GENERAL CHAIR/COORDINATOR:
H. R. Arabnia, PhD The University of Georgia Department of Computer Science 415 Graduate Studies Research Center Athens, Georgia 30602-7404, USA
Tel: (706) 542-3480 Fax: (706) 542-2966 E-mail: hra@cs.uga.edu
PURPOSE / HISTORY:
This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Many of the 28 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective fields.
The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the conferences.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2006. E-mail submissions in MS document or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal submissions are also fine.) All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for publication.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords. Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to must be mentioned on the first page.
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person.
MEMBERS OF PROGRAM and ORGANIZING COMMITTEES:
The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World Academy of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific computing; artificial intelligence; imaging science; databases; simulation; software engineering; embedded systems; internet and web technologies; communications; computer security; and bioinformatics.) The Program Committee for individual conferences is currently being formed. Those interested in joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia (hra@cs.uga.edu) the following information: Name, affiliation and position, complete mailing address, email address, tel/fax numbers, a short biography together with research interests and the name of the conference offering to help with.
LOCATION OF CONFERENCES:
The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools and kiddie pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ... Many of these attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for families and children. The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable. The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine dining and night clubs, free street shows, ...).
IMPORTANT DATES:
Feb. 20, 2006: Submission of papers (about 5 to 8 pages) March 20, 2006: Notification of acceptance April 20, 2006: Camera-Ready papers and Prereg. due June 26-29, 2006: The 2006 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'06 - 28 joint conferences)
