SUBMISSION OF
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
12, 2012 and they 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. 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 will be charged to make the final decision
(accept/reject);
often, this would involve seeking help from additional
referees by using a
double-blinded review process. In addition, all 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).
All
proceedings of WORLDCOMP will be published and indexed in: Inspec / IET
/
The Institute for Engineering & Technology, DBLP / CS Bibliography,
& others.

An important mission of
WORLDCOMP 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 WORLDCOMP:

As of November 23, 2011, papers published in WORLDCOMP set
of proceedings
have received 15,860 citations. In recent months (March to
November 2011),
there had been 1,475 citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 164
citations per
month). The above record is significant (thanks to the
authors). As the
result of high impact (based on citations) of WORLDCOMP
papers, "Microsoft
Academic Search" has listed each individual track of the
congress among its
compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation record of
WORLDCOMP set of
proceedings is in fact higher than the citation data of many
reputable
journals in computer science and computer engineering. (The above
citation
data does not include citations to WORLDCOMP papers published in
2011; thus,
it is highly probable that the actual number of citations is
higher;
citation data was obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ )
