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 WORLDCOMP Congress. A number of individual research tracks of the Congress 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); SERP has been held annually since 2002 (SERP'10 is the 9th 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. The model used to form SERP facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. Both inward research (core areas) and outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter- disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the conference. SERP 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. SERP'10 will be composed of research presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel speakers have included (as part of the federated event): Prof. David A. Patterson (pioneer/computer architecture, U. of California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric Drexler (known as Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as Father of Genetic Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as Father of Grid Computing; U. of Chicago & ANL), Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (pioneer/VR, U. of California, Berkeley), Prof. Barry Vercoe (Founding member of MIT Media Lab, MIT), Dr. Jim Gettys (known as X-man, developer of X Window System, xhost; OLPC), Prof. John Koza (known as Father of Genetic Programming, Stanford U.), Prof. Brian D. Athey (NIH Program Director, U. of Michigan), Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna (pioneer, U. of Southern California), Dr. Jose L. Munoz (NSF Program Director and Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu (Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard U.), Anousheh Ansari (CEO, Prodea Systems & first female private space explorer), and many other distinguished speakers. To get a feeling about the events' atmosphere, see the 2009 delegates photos available at: http://www.pixagogo.com/1672514104 2008 delegates photos can be viewed at: http://www.pixagogo.com/8658134154 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 21, 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 (ie. SERP) 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.) 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. IMPORTANT DATES: March 21, 2010: Submission of papers (about 5 to 7 pages) April 10, 2010: Notification of acceptance (+/- two days) May 1, 2010: Final papers + Copyright + Registration July 12-15, 2010: The 2010 International Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice (SERP'10) URL: http://www.world-academy-of-science.org MEMBERS OF PROGRAM AND ORGANIZING COMMITTEES: The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World Academy of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific computing; AI; imaging science; databases; simulation; software eng.; embedded systems; internet & web technologies; communications; computer security; & bioinformatics.) The Program Committee for SERP'10 conference is currently being formed. Many who have already joined the committees of individual tracks are renowned leaders, scholars, researchers, scientists and practitioners of the highest ranks; many are directors of research labs., fellows of various societies, heads/chairs of departments, program directors of research funding agencies, deans and provosts. You can view the list of program committee of the last two offerings of SERP at: http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp08/ws/conferences/serp08/committee http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp09/ws/conferences/serp09/committee Program Committee members are expected to have established a strong and documented research track record. Those interested in joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia (h...@cs.uga.edu) the following information for consideration/evaluation: Name, affiliation and position, complete mailing address, email address, a one-page biography that includes research expertise and the name of the conference offering to help with (ie, SERP). LOCATION OF CONFERENCE: SERP'10 will be held at Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). This is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. It is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools, sunning decks, Easy River, wave pool, nightly shows, many restaurants, ... The hotel is adjacent to CityCenter ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CityCenter ) which is the largest private development in the United States' history (costing over $11 Billion); this offers access to additional recreational and entertainment attractions. The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
