General Chair/Coordinator:   H. R. Arabnia, PhD   The University of Georgia   Department of Computer Science   415 Graduate Studies Research Center   Athens, Georgia 30602-7404, USA   Tel: (706) 542-3480   Fax: (706) 542-2966   E-mail: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:hra@cs.uga.edu">hra@cs.uga.edu</a> Purpose / History:   This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering of   researchers in computer science, computer engineering and   applied computing.  Many of the 28 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP   are the premier conferences for presentation of advances in their   respective fields.   The motivation 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 these annual conferences facilitates   communication among researchers in different fields of computer   science, computer engineering and applied computing.  Both inward   research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and   outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and   applications) will be covered during the conferences. Submission of Papers:   Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (about   5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to   H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2006. email submissions in MS document   or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal submissions are also   fine.)  All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later,   the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a   particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for   publication.)   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, email address, telephone number,   and Fax number for each author.  The first page should also include   the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted)   and a maximum of 5 keywords.  Also, the name of the conference that   the paper is being submitted to must be mentioned on the first page.   Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and   soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in field.   The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person. Members of Program and Organizing Committees:   The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World Academy   of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific computing;   artificial intelligence; imaging science; databases; simulation;   software engineering; embedded systems; internet and web   technologies; communications; computer security; and bioinformatics.)   Those interested in joining the Program Committee should email   H. R. Arabnia (<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:hra@cs.uga.edu">hra@cs.uga.edu</a>) the following information: Name,   affiliation and position, complete mailing address, email address,   tel/fax numbers, a short biography together with research interests   and the name of the conference offering to help with. Location of Conferences:   The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel,   Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels).   The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference   facilities and over 3,000 rooms.  The hotel 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 and kiddie pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride,   wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts, health spa (with   workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality   game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants,   shopping area, bars, ...  Many of these attractions are open 24   hours a day and most are suitable for families and children.  The   negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable.   The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions   (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine dining,   street shows, ...)
