to earlier "Call For Papers"
should IGNORE this announcement. (Those who have been
notified that their papers have been accepted, MUST still follow the
instructions that were emailed to them; including meeting the deadlines
mentioned in the notifications that were sent to them).
INVITATION:
You are invited to submit a "Late Breaking
Paper", "Position Paper", or "Abstract/Poster Paper"
for consideration. All accepted papers will be published in printed conference
books/proceedings (ISBN) and will also be made available online. Like prior
years, extended versions of selected papers (about 35%) will appear in journals
and edited research books (publishers include: Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and
others). In addition to the above, we have arranged two new book series; one
with Elsevier publishers (Transactions on Computer Science and Applied

SUBMISSION OF LATE BREAKING PAPERS, POSITION PAPERS,
ABSTRACTS/POSTERS:
In response to this announcement, authors are given the
opportunity to submit their papers for evaluation in one of the following three
categories:
1. Late Breaking
Papers: describe late-breaking/recent developments in
the field.
The maximum number of pages is 7. Please write the following
on the first
page of your submission "PDPTA: LATE BREAKING PAPER".
If accepted,
The length of the final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 7
(two-column IEEE style) pages and the author will be given the
opportunity
to present the paper in a formal session.
2. Position
Papers: enable discussions on emerging topics without the
experimentation normally present in an
academic paper. Commonly,
such papers
will substantiate the opinions or positions put forward
with evidence
from an extensive objective discussion of the topic.
The maximum
number of pages is 4. Please write the following on the
first page of
your submission "PDPTA: POSITION PAPER".
If accepted,
The length of the final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 4
(two-column IEEE style) pages and the author will be given the
opportunity
to present the paper in a discussion/poster session.
3.
Abstract/Poster Papers: describe research roadmaps (similar to PhD
plan or PhD
prospectus). The maximum number of pages is 2. Please
write the
following on the first page of your submission
"PDPTA:
ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPER".
If accepted,
The length of the final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 2
(two-column IEEE style) pages and the author will be given the
opportunity
to present the paper in a discussion/poster session.
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers
(see above for paper categories) by uploading them to the evaluation web site
at:
Submissions must be uploaded by June 2, 2013 and must be
in either MS doc or pdf formats. All reasonable typesetting formats are
acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a
particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers for publication.)
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 identify the name of the Contact Author and a
maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the
paper.
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the
field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases
of contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program committee
would be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject); often, this would
involve seeking help from additional referees. Papers whose authors include a
member of the conference program committee will be evaluated using the
double-blinded review process. (Papers deemed to be philosophical, essay type,
or about controversial topics/applications will not be refereed but may be
considered for discussion/panels/presentation).
The proceedings will be published in printed conference
books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be
indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for
each published paper. Science citation databases include: relevant Elsevier
indexing products (SCI Elsevier products include, among others: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others); Inspec /
IET / The Institute for Engineering & Technology; The French National
Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (accessable from
INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN
International); and others.
Note that authors who submit papers in response to this
announcement, will have their papers evaluated for publication consideration in
the Final Edition of the conference proceedings which will go to press soon
after the conference (the conference would then make the necessary arrangements
to ship the printed proceedings/books to such authors). The Final Edition of
the conference proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a
number of sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book.
In addition to the above, we have arranged two new book
series; one with Elsevier publishers (Transactions on Computer Science and
Applied Computing) and another with Springer publishers (Transactions of
Computational Science and Computational Intelligence). After the conference, a
significant number of authors of accepted papers of our congress, will be given
the opportunity to submit the extended version of their papers for publication
consideration in these books. We anticipate having between 10 to 20 books a
year in each of these book series projects. Each book in each series will be
subject to Elsevier and Springer science indexing products (which includes:
Scopus, Ei village, SCI, ...).
GENERAL INFORMATION:
PDPTA is an international conference that serves
researchers, scholars, professionals, students, and academicians who are
looking to both foster working relationships and gain access to the latest
research results.
It is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a
number of other research conferences; namely, The 2013 World Congress in
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing. The Congress is
the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer
engineering and applied computing. We anticipate to have 2,100 or more
attendees from over 85 countries.
The 2013 Congress will be composed of research
presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel
discussions, and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel
speakers have included: Prof. David A. Patterson (pioneer, architecture, U. of
California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric Drexler (known as Father of Nanotechnology),
Prof. John H. Holland (known as Father of Genetic Algorithms; U. of Michigan),

An important mission of the Congress is "Providing a
unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars,
researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes
concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities
(such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and
research centers/labs) from all over the world. The Congress also attempts to
connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission
with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their
main mission. The Congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and
geography diversity objectives."
One main goal of the Congress is to assemble a spectrum
of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a
coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This
model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of
computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress
also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives;
ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across
sub-disciplines.
