The 2006 International Conference on Internet Computing (ICOMP'06)

June 26-29, 2006 Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

The 2006 International Conference on Internet Computing (ICOMP'06) will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 26-29, 2006.

The ICOMP'06 Conference will be held simultaneously (ie, same location and dates) with a number of other international conferences and workshops (for the complete list of joint conferences refer to: http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/)

The last set of conferences (ICOMP and affiliated events) had research contributions from 76 countries and had attracted over 1,500 participants. It is anticipated to have over 2,000 participants for the 2006 event.

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. The names of chairs of sessions/workshops will appear as Associate Editors on the cover of the conference proceedings/book.

SCOPE: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

O Internet security & trust O Internet applications and appliances O Performance evaluation of the internet O Resource management and location O Design and analysis of internet protocols and engineering O Web based computing O Web mining O Network management O Network architectures O Network computing O Network operating systems O Quality of service O Wide area consistency O Electronic commerce and internet O The WWW and intranets O Internetworking O Metacomputing O Denial of service issues O Grid based computing and internet tools O Languages for distributed programming O Cooperative applications O Tele-medical and other applications O Internet telephony O Next generation of internet + modeling and analysis O Mobile computing O Agents for internet computing O Educational applications O Digital libraries/digital image collections O Internet and emerging technologies O Internet law and compliance O Internet based decision support systems O Internet and video technologies O Internet and enterprise management O Web interfaces to databases O Internet and scalability issues O User-interface/multimedia/video/audio/user interaction O Markup Languages/HTML/XML/VRML O Java applications on internet O Alternative web lifestyles, role-playing, chat, ... O Caching algorithms for the internet O Traffic models & statistics O Server space/web server performance O Web monitoring O Web documents management O Web site design and coordination O Internet banking systems O Other aspects & applications relating to internet-based computing

GENERAL CHAIR AND COORDINATOR:

H. R. Arabnia, PhD The University of Georgia Department of Computer Science 415 Graduate Studies Research Center Athens, Georgia 30602-7404, USA

PURPOSE / HISTORY:

ICOMP'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; communications; computer security; and bioinformatics.) The Program Committee for individual conferences is currently being formed. Those interested in joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia (hra@cs.uga.edu) the following information: Name, affiliation and position, complete mailing address, email address, tel/fax numbers, a short biography together with research interests and the name of the conference offering to help with.

LOCATION OF CONFERENCES:

The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools & kiddie pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ... Many of these attractions are open 24 hours a day & most are suitable for families & children. The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable. The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine dining & night clubs, free street shows, ...).
