PURPOSE / HISTORY:
SERP'06 is an international conference held simultaneously
   (ie, same location and dates) with a number of other
   joint conferences as part of WORLDCOMP'06 (The 2006 World
   Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and
   Applied Computing).  WORLDCOMP'06 is the largest annual
   gathering of researchers in computer science, computer
   engineering and applied computing.  Each of the joint
   conferences in WORLDCOMP is the premier conference for
   presentation of advances in their respective fields.
   WORLDCOMP'06 is composed of the following international
   conferences: Parallel & Distributed Processing Techniques &
   Applications; Scientific Computing; Grid Computing &
   Applications; Security & Management; Artificial Intelligence;
   Machine Learning; Software Engineering Research & Practice;
   Programming Languages & Compilers; Internet Computing; Semantic
   Web & Web Services; Computer Design; Real-Time Computing
   Systems & Applications; Embedded Systems & Applications; Wireless
   Networks; Pervasive Systems & Computing; Image Processing,
   Computer Vision, & Pattern Recognition; Computer Graphics &
   Virtual Reality; Modeling, Simulation & Visualization Methods;
   Computer Games Development; Frontiers in Education in Computer
   Science & Engineering; Foundations of Computer Science; 
   e-Learning, e-Business, Enterprise Information Systems,
   e-Government, & Outsourcing; Data Mining; Information &
   Knowledge Engineering; Bioinformatics & Computational Biology;
   Computing in Nanotechnology; Engineering of Reconfigurable
   Systems & Algorithms; Communications in Computing.
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 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.
PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:
Each technical session will have at least 6 paper
   presentations (from different authors).  The session
   chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their
   sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing,
   selecting, ...  The names of session chairs will appear
   as Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and
   on the cover of the books.
Proposals to organize technical sessions should include
   the following information: name and address (+ E-mail)
   of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of
   the topic of the session, the name of the conference the
   session is submitted for consideration, and a short
   description on how the session will be advertised (in
   most cases, session proposers solicit papers from
   colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the
   session proposer).  Mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia
   (address is given above); E-mail submissions are preferred.
   We would like to receive the proposals by December 29, 2005.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft
   paper (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10
   to 12) to H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2006. E-mail submissions
   in MS document or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal
   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, E-mail address, telephone number, &
   Fax number for each author.  The first page should also
   include the name of the author who will be presenting
   the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords.
   Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being
   submitted to must be mentioned on the first page.
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance,
   clarity, and soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by
   two researchers in the topical area.  The Camera-Ready
   papers will be reviewed by one person.
MEMBERS OF PROGRAM & 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;
