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/ )
