(EDT)
The 2016 World Congress in Computer
Science,
Computer Engineering, and Applied
Computing
July 25-28, 2016, Monte Carlo Resort,
Las Vegas, USA
INVITATION:
We anticipate
having between 1,200 and 1,800 participants. Last year,
the Congress and
its affiliated tracks had attracted speakers, authors,
and participants
from over 178 different universities (including many
from the top 50
ranked institutions), major IT corporations (including,
Microsoft,
Google, Apple, SAP, Facebook, Oracle, Amazon, Yahoo, Samsung,
IBM, Ebay, GE,
Siemens, Philips, Ericsson, BAE Systems, Hitachi,
NTT, ...), major
corporations (including, Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson,
JPMorgan Chase,
Raytheon, PetroChina, GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC, Airbus,
Boeing, Hyundai,
...), government research agencies (NSF, NIH, DoE,
US Air Force,
NSA National Security Agency, ...), US National Labs
(including,
NASA, ANL, LLNL, Sandia, ORNL, Lawrence Berkeley National
Lab, Los Alamos
National Lab, National Cancer Institute, NIST,
...),
and a number of
Venture Capitalists as well as distinguished speakers
discussing
Intellectual Property issues.
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).
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 (with unique
international
ISBN number) and will also be made available online. In
addition, like
prior years, extended versions of selected papers (about
40%) of the
conference will appear in journals and edited research
books
(publishers include: Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others); some
of these books
and journal special issues have already received the top
25% most
downloads in their respective fields. See the link below for
a very small
subset of the books published mostly based on extended
versions of the
accepted papers of this congress:
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). The publications will be
indexed in
science citation databases that track citation frequency/data.
All publications
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 databases
and others.
SUBMISSION OF
PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:
In response to
this announcement, authors are given the opportunity to
submit their
papers for evaluation in one of the following three paper
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 "name of conference:
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 "name
of conference: 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 formal 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 "name of
conference: 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 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. 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:
http://world-comp.org and
they conform to the two-column IEEE style
format). The
first page of the paper should include:
title of the
paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email
address for each
author as well as a maximum of 5 topical keywords that
would best
represent the content of the paper. The first page should also
identify the
name of the Contact/Corresponding author together with
his/her
professional email address and the category of the paper (see
above). A 100 to
150-word abstract should appear on the first page.
The actual text
of the paper can start from the first page (space
permitting).
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).
IMPORTANT DATES:
June 10, 2016: Submission of Late Breaking Papers (7
pages), Position
Papers (4 pages),
Abstract/Poster Papers (2 pages) for
evaluation (the sooner, a
submission is received, the
earlier, the notification
will be sent out.)
Submission web site: http://world-comp.org
June 20,
2016: Notifications will be sent to
the authors typically 10
days after the submission
date but by no later than June 20.
July 5,
2016: Registration due
July 25-28,
2016: The 2016 World Congress in
Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, and Applied
Computing (including all
affiliated federated
conferences).
August 20,
2016: Final (Camera-Ready) Late
Breaking Papers, Position Papers,
Abstracts/Posters due for
publication. Papers submitted
and accepted in response to
this announcement will be
published in the Final
Edition of the proceedings which
will go to press soon after
the conference; they will also
be indexed in science
citation index databases. The Final
Edition of the proceedings
will be identical to the
Preliminary Edition except
for the addition of the
accepted LATE BREAKING
PAPERS, POSITION PAPERS,
ABSTRACTS/POSTERS at the end
of the books. The conference
