Coordinator/General Chair:

H. R. Arabnia, PhD
Professor, Computer Science
Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Supercomputing (Springer)
The University of Georgia
Department of Computer Science
415 Graduate Studies Research Center
Athens, Georgia 30602-7404, USA
email: hra@cs.uga.edu

Submission of Papers:

Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft/full paper
(about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2007 (hra@cs.uga.edu). E-mail submissions
in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable (postal mail 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, and telephone number for each author.
The first page should also identify the name of the author who will
be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 topical
keywords that would best represent the content of the paper.
Finally,
the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to
must be
stated on the first page.

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 two members of the program
committee who will recommend a decision to the chair of the track
that
the paper has been submitted to. The track chair will make the
final
decision. Lastly, the Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one
member of the program committee.

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.) Many members
of the program committee for individual conferences include renowned
leaders, scholars, researchers, scientists and practitioners of the
highest ranks; many are directors of large research laboratories,
IEEE Fellows, heads/chairs of departments, deans and provosts.
Each committee also includes two Student Members (in their final
stages
of their PhD programs) who are identified as such. Refer to the
conference web sites for the list of members of program committee.

Co-Sponsors (a partial list):

Academic Co-Sponsors of WORLDCOMP'07 include:
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Laboratory,
MIT (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
- Statistical Genomics and Computational Biology Laboratory,
Department of Statistics, Harvard University (Cambridge,
Massachusetts)
- Texas Advanced Computing Center, The University of Texas at
Austin (Austin, Texas)
- Statistical and Computational Intelligence Laboratory of
Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana)
- University of Iowa's Medical Imaging HPC Lab (Iowa City, Iowa)

Sciences, Moscow, Russia);
Other Co-sponsors include:
- HPCwire
- GRIDtoday
- STEM Education Society
- HPCSoft, HPC Software Inc.
- International Technology Institute (ITI)

Location of Conferences:

The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las
Vegas,
Nevada, USA. This 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, sunning
decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool, lighted tennis courts,
health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...),
nightly shows, snack bars, many 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, night clubs, free
street shows, Golf courses, ...).

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 25 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the
premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective
fields. Most of these conferences have been evaluated and
determined
to be top tier research conferences
(see http://www.cs-conference-ranking.org/index.html for an
example).
We anticipate to have 2000 or more attendees from over 75 countries
participating in the 2007 joint conferences.

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 from all over the world 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.

Important Dates:

Feb. 20, 2007: Submission of full/draft papers (about 5 to 8
pages)
March 20, 2007: Notification of acceptance
April 20, 2007: Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
June 25-28, 2007: The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science,
Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
(WORLDCOMP'07 - 25 joint conferences)
