SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by
uploading them to the evaluation web site at:
http://world-comp.org .
Submissions must be uploaded by March 18, 2013 and must
be in either MS doc or pdf formats (about 7 pages including all figures,
tables, and references - single space, font size of 10 to 12). 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. The name of the conference (ie, PDPTA) must also be stated on the first
page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract. The length of the final/Camera-Ready
papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages.
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.
(Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may
be considered for discussion/panels).
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: 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. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be
included in SCI EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings; in the past, the proceedings
were included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the
proceedings for indexing procedures to SCI EI Compendex/Elsevier. The printed
proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference.
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
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, ...).
SUBMISSION OF POSTER PAPERS:

the 2012 delegates photos available at: http://infinitydempsey.smugmug.com/WorldComp
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.
MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of December 2012, papers published in the Congress
proceedings have received over 27,000 citations (includes about 2,000
self-citations).
