Paper Submission Deadline: February 20, 2007 url: http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp07 You are invited to submit a full paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'07) is composed of the following research and technical tracks (all will be held simultaneously, same location and dates: June 25-28, 2007, USA): o Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'07) o Grid Computing and Applications (GCA'07) o Computer Design (CDES'07) o Scientific Computing (CSC'07) o Artificial Intelligence (ICAI'07) o Genetic and Evolutionary Methods (GEM'07) o Machine Learning; Models, Technologies and Applications (MLMTA'07) o Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BIOCOMP'07) o Software Engineering Research and Practice (SERP'07) o Wireless Networks (ICWN'07) o Image Processing, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition (IPCV'07) o Modeling, Simulation and Visualization Methods (MSV'07) o Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality (CGVR'07) o Multimedia Systems and Applications (MSA'07) o Internet Computing (ICOMP'07) o Semantic Web and Web Services (SWWS'07) o Security and Management (SAM'07) o Data Mining (DMIN'07) o Information and Knowledge Engineering (IKE'07) o e-Learning, e-Business, Enterprise Information Systems, and e-Government (EEE'07) o Embedded Systems and Applications (ESA'07) o Frontiers in Education: Computer Science and Computer Engineering (FECS'07) o Foundations of Computer Science (FCS'07) o Engineering of Reconfigurable Systems and Algorithms (ERSA'07) o Communications in Computing (CIC'7) (a link to each of the above can be found at http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp07/ws ) Submission of Papers: Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2007 (hra@cs.uga.edu). E-mail submissions in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable (postal mail 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/track that the paper is being submitted to must be stated on the first page. 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 track 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.) Many members of the program committee for individual conferences include renowned leaders, scholars, researchers, scientists and practitioners of the highest ranks; many are directors of large research laboratories, IEEE Fellows, heads/chairs of departments, deans and provosts. Each committee also includes two Student Members (in their final stages of their PhD programs) who are identified as such. Refer to the conference web sites for the list of members of program committee. Co-Sponsors (a partial list): Academic Co-Sponsors of WORLDCOMP'07 include: - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Laboratory, MIT (Cambridge, Massachusetts) - Statistical Genomics and Computational Biology Laboratory, Department of Statistics, Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts) - Texas Advanced Computing Center, The University of Texas at Austin (Austin, Texas) - Statistical and Computational Intelligence Laboratory of Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana) - University of Iowa's Medical Imaging HPC Lab (Iowa City, Iowa) - Institute for Informatics Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia); Other Co-sponsors include: - HPCwire - GRIDtoday - STEM Education Society - HPCSoft, HPC Software Inc. - International Technology Institute - H2cM - Hodges' Health, UK 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 25 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective fields. We anticipate to have 2000 or more attendees from over 75 countries participating in the 2007 event. 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. Important Dates: Feb. 20, 2007: Submission of full papers (about 5 to 8 pages) March 20, 2007: Notification of acceptance April 20, 2007: Camera-Ready papers and Registration due June 25-28, 2007: The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'07)
