Many prospective authors have commented that they have just returned
to work from their academic break (midterm and spring) and so
they wish to be allowed to submit their papers to the conference.
To accommodate for those who missed the original deadlines, we
have decided to extend the paper submission deadline to March 23, 2009.
Also, I would like to take this opportunity to inform our colleagues
in the Far East (a frequently asked question from China, Taiwan, Korea, ...)
that the conference proceedings will be indexed in Inspec / IET / The
Institute for Engineering and Technology, DBLP / CS Bibliography, and
others.
I would be most grateful if you would share this announcement with
those who may be interested. The paper submission deadline is
extended to March 23, 2009. Thank you.

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 23, 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.
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 23, 2009: Extended deadline for Submission of papers
(about 5 to 7 pages)
April 16, 2009: Notification of acceptance (those who have submitted
their papers in Feb. and early March, will receive
the status report by the end of March).
May 2, 2009: Camera-Ready papers and Registration due

PURPOSE / HISTORY:
ICAI'09 is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a
number of other research conferences (WORLDCOMP'09). WORLDCOMP
is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science,
computer engineering and applied computing.
The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
topics 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
facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world
in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and
applied computing. Both inward research and outward research will
be covered during ICAI'09.
ICAI'09 and 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.
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.
