D. Financial Assistantship for full-Time Students:

   The congress has finalized the financial assistantship decisions for students

   who are affiliated with non-USA institutions (decisions were communicated

   with the awardees in March and April 2013). Unfortunately, a few of our awardees

   are not able to secure USA visa in a timely manner to attend the meeting. The

   congress is now providing the released funds to full-time graduate students who

   are enrolled in USA institutions. This financial assistantship is for

   attendance only (ie, excludes speakers and authors of papers). Sponsored

   students will receive the complete conference package (printed books/proceedings,

   DVD, dinner reception, 4 breakfasts, 12 refreshments, access to all tracks and

   tutorials, ...), registration fee waiver, possibly with partial help with hotel

   accommodation, and/or possibly some help with airfare. In order to apply, send

   the following information for consideration to sc@world-comp.org as soon as

   possible (include as attachments in pdf only): a 2-page CV; a letter from your

   major professor or Department Head/Chair stating that you are a full-time

   graduate student in good standing; and a break-down of your itemized costs

   (airfare, hotel, ...). Please also provide any matching fund you may be able

   to secure. In the Subject Header of your email write "student sponsorship".

   Award decisions will be finalized within 48 hours of receipt of the requested

   information.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them to the evaluation web site at:

http://world-comp.org/elsevier-morgan-kaufman-ICT/

Submissions must be uploaded by June 16, 2013 and must be in either MS doc or pdf formats. All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable: 11 to 12 as font size, single line spacing (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular elsevier 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 first page should also include an abstract of about 100 to 150 words. Each submission is anticipated to be about 10 pages long (including: references, figures, tables, ...).

Each paper will be peer-reviewed by the editorial board for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. Chief Editors will be advised and supported by an International Editorial Advisory Board consisting of leading specialized experts from the academia and industry.

The book will be published by Elsevier (Morgan Kaufmann) and so all accepted papers will be subject to relevant Elsevier Indexing (Elsevier indexing includes: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex, Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others).
