SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers by 
uploading them to http://worldcomp.cviog.uga.edu/ . Submissions must be 
received by March 11, 2009 and they must be in either MS doc or pdf 
formats (about 5 to 7 pages - 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 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, 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.  Finally, 
the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to must be 
stated on the first page.

Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, impact, 
and soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by two experts in the field 
who are independent of the conference program committee. The referees' 
evaluations will then be reviewed by two members of the program 
committee who will recommend a decision to the chair of the track that 
the paper has been submitted to.  The chair will make the final 
decision.  Lastly, the Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one 
member of the program committee.


IMPORTANT DATES:

March 11, 2009:    Extended deadline for Submission of papers (about 5 
to 7 pages)
April 9, 2009:     Notification of acceptance
May 1, 2009:       Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
July 13-16, 2009:  The 2009 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer 
Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'09 - 22 joint conferences)

TUTORIALS:

12 to 15 tutorials are currently being planned - all tutorials are free 
to conference registrants.  Tutorial subjects include: various aspects 
of supercomputing (parallel and distributed systems and processing), 
visualization, preparation for teaching online courses, various areas of 
security, sensor networks, bioinformatics for computer scientists, web 
services for mobile and wireless systems, ABET accreditation as it 
relates to computing, inverse problems in computer vision, data mining, ...

PURPOSE / HISTORY:

This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering of 
researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied 
computing.  Many of the joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the premier 
conferences for presentation of advances in their respective fields.  We 
anticipate to have 2,400 or more attendees from over 85 countries 
participating in the 2009 joint conferences.

WORLDCOMP'09 will be composed of research presentations, keynote 
lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and 
poster presentations.  In recent past, keynote and/or tutorial speakers 
included: Prof. David A. Patterson (U. of California, Berkeley); Prof. 
Michael J. Flynn (Stanford U.); Prof. John H. Holland (U. of Michigan, 
Ann Arbor); Prof. H. J. Siegel (Colorado State U.); Prof. Barry Vercoe 
(MIT); Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (U. of California, Berkeley); Prof. Jun Liu 
(Harvard U.); Dr. Jim Gettys (OLPC + developer of X Window); and many 
other distinguished speakers.  For this year's conference, the keynote 
speakers include: Prof. Ian Foster (Father of Grid Computing), Dr. Eric 
Drexler (Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. Brian Athey (Head, NIH 
National Center for Computational Medicine & Biology), Dr. Jose Munoz 
(Deputy Director, National Science Foundation Office of 
Cyberinfrastructure), and many other distinguished speakers.

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 from all over the world 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.

LOCATION OF CONFERENCES:

The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo hotel, Las Vegas, 
Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels).  This is a 
mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. 
It 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, sunning decks, Easy River, wave pool, lighted 
tennis courts, health spa, nightly shows, a number of restaurants, ... 
The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable. 
The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions 
(recreational destinations, Golf courses, ...)
