IMPORTANT DATES: March 15, 2014: Submission of full papers (about 7 pages) April 15, 2014: Notification of acceptance (+/- two days) May 3, 2014: Final papers + Copyright + Registration July 21-24, 2014: The 2014 International Conference on Internet Computing and Big Data (ICOMP14) SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS: Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them to the evaluation web site at: world-comp.org . Submissions must be uploaded by March 15, 2014 and must be in either MS doc or pdf formats (about 7 pages including all figures, tables, and references - 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 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. The name of the conference that the paper is being submitted for consideration (i.e., ICOMP) must also be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract. The length of the final/Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. 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 ICOMP14 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. 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 ICOMP for prior years have been evaluated for inclusion into major science citation index databases. We are happy to report that the evaluation board of science citation index databases have approved the indexing, integrating, and inclusion of ICOMP proceedings into relevant indexing databases (indexing databases include, among others: Scopus, info.scopus; SCI Compendex, Engineering Village, ei.org; and others). 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 whole process takes 12 months), a significant number of authors of accepted papers of ICOMP, will be given the opportunity to submit the extended version of their papers for publication consideration in these books. We anticipate having between 10 to 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, info.scopus; SCI Compendex, Engineering Village, ei.org; EMBASE, info.embase; and others).

To get a feeling about the conferences atmosphere, see some delegates photos available at: infinitydempsey.smugmug/WorldComp worldcomp.phanfare/ 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. 256853 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS: As of December 14, 2013, papers published in the conference proceedings that have been held as part of the joint Congress, have received over 27,500 citations (includes about 3,300 self-citations). Citation data obtained from academic.research.microsoft/ . The citation data does not even include more than 15,000 other citations to papers in tracks whose first offerings were initiated by this joint congress.
