++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This
announcement is ONLY for those who MISSED the opportunity to submit their
papers in
response to earlier "Call For Papers". Therefore, authors who have
already
submitted papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers" should
IGNORE this
announcement. (Those who have been notified that their papers have
been accepted,
MUST still follow the instructions that were emailed to them;
including
meeting the deadlines mentioned in the notifications that were sent
to them).
INVITATION:
You are invited
to submit a "Late Breaking Paper", "Position Paper", or
"Abstract/Poster
Paper" for consideration. All accepted papers will be published
in printed
conference books/proceedings (ISBN) and will also be made available
online. Like
prior years, extended versions of selected papers (about 35%) will
appear in
journals and edited research books (publishers include: Springer,
Elsevier, BMC,
and others). In addition to the above, we have arranged two new
book series; one
with Elsevier publishers (Emerging Trends in Computer Science
and Applied
Computing) and another with Springer publishers (Transactions of
Computational
Science and Computational Intelligence). After the conference, a
significant
number of authors of accepted papers of our congress, will be given
the opportunity
to submit the extended version of their papers for publication
consideration in
these books. Each book in each series will be subject to
Elsevier and
Springer science indexing products (which includes: Scopus,
Ei village, SCI,
...). See the following links for a small subset of the
publications
based on the Congress: (some of these books and special issues
have already
received the top 25% downloads in their respective fields - we
also have a
number of Elsevier and Springer books in the pipeline based on the
offerings of the
congress):
The Congress is
composed of a number of tracks (joint-conferences, tutorials,
sessions,
workshops, poster and panel discussions); all will be held
simultaneously,
same location and dates: July 21-24, 2014. For the complete
list of joint
conferences, see below. To get a feeling about the conferences'
atmosphere, see

SUBMISSION OF
LATE BREAKING PAPERS, POSITION PAPERS, ABSTRACTS/POSTERS:
In response to
this announcement, authors are given the opportunity to submit
their papers for
evaluation in one of the following three categories:
1. Late Breaking Papers: describe
late-breaking/recent developments in
the field. The maximum number of pages is
7. Please write the following
on the first page of your submission
"name of conference: LATE BREAKING
PAPER". If accepted, The length of
the final/Camera-Ready paper will be
limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style)
pages and the author will be given
the opportunity to present the paper in a
formal session.
2. Position Papers: enable discussions on
emerging topics without the
experimentation normally present in an
academic paper. Commonly,
such papers will substantiate the
opinions or positions put forward
with evidence from an extensive objective
discussion of the topic.
The maximum number of pages is 4. Please
write the following on the
first page of your submission "name
of conference: POSITION PAPER".
If accepted, The length of the
final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 4 (two-column IEEE style) pages and
the author will be given the
opportunity to present the paper in a
discussion/poster session.
3. Abstract/Poster Papers: describe research
roadmaps (similar to PhD
plan or PhD prospectus). The maximum
number of pages is 2. Please
write the following on the first page of
your submission "name of
conference: ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPER".
If accepted, The length of the
final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 2 (two-column IEEE style)
pages and the author will be given the
opportunity to present the paper
in a discussion/poster session.
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers (see above for paper
categories) by
uploading them to the evaluation web site at:
Submissions must
be uploaded by June 5, 2014 and must be in either MS doc or
pdf formats. 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.
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 would be
charged to make
the final decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve
seeking help
from additional referees. Papers whose authors include a member
of the
conference program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded
review process.
(Papers deemed to be philosophical, essay type, or about
controversial
topics/applications will not be refereed but may be considered
for
discussion/panels/presentation).
The proceedings
will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and
will also be
made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in
science citation
databases that track citation frequency/data for each
published paper.
Science citation databases include: Inspec / IET / The
Institute for
Engineering & Technology; The French National Center for
Scientific
Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (accessable from INIST,
Datastar,
Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, & STN International);
and others. The
proceedings/books of this congress have been evaluated for
inclusion into
major science citation index databases. We are happy to
report that so
far, the evaluation board of science citation index
databases have
approved the indexing, integrating, and inclusion of the
following
conference tracks into relevant indexing databases (indexing
databases
include, among others: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex,
BIOCOMP, DMIN,
GCA, ICAI, ICOMP, ICWN, IKE, IPCV, PDPTA, and SAM; please
see below for
the full name of each of these conferences.
Note that
authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will
have their
papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final Edition
of the
conference proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference
(the conference
would then make the necessary arrangements to ship the printed
proceedings/books
to such authors). The Final Edition of the conference
proceedings will
be identical to earlier edition except for a number of
sections/chapters
appended to the proceedings/book.

An important
mission of The Congress 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.
TUTORIALS:
All tutorials
are free to conference registrants, the list of tutorials
that have been
approved so far can be found at:
We plan to offer
more tutorials (in addition to what is already posted on
the web). As of
the writing of this announcement, the following tutorials
have been
approved and they will be presented by distinguished speakers:
O. Accreditation
Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)
accreditation of Computer Science Program
O. Natural
Language in Information Security and Privacy
O.

Data Analytics (3 proposals); Entrepreneurial Spirits;
Visualization
and Datamining; and Computational Biology.
