You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. All
accepted papers
will be published in printed conference books/proceedings
(ISBN) and will
also be made available online. The proceedings will be
indexed in science
citation databases that track citation frequency/data. In
addition, 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). See the web link below for a
small subset of
such publications (some of these books and special issues
have received
the top 25% downloads in their respective fields - we
already have a
number of Elsevier and Springer books in the pipeline.)

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 27-30,
2015. For the complete
list of joint conferences, see below.
IMPORTANT DATES:
January 30, 2015:
Workshop / Session Proposals
March 31, 2015:
Submission of full papers (about 7 pages)
April 24, 2015:
Notification of acceptance (+/- two days)
May 15, 2015:
Final papers + Copyright + Registration
July 27-30, 2015:
The 2015 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, and Applied Computing
(including all affiliated federated conferences).
SUBMISSION OF DRAFT PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:
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 (about 7 pages including 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: http://world-comp.org
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: title of the paper,
name, affiliation,
postal address, and email address for each author as well
as a maximum
of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the
content of the paper.
The first page should also identify the name of the
Contact/Corresponding
author together with his/her professional email address.
A 100 to
150-word abstract should appear on the first page.
Authors are to
conform to the common CODE OF ETHICS FOR AUTHORS (The
document for the
Code of Ethics is available on the submission web site.)
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 proceedings will be published in printed conference
books (ISBN) and
will also be made available online. The printed
proceedings/books will
be available for distribution on site at the conference.
The proceedings
will be indexed in science citation databases that track
citation
frequency/data for each published paper. 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, Engineering Village, EMBASE, and others):
BIOCOMP, DMIN, GCA,
ICAI, ICOMP, ICWN, IKE, IPCV, PDPTA, and SAM. All proceedings are also
approved for inclusion into EBSCO (www.ebsco.com), one of
the largest
subject index systems.
In addition to the above, we have arranged two new book
series (multiple
books in each 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 (the process may take 12 to 18
months), 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. We anticipate having
between 10 and 20 books
a year in each of these book series projects. Each book
in each series
will be subject to Elsevier and Springer science indexing
products (which
includes: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex,
Engineering Village,
www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others). For
a recent and a
very small subset of the books (and journal special
issues) that have
been published based on the extended versions of many of
our congress
papers, see the link below:
http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp15/ws/books_journals
SUBMISSION OF POSTER PAPERS:
Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow
the same
instructions that appear above (see, SUBMISSION OF DRAFT
PAPERS FOR
EVALUATION) except that the submission is limited to 2
pages. On the
first page, the author should state that "This paper
is being
submitted as a poster". Poster papers (if accepted)
will be published
as such, if and only if the author of the accepted poster
wishes to
do so.
PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS:
Each conference (see below for the list) is composed of a
number of tracks.
A track can be a session, a workshop, or a symposium. A
session will have
at least 6 papers; a workshop at least 12 papers; and a
symposium at least
18 papers. Track chairs will be responsible for all
aspects of their tracks,
including: soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, ...
The names of track
chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference
proceedings and
on the cover of the printed books (and indexed in science
databases as such).
Track chairs who attract a sufficient number of solid
papers can propose
to edit books with a major publisher based on the
extended versions of the
papers accepted in their tracks (the congress will
facilitate and help such
track chairs to get the publisher's approval).
Proposals to organize tracks (sessions, workshops, or
symposiums) should
include the following information: name and address (+
email) of proposer,
his/her biography, title of track, a 100-word description
of the topic of
the track, the name of the conference the track is
submitted for
consideration (i.e., PDPTA, IPCV, ...), and a short
description on how
the track will be advertised (in most cases, track
proposers solicit papers
from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to
the track proposer).
E-mail your track proposal to editor@world-comp.org . We
would like to
receive the track proposals as soon as possible (see
IMPORTANT DATES).

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;
i.e., facilitating increased opportunities for
cross-fertilization across
sub-disciplines.
MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of December 8, 2014, papers published in the
conference proceedings
that have been held as part of this congress, have
received over
27,878 citations (includes 3,346 self-citations).
Citation data is
obtained from Microsoft Academic Search. The citation
data does not
even include more than 15,000 other citations to papers
in conferences
whose first offerings were initiated by worldcomp.
Individual proceedings/
books (2013 & 2014) of the federated congress can be
