WORLDCOMP is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer

science, computer engineering and applied computing. We anticipate

to have 2,000 or more attendees from over 85 countries participating

at the Congress. A number of individual research tracks of WORLDCOMP

have been held for many years; for example, PDPTA has been held

annually since 1995 (PDPTA'10 is the 16th annual conference); ERSA

has been held annually since 2001 (ERSA'10 is the 10th annual

conference); ICAI has been held annually since 1999 (ICAI'10 is the

12th annual conference); other tracks of WORLDCOMP Congress have

similar records.

The motivation behind this federated congress 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. Both inward research (core areas of

computer science and engineering) and outward research (multi-

disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered

during the joint conferences. WORLDCOMP provides 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.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS, PUBLICATION, INDEXING INFORMATION:

   Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading

   them to the evaluation web site at:

   http://worldcomp.cviog.uga.edu/

   Submissions must be uploaded by March 1, 2010 and they must be

   in either MS doc (but not docx) or pdf formats (about 5 to 7 pages

   - 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.)

   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, 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. Finally, the name of the

   conference/track (see the list above) that the paper is being

   submitted to must be stated on the first page.

                                                                        

   Full 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 one member 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 final papers will be reviewed by one     

   member of the program committee.                                     

                                                                        

   All accepted papers will be published in the respective conference   

   proceedings (in both, printed book form as well as online). The      

   proceedings will be indexed in Inspec / IET / The Institute for      

   Engineering and Technology, DBLP / Computer Science Bibliography,    

   and others. 36484) The printed proceedings will be available for     

   distribution on site at the conference.                              

   In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors

   will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for

   publication in a number of research books being proposed/contracted

   with various publishers (such as, Springer, Elsevier, IOS, ...) -

   these books would be composed after the conference. Also, many

   chairs of sessions and workshops will be forming journal special

   issues to be published after the conference.
