(including, NASA, ANL, LLNL, Sandia, ORNL, Lawrence Berkeley National

Lab, Los Alamos National Lab, National Cancer Institute, NIST,  ...),

and a number of Venture Capitalists as well as distinguished speakers

discussing Intellectual Property issues.

This announcement is ONLY for those who MISSED the opportunity to submit

their papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers". Therefore,

authors who have ALREADY submitted papers in response to earlier "Call

For Papers" should IGNORE this announcement. (Those who have been

notified that their papers have been accepted, MUST still follow the

instructions that were emailed to them; including meeting the deadlines

mentioned in the notifications that were sent to them).

You are invited to submit a "LATE BREAKING PAPER", "POSITION PAPER", or

"ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPER" for consideration. All accepted papers will be

published in printed conference books/proceedings (with unique

international ISBN number) and will also be made available online. In

addition, like prior years, extended versions of selected papers (about

40%) of the conference will appear in journals and edited research

books (publishers include: Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others); some

of these books and journal special issues have already received the top

25% most downloads in their respective fields. See the link below for

a very small subset of the books published mostly based on extended

versions of the accepted papers of this congress:

http://worldcomp.org/events/2016/worldcomp-books-journal-special-issues

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). The publications will be

indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data.

All publications 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.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:

In response to this announcement, authors are given the opportunity to

submit their papers for evaluation in one of the following three paper

categories:

   1. LATE BREAKING PAPERS: describe late-breaking/recent developments in

      the field. The maximum number of pages is 7. Please write the

      following on the first page of your submission "name of conference:

      LATE BREAKING PAPER". If accepted, The length of the final/Camera-

      Ready paper will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages and

      the author will be given the opportunity to present the paper in a

      formal session.

   2. POSITION PAPERS: enable discussions on emerging topics without the

      experimentation normally present in an academic paper. Commonly,

      such papers will substantiate the opinions or positions put forward

      with evidence from an extensive objective discussion of the topic.

      The maximum number of pages is 4. Please write the following on the

      first page of your submission "name of conference: POSITION PAPER".

      If accepted, The length of the final/Camera-Ready paper will be

      limited to 4 (two-column IEEE style) pages and the author will be

      given the opportunity to present the paper in a formal session.

   3. ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPERS: describe research roadmaps (similar to PhD

      plan or PhD prospectus). The maximum number of pages is 2. Please

      write the following on the first page of your submission "name of

      conference: ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPER". If accepted, The length of the

      final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited to 2 (two-column IEEE

      style) pages and the author will be given the opportunity to

      present the paper in a discussion/poster session.

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. 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). 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 and the category of the paper (see

above). A 100 to 150-word abstract should appear on the first page.

The actual text of the paper can start from the first page (space

permitting).

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).

IMPORTANT DATES:

June 10, 2016:     Submission of Late Breaking Papers (7 pages), Position

                   Papers (4 pages), Abstract/Poster Papers (2 pages) for

                   evaluation (the sooner, a submission is received, the

                   earlier, the notification will be sent out.)

INVITATION:

We anticipate having between 1,200 and 1,800 participants. Last year,

the Congress and its affiliated tracks had attracted speakers, authors,

and participants from over 178 different universities (including many

from the top 50 ranked institutions), major IT corporations (including,

Microsoft, Google, Apple, SAP, Facebook, Oracle, Amazon, Yahoo, Samsung,

IBM, Ebay, GE, Siemens, Philips, Ericsson, BAE Systems, Hitachi,

NTT, ...), major corporations (including, Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson,

JPMorgan Chase, Raytheon, PetroChina, GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC, Airbus,

Boeing, Hyundai, ...), government research agencies (NSF, NIH, DoE,

US Air Force, NSA National Security Agency, ...), US National Labs

(including, NASA, ANL, LLNL, Sandia, ORNL, Lawrence Berkeley National

Lab, Los Alamos National Lab, National Cancer Institute, NIST,  ...),

and a number of Venture Capitalists as well as distinguished speakers

discussing Intellectual Property issues.

This announcement is ONLY for those who MISSED the opportunity to submit

their papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers". Therefore,

authors who have ALREADY submitted papers in response to earlier "Call

For Papers" should IGNORE this announcement. (Those who have been

notified that their papers have been accepted, MUST still follow the

instructions that were emailed to them; including meeting the deadlines

mentioned in the notifications that were sent to them).

You are invited to submit a "LATE BREAKING PAPER", "POSITION PAPER", or

"ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPER" for consideration. All accepted papers will be

published in printed conference books/proceedings (with unique

international ISBN number) and will also be made available online. In

addition, like prior years, extended versions of selected papers (about

40%) of the conference will appear in journals and edited research

books (publishers include: Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others); some

of these books and journal special issues have already received the top

25% most downloads in their respective fields. See the link below for

a very small subset of the books published mostly based on extended

versions of the accepted papers of this congress:

http://worldcomp.org/events/2016/worldcomp-books-journal-special-issues

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). The publications will be

indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data.

All publications 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.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:

In response to this announcement, authors are given the opportunity to

submit their papers for evaluation in one of the following three paper

categories:

   1. LATE BREAKING PAPERS: describe late-breaking/recent developments in

      the field. The maximum number of pages is 7. Please write the

      following on the first page of your submission "name of conference:

      LATE BREAKING PAPER". If accepted, The length of the final/Camera-

      Ready paper will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages and

      the author will be given the opportunity to present the paper in a

      formal session.

   2. POSITION PAPERS: enable discussions on emerging topics without the

      experimentation normally present in an academic paper. Commonly,

      such papers will substantiate the opinions or positions put forward

      with evidence from an extensive objective discussion of the topic.

      The maximum number of pages is 4. Please write the following on the

      first page of your submission "name of conference: POSITION PAPER".

      If accepted, The length of the final/Camera-Ready paper will be

      limited to 4 (two-column IEEE style) pages and the author will be

      given the opportunity to present the paper in a formal session.

   3. ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPERS: describe research roadmaps (similar to PhD

      plan or PhD prospectus). The maximum number of pages is 2. Please

      write the following on the first page of your submission "name of

      conference: ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPER". If accepted, The length of the

      final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited to 2 (two-column IEEE

      style) pages and the author will be given the opportunity to

      present the paper in a discussion/poster session.

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. 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). 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 and the category of the paper (see

above). A 100 to 150-word abstract should appear on the first page.

The actual text of the paper can start from the first page (space

permitting).

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).

IMPORTANT DATES:

May 17, 2016:      Submission of Late Breaking Papers (7 pages), Position

                   Papers (4 pages), Abstract/Poster Papers (2 pages) for

                   evaluation (the sooner, a submission is received, the

                   earlier, the notification will be sent out.)

                   Submission web site: http://world-comp.org

June 2, 2016:      Notification of acceptance (+/- two days)

                   will go to press soon after the conference; they will also

                   be indexed in science citation index databases. The Final

                   Edition of the proceedings will be identical to the

                   Preliminary Edition except for the addition of the

                   accepted LATE BREAKING PAPERS, POSITION PAPERS,
