Dear friends and Colleagues:

Please share the announcement below with individuals who may be interested. We anticipate having about 2,000 attendees from 88 countries. Kind regards, Steering Committee

======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS - Extended Deadline: May 25, 2012

The 2012 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing WORLDCOMP'12 July 16-19, 2012, Las Vegas, USA

http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/ =======================================================

INVITATION: You are invited to submit a full paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published in printed conference books/proceedings (ISBN) and will also be made available online. Abstract submissions (one/two-page) will be considered for poster presentations and one/two-page publication in the proceedings. The conference proceedings will be made available in printed book as well as online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each paper. The proceedings of the congress enjoys a high number of citations; about 26,000 citations have been made (so far) to papers published in the proceedings.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This announcement is ONLY for those who MISSED the opportunity to submit their papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers". Therefore, authors who have already submitted papers in response 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).

IMPORTANT DATES:

May 25, 2012: Submission of papers for evaluation June 6, 2012: Notification of acceptance/not-acceptance June 19, 2012: Registration July 16-19, 2012: All tracks of the federated World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (Las Vegas, USA)

July 30, 2012: Camera-Ready Papers Due for publication (papers submitted and accepted in response to this announcement will be published in the Final Edition of the proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference.)

SUBMISSION OF FULL PAPERS AND INDEXING INFORMATION:

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 May 25, 2012 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 that the paper is being submitted for consideration must be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract (for the list of joint conferences, see below). The length of the final/Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages.

Authors whose papers are ACCEPTED will be instructed to upload their papers to a particular web site for publication - the uploaded papers to the publication web site will only be checked for correct typesetting.

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 such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering& Technology; The French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings; this set of proceedings are selected to be among the 9% - 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 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 EI Compendex/Elsevier.

In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a number of research books contracted with various publishers. These books will be composed after the conference. Also, many chairs of tracks will be forming journal special issues to be published after the conference.

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.

Submission of Poster Papers:

Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only if the author of the accepted poster wishes to have his/her poster published as a 2-page extended abstract.)

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. 32229 The list of co-sponsors of 2012 meeting is Currently being prepared; for the 2011 list of sponsors, refer to: http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp11/ws
