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 "EEE: 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 "EEE: 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
"EEE:
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:
Submissions must be uploaded by June 4, 2014 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 EEE'14 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, many of the
proceedings of the federated congress that EEE is part of
were included in
these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the
proceedings for
indexing procedures to SCI EI Compendex/Elsevier.
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.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
EEE is an international conference that serves
researchers, scholars,
professionals, students, and academicians who are looking

working relationships and gain access to the latest
research results. It is
being held jointly (same location and dates) with a
number of other research
conferences; namely, The 2014 World Congress in Computer
Science, Computer
Engineering, and Applied Computing. The Congress is among
the top five largest
annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer
engineering and
applied computing. We anticipate to have attendees from
about 85

conferences' atmosphere, see some 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.
