WORLDCOMP'08 is composed of a number of tracks (joint-conferences, tutorials, and workshops); all will be held simultaneously, same location and dates: July 14-17, 2008. See http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/ for the complete list of joint-conferences. This is a Call For Papers for publication in the Final Edition of the conference proceedings. All papers submitted in response to this announcement will be evaluated for publication in the Final Edition of the proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference (publication date: late August 2008). This announcement is ONLY for those who missed the opportunity to submit their papers in response to earlier announcements (authors who have already been notified that their papers have been accepted/not-accepted should ignore this announcement.) IMPORTANT DATES: June 1, 2008: Submission of full papers (less than 8 pages) June 14, 2008: Notification of acceptance June 27, 2008: Registration July 14-17, 2008: WORLDCOMP'08 Congress (all joint-conferences) July 20, 2008: Camera-Ready Papers Due for publication in the Final Edition of the proceedings. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to hra@cs.uga.edu (no more than 7 pages, single spaced and font size of 10 to 12 - all reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable).

Papers should be attached to emails and must be either in Word Doc or PDF formats. 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 include the name of the conference the paper is being submitted to (the list of conferences appears below.) Accepted papers will be published in the final edition of the respective proceedings/books. All submissions will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area. The authors of accepted papers will later be asked to follow a particular typing instructions to prepare their final paper for publication.
