WORLDCOMP'07 is composed of a number of tracks (joint-conferences, tutorials, and workshops); all will be held simultaneously, same location and dates: June 25-28, 2007. See below 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. 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: Please note that these new deadlines (shown below) are not reflected on the main conference web sites (this allows us to limit the number of submissions.)
