Purpose / History:

This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering
of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and
applied computing. Many of the 24 joint conferences in
WORLDCOMP are the premier conferences for presentation of
advances in their respective fields. We anticipate to have
2000 or more attendees from over 75 countries participating in
the 2007 joint conferences.

The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
conferences 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 to form these annual conferences
facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world
in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and
applied computing. Both inward research (core areas of computer
science and engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary,
inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the
conferences.

Proposal for Organizing Sessions/Workshops:

Each session will have at least 6 paper presentations from
different authors (12 papers in the case of workshops).
The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of
their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing,
selecting, ... The names of session chairs will appear as
Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and on the
cover of the books.

Proposals to organize sessions should include the following
information: name and address (+ email) of proposer, title of
session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session,
the name of the conference the session is submitted for
consideration, and a short description on how the session will
be advertised (in most cases, session proposers solicit papers
from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the
session proposer). E-mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia
(address is given above). We would like to receive the
proposals by December 1, 2006.

Submission of Papers:

Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper
(about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2007. E-mail submissions in MS
document or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal
submissions are also fine.) 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, email
address, and telephone number for each author. The first page
should also identify the name of the author who will be presenting
the paper (if accepted) 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 of the track that the paper has been
submitted to. The chair will make the final decision. Lastly, the
Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one member of the program
committee.

Members of Program and Organizing Committees:

The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World
Academy of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific
computing; artificial intelligence; imaging science; databases;
simulation; software engineering; embedded systems; internet
and web technologies; communications; computer security; and
bioinformatics.) The Program Committee for individual
conferences is currently being formed. Those interested in
joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia
) the following information: Name, affiliation
and position, complete mailing address, email address, tel/fax
numbers, a short biography together with research interests and
the name of the conference offering to help with.

Location of Conferences:

The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel,
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by
hotels). The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent
conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is
minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and
from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions,
including: waterfalls, spa, pools and kiddie pools, sunning
decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted
tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool,
sauna, ...), arcade game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a
number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ... Many of these
attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for
families and children. The negotiated room rate for conference
attendees is very reasonable. The hotel is within walking
distance from most other attractions (major shopping areas,
recreational destinations, fine dining and night clubs, free
street shows, Golf courses...).
