INVITATION & SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:
You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. All
accepted papers
will be published in printed conference books/proceedings
(each with a
unique international ISBN number) and will also be made
available online.
The proceedings will be indexed in science citation
databases that track
citation frequency/data. All proceedings are approved for
inclusion into
EBSCO, one of the largest subject index systems. ACM
Digital Library is
also including the titles into its database as well as
ProQuest indexing
databases and others.
In addition, like prior years, extended versions of
selected papers
(about 40%) will appear in journals and 15 edited
research books;
publishers include, Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others).
Each book in
each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer
science indexing
products (which includes: Scopus, SCI Compendex,
Engineering Village,
EMBASE, and others). See the web link below for a small
subset of such
publications: (some of these books and journal special
issues have
already received the top 25% downloads in their
respective fields and/or
identified as "Highly Accessed" by publishers
and/or science citation
index trackers.)
http://worldcomp.org/events/2016/worldcomp-books-journal-special-issues
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 the due date (see IMPORTANT DATES) and
must be in either
MS doc or pdf formats (7 pages for Regular Research
Papers; 4 pages for
Short Research Papers; 2 pages for Extended
Abstract/Poster Papers - the
number of pages include all figures, tables, and
references). 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; these
formatting
instructions appear at the submission web site and they
conform to the
two-column IEEE style format). Papers must not have been
previously
published or currently submitted for publication
elsewhere.
The first page of the paper should include the
followings:
- Title of the
paper
- Name,
affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author
(identify the
name of the Contact Author)
- Abstract
(between 100 and 120 words)
- A maximum of 5
topical keywords that would best represent the work
described in
the paper
- Write the type
of the submission as "Regular Research Paper",
"Short
Research Paper", or "Extended Abstract/Poster Paper".
- The actual
text of the paper can start from the first page (space
permitting).
Submissions are
to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site
portal.
Type of Submissions/Papers:
- Full/Regular
Research Papers (maximum of 7 pages):
Regular
Research Papers should provide detail original research
contributions.
They must report new research results that represent
a contribution
to the field; sufficient details and support for
the results and
conclusions should also be provided. The work
presented in
regular papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity
that with some additional work can be
published as journal papers.
- Short Research
Papers (maximum of 4 pages):
Short Research
Papers report on ongoing research projects. They
should provide
overall research methodologies with some results.
The work presented in short papers are
expected to be at a stage
of maturity
that with some additional work can be published as
regular papers.
- Extended
Abstract/Poster Papers (maximum of 2 pages):
Poster papers
report on ongoing research projects that are still in
their infancy
(i.e., at very early stages). Such papers tend to
provide
research methodologies without yet concrete results.
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.
(Essay/philosophical
papers will not be refereed but may be considered for
discussion/panels).

The Congress is composed of a number of tracks
(joint-conferences,

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."
MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of January 5, 2016, papers published in the conference
proceedings
that have been held as part of this congress, have
received 28,380
citations (includes 3,346 self-citations). Citation data
is obtained
from Microsoft Academic Search. The citation data does
not even
include more than 17,000 other citations to papers in
