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 24 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the
premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective
fields. Most of these conferences have been evaluated and determined
to be top tier research conferences
(see http://www.cs-conference-ranking.org/index.html for an example).
We anticipate to have 2000 or more attendees from over 75 countries
participating in the 2007 joint conferences.

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 from all over the world 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.

Proposal for Organizing Sessions/Workshops:

Each session will have at least 6 paper presentations from different
authors (12 papers in the case of workshops). The session chairs
will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions; including,
soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, ... The names of session
chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference proceedings
and on the cover of the books.

Proposals to organize sessions should include the following information:
name and address (+ email) of proposer, title of session, a 100-word
description of the topic of the session, the name of the conference the
session is submitted for consideration, and a short description on how
the session will be advertised (in most cases, session proposers solicit
papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the
session proposer). E-mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia (address is
given above). We would like to receive the proposals by December 29, 2006.

Submission of Papers:

Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft/full paper
(about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2007. 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, email address, and telephone number for each author.
The first page should also identify the name of the author who will
be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 topical
keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. Finally,
the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to must be
stated on the first page.

Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, impact,
and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two experts in the field
who are independent of the conference program committee. The referees'
evaluations will then be reviewed by two members of the program
committee who will recommend a decision to the chair of the track that
the paper has been submitted to. The chair will make the final decision.
Lastly, the Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one member of the
program committee.

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 compiled. Those
interested in joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia
(hra at 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, sunning
decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool, lighted tennis courts,
health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...),
nightly shows, snack bars, many 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, night clubs, free
street shows, Golf courses, ...).
