding member of MIT Media Lab, MIT), Dr. Jim Gettys (known as X-man,
developer of X Window System, xhost; OLPC), Prof. John Koza (known as Father of
Genetic Programming, Stanford U.), Prof. Brian D. Athey (NIH Program Director,
U. of Michigan), Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna (pioneer, U. of Southern California),
Dr. Jose L. Munoz (NSF Program Director and Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu
(pioneer, Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard U.), Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh
(Father of Fuzzy Logic), Dr. Firouz Naderi (Head, NASA Mars Exploration
Program/2000-2005 and Associate Director, Project Formulation & Strategy,
Jet Propulsion Lab, CalTech/NASA; Director, NASA's JPL Solar System
Exploration), Prof. David Lorge Parnas (Fellow of IEEE, ACM, RSC, CAE, GI;
Dr.h.c.: ETH Zurich, Prof. Emeritus, McMaster U. and U. of Limerick), Prof.
Eugene H. Spafford (Executive Director, CERIAS and Professor, Purdue
University), Dr. Sandeep Chatterjee (Vice President & Chief Technology
Officer, SourceTrace Systems, Inc.), and many other distinguished speakers. To

atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606
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.

being prepared; for the 2011 list of sponsors, refer to:
